praisedmambo Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I see what you're saying but whilst I like JB's attitude and workrate , he's not ready to be playing PL games, especially must win games in a relegation scurmish . But you could say that every time we've had players come in for another who has been injured—Herd, Lichaj—of course it weakens the team because they're not as good as the players who were injured. Bowery has been involved in goals when he has played and I don't think he's as bad as you're making out, imo. I also don't think he's Messi or Ronaldo. Fact is, we have a pretty decent first 11, but if any of them gets injured it goes downhill fast. We have to deal with it as best we can when we utilise the squad players.

smetrov Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Wonder what will happen to JB, Now that we are are safe ? - He looks worth a punt for the fee paid - but looks a way off first team regular level ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 In Weimann's position he was very ordinary, not the kind of quality needed to move us forward from our lower Prem standard not even as backup. Hopefully he'll prove to be a useful as a back-up to Bemteke. I just can't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8pints Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 With Lambert's talk about "Playing man's football" I wouldn't be surprised to see Bowery out on loan next season to a team who will give him vast game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I hope he starts up front today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Aslong as its not wide, hes got decent pace but he just isnt a wide player, id like to see him start alongside bent today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norwegianvillain Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 My stomach tells me Bowery will come in handy for us over the next years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) I hope he doesn't start myself. I want us to pick our strongest possible X1 and that will be Bent in for Benteke and Lowton for Lichaj. Edited May 19, 2013 by PaulC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Bowery has had 314 minutes game time this season. Started 3 games, against West Ham, Stoke and Fulham, which gives him the record: W 2 D 1 The starts have come against the more robust weaker Premier League teams.

Con - Bowery also played (very well I might add) against Ipswich Town in the Fa Cup. He was totally anonymous though in the home games against West Ham & Fulham but apparently did okay against Stoke at the Britannia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only Lambert knew this information he could have played him in every game and we would be champions by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1958Villan Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Overall I have been impressed with Bowery. He makes intelligent runs but, needs to start getting the timing of those runs right, as at present he seems to be getting in the right position either half a second too soon, or too late. This will change with experience. Of course it could also be changed on the training field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folski Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Bowery needs a loan deal next season I think, playing time here will be minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) Think he will go on loan next season to be honest. or wot he said ^ Edited June 8, 2013 by Rodders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CI Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Perhaps 12 months at wolves would work for him. Or Walsall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyBM Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 walsall definitely, lets not help wolves, unless we could offer a minimal fee and bowery on loan for a season in exchange for hennessey... we need a back up keeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lp_villa830 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 i'd like to see him at a good championship team where he is starting every game. Agree with this. Any level lower than Championship wouldn't really help his development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I can't see him ever becoming a regular player for us or even being used as a regular sub or in rotation. We have better and will buy better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
