Spoony Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I thought Bowery was superb yesterday. Hull was struggling to contain him at points and he seems to have a good cross on him. There's definitely something there, it's just a case of getting him to show it more often. He costs us nothing so we may as well keep hold of him and see how he develops. Before yesterday I'd have said "get rid" but now I'm not so sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Why not wait to see if it's more than one swallow before writing a 22 year old off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanO Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Was that the first time Bowery played in the CF role for us? Yep, and that's the point as with Weimann played in the correct position they can play but put out wide etc they aren't good enough so rather than get on their backs we should be blaming the manager for playing players out of position.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) I've never understood the dislike frankly. Every time I've seen him I've thought he's a lively enough player, with enough ability to make things happen but lacking in confidence and the end product. Both of those things are probably the hardest skills to "learn" and he's not going to do that with 10-15 minutes here and there. Poor management IMO, though I appreciate it's difficult under our current circumstances he should have been given a run ages ago ahead of the toothless Gabby and Weimann.

ermie123 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Well i have to say that i ridiculed him on here, but now after watching him yesterday, his attitude and his performance lead me to believe we may have a player in there and someone just needs to bring him on, after all Gareth Bale was crap when he first started!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTTERDAM1982 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 He cost next to nothing, in a key game yday he came on after 20 mins and had a positive effect on the team, thats all i want.Never going to be a top quality player, but works hard, and played well yday.Good Luck to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 for £5,000 a week, in this day in age, it's **** all. I'd rather have him come in and do as good a job as he did, than pay steve sidwell, or someone of his ilk £40,000 to get 3 good games a season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasoncb Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Makes the Holt signing even more of a mystery if Bowery can put in these kind of performances. Though my concern is how many goals can he chip in with, or is it enough to just feed Weimann. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a case that they won't have the confidence to shine at first ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickjacobjr Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Sorry one swallow don't make a sure not good enough at this level Be fair, he's not exactly had a great deal of game time has he? I think a season out on loan in the Championship would do him the world of good. he was on loan at Doncaster didn't score a goal like he wouldn't hit a barn door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heid3ster Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Pleased for Bowery, he had a fantastic game. He offered much more than Holt. I was very impressed by the way he bounced back after the unlucky own goal. I'm not convinced that he's got a future at this level either, but on the basis of that performance I certainly wouldn't mind him getting a few more chances.

P3te Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 It's a real shame our remaining games are against City and Spurs away, because yesterday showed us a completely unexpected partnership between Bowery and Weimann. I'd have loved a look at them together up top again in a couple of winnable games. Chances are we'll never see that now, because you wouldn't think either will be starting next season under a new manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
