Perth Glory coach Kenny Lowe is ignoring the boo boys calling for his sacking after his side slumped to their third straight defeat going down 2-0 at home to Melbourne City on Tuesday night.
Glory fans were heard chanting âwe want Kenny outâ in the second half of the loss, which means Perth have conceded 11 goals and not scored one in their past three matches as they slided outside the top six.
Perth owner Tony Sage had told 6PR on Monday that Lowe would remain coach until the end of the season, but the pressure is mounting after the latest defeat.
Lowe, who has been Glory coach since December 2013, was asked about the crowdâs reaction, but seemed oblivious to the negative feelings.
âThe crowd is great for us. If weâre honest and genuine and we work ever so hard, which we do, the crowd supports that,â Lowe said.
âTheyâre excellent, they always have been, they always will be. No matter which way the game is going, if you give that, theyâll be 150 behind you and they were tonight, you could hear them.
And thereâs the very audible âWe want Kenny outâ chant, not that itâll make a difference. #PERvMCY

âA bit of fortune here or there, you can be more in the game, you pinch something, Xavi (Torres) has a strike, keeper doesnât know where it is, Cas (Diego Castro) has gone through a little one over the top, convert that into a goal and the momentum starts to come again.
âWe were controlling the game in the second half.â
Lowe also claimed Cityâs penalty award for their second goal was âsoftâ after youngster Daniel Arzani went down inside the box under pressure.
The Glory boss felt referee Jarrad Gillett had made a âfew crazy decisionsâ during the match.
âI thought it was soft. If thatâs a penalty for them, itâs a penalty for us on Jacob (Italiano),â he said.
âTheyâre saying to me âthere was contactâ, then great, if thatâs how it is, then thereâs contact on Jacob too, so itâs a pen.
âThere was contact on Tags (Adam Taggart) as well, he got pushed from behind, thatâs contact, thatâs a pen.

âI thought there were a few crazy decisions.
âThe one we got pinged for Cas, heâs actually in, behind the back and they brought it back.
âBut thatâs the cards for us at the moment. Thatâs the way things seem to fall for us.â
Lowe also revealed he had been forced into a defensive re-shuffle with defender Jacob Poscoliero taken to hospital in the early hours of Tuesday morning due to a virus which left him vomiting.
Poscoliero was discharged from hospital on Tuesday, but it left Lowe short of options with Joseph Mills unable to prove his fitness to play due to a neck injury.
Xavi Torres and Scott Neville both returned early from injury, given Gloryâs shortage of options.
âXavi shouldnât have played, Nev shouldnât have played,â Lowe said.
âAndreu shouldâve come off the bench. It shows the spirit in the group.
âThe players are sacrificing for the team. Theyâre putting it in.â
