It's not a bad idea my only concern (haven't been able to judge) is his mobility. He is fast becoming a boo boy, perhaps his style, being languid draws the attention.

I realise I'm in the minority but bowery for me is a good footballer and I think he should start. He may do well anchored off a halford type but not sure this is entirely necessary. Bowery holds the ball up and protects it very well as well as being able to run with it better than any of our players.

I still think smallwood and green compliment each other the most with a runner and width ahead to link up with bowery/Derbyshire.


The issue is our width both behind and in front of the ball. Lafferty and Hunt made every difference to our team and stopped the congestion we saw on saturday- releasing players into the box.

That's the standard. We are way below that at present.
