lapal_fan Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I thought he gave a solid 7/10 performance yesterday. Did well with his back to goal, holding off his markers and playing simple passes. He was sometimes slightly slow in picking when to make a run and not using space, but that'll come with coaching and experience. Was unlucky not to score twice, one from a ball from Bent to the back post which he narrowly missed out on and the fantastic save from the keeper around 70 minutes. One critism is though that is he is very one footed (right). Always came inside rather than mixing it up like a natural winger would have done. But yea, nicely done mr Bowery, pleasantly suprised.

skarroki Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I think he should be starting against Bradford, may not be his level anymore but it's what he is used to, and i think he would cause big problems to the bradford defence. also giving him a couple of starts to give him some time to show what he can do, can't be a bad idea surely? He has the physical build to make it by the looks of it, it's up to him to show if he has the attitude, talent and potential now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwan Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I think this is his first start? Looks to be in his natural striker position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbcuk Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Dunno why he's starting, last time was shocking, never a premiership player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nath182 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Doing quite well by the sound of things, unlucky not to have scored so far. I was quite surprised to see him included today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I quite like Bowery. He's not amazing, but he puts in a lot of effort. He's like a less technically giften Wiemann. I think he started Today to combat Stoke's height and strength. He's more use than Bannan/ N'Zogbia when it comes to defending set pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackpotForeigner Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I like him too. With a bit of confidence he could add goals to his generally decent game. It's far too early to declare him a Premier League player, but even if he isn't he's definitely a real bargain signing, despite his status as a stick to beat the manager with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Showed a nice bit of control to keep the ball in. Generally, I don't think he has enough about him. It was a weird position that he was playing in though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwan Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I think he's probably far better as an out an out striker. Strong with a decent hold up on the ball. Just looks awkward out wide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Even if he isn't going to be a starter, will certainly be a good squad player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel1Avfc Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 He looked ok, but he shouldn't be starting ahead of N'Zogbia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praisedmambo Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 He looked ok, but he shouldn't be starting ahead of N'Zogbia. Its called tactics innit. Bowery did a lot of work today, and he's a big guy suited to away at Stoke—he won a lot of headers. We dominated that game so seems it worked.

BigCarew Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 lay off the fella, he played well today. Some unwarranted stick he's getting on here and I'm unsure to what he's done wrong. Even in the game he started at VP he didn't do too bad, He's playing on the right of a forward 3 and he's really an out and out striker. As somebody has already said, pleasantly surprised.
