Jonoridge91 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 The main thing I don't get with Bowery is people saying some of the youth players should be playing instead of him as they're "better" yet the people that see everyone train day in day out keep putting him in the matchday squad. He's clearly a better option than the others in the squad on the basis he gets to play. I can understand people wanting our 5th / 6th choice striker to be amazing but lets be honest a work horse will do just fine and to be perfectly honest, how many times has he been awful or even near that? The last part is true. With Bowery it all comes down to what we expect from him. Some people clearly judge him by comparing him to Benteke, Kozak and the like which I don't think is fair. When called upon or when he has started like last season he's always done what was asked and put in solid performances. He's no world beater and what I've seen he's not going to create something special out of nowhere but he does his job and is willing to be a squad player.

Chap of Steel Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 On the few occasions he has played a part I've thought he looked good. Seem to remember a decent performance against West Ham and a good bit of play to help set up the first Stoke goal. I seem to remember an article in which he said he always wanted to play for Villa, not sure where I read it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG_Villa_Fan Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) If anything he's being deployed as a defensive forward, a job he's doing very. Somewhere Alex McLeish can't stop fapping at the sound of this. Edited October 8, 2013 by BG_Villa_Fan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 How was he when he came on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 He comes on, works hard, puts in a shift, does what he can for the team and people dislike him. Rather have Bowery than Ireland. I have no issues with Bowery, he is a good body to have. He isn't a first team and probably never will be, but he works hard and deserves some credit.

StefanAVFC Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 He makes me laugh. He's honest and we always win when he comes on to close a game out. So there's that. Let's be honest though, he'll never be a regular in the PL b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 As the commentator said when he took that shot into the side netting, he should be shooting across the keeper there. That is showing his inexperience I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P3te Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 How poor must helenius be in training if Bowery is coming on ahead of him? Bowery is used to close games out, I would assume that Henelius isn't that kind of player. Bowery, if anything, is used as a defensive forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How poor must helenius be in training if Bowery is coming on ahead of him? He looked good in pre season He did. I really thought he'd get a chance earlier this season. He's a player I'm looking forward to seeing. But I just wonder how he looks in training if Bowery, a player who will never be a prem regular, continues to get time ahead of him.

Kwan Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Helenius will play. I think PL is trying to find the right situation for him. For Bowery, he's amusingly below average but we usually get points when he comes on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chappy Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 We seem to pick up points when he finishes a game on the pitch, no complaints with him coming on as a late sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
