    Personally, and I realise this will upset some, well, many people, I don’t think Jonny Rowe is any more overrated than Wes. He also could have games where he was completely anonymous, sometimes but not always redeemed by moments of great skill. But looked through the lens of nostalgia we only remember the great stuff. I think we will look back at Rowe similarly, although sadly I don’t think he will play for us anything like as long as Wes.

    Im not going to lie, this upset me. Wes was a great player. Jonny Rowe is capable of providing magic moments, but you cant really compare the two.

    Stacey is indeed much improved although he had such a dip in the middle of the season I can’t see him as a POTS candidate. He was really, really poor during that spell. Another one who is better attacking than defending which seems to be the way with modern full backs. 

    Most players fall in that category including Sara who suffered a dip in form.

    I just presumed Barnes is primarily in our team based on experience and his availability as free transfer, not necessarily that we want that type of player.  But perhaps i'm wrong and it is entirely by design.

    I suspect there are various moving parts currently. Not to mention our longer-term plan and whether that involves a new manager etc. Watch this space I suppose, but you would expect Knapper to have a mindset on longer term recruitment regardless of manager.

    What I can't wrap my head around is that SVH seems physically wrong to be that mobile player who can work the press as Idah and Sarge can, so i'm really intrigued as to how the coaching team will bring him to that level.

    I suspect SVH has been earmarked as a replacement to Barnes next season. If Sarge leaves and we are not promoted then we would need to replace him with a similar mobile striker, who clearly isnt SVH.

    One of our best players today and this season.

    Snowflake fans who give it the big one but can't take it back can go cry in the corner.

    Not sure I'd agree with this. Kenny having overall a good season but was poor today. Most his balls went astray, but then did a lot of other players being sloppy in possession. When the tempo is changed we look a better outfit. Slow build up play and we look like a clumsy team.

  6. I saw the extended highlights from the celtic game yesterday. A good header for the goal and a simple finish for the second. Im glad his loan is going well. However you could see that he still struggles positionally and doesnt bust a gut to get on the end of good crosses. Its beneficial for all parties that he does well on his loan obviously, but just my take is that we sell if we can get a decent price for him.

    Now of course before we start would like to say that just like everyone else I think Rowe is a fantastic player. One that will have a very bright and big future, of that there is no doubt. Hell, I even told you so almost two years ago😉

    https://forum.pinkun.com/index.php?/topic/147266-rowe-rowe-rowe-your-boat/#comments

    However think it's fair to say that when we got the news that Rowe is set to miss a few months we all panicked a little. But now we have played a couple matches without him.. Well, let's look at our last two matches. Eight goals scored without him!

    So all in all, while losing Rowe is a bummer..

    Have we missed him?

     

    Not so far, but pending any potential injuries we could be back in trouble. Luck needs to be on our side so we can continue trying to secure a playoff spot.

    Should bring in £30 million plus this summer for the club’s coffers. £25 for Rowe and Delia will be able to place another order for gin and sherry.

    Seriously though I think that Gunn, McLean, Nunez, Sara, Sainz, Rowe and Sargent give us a base for developing a squad capable of surviving in the PL.

    You can take Kenny out of that mix. As much as he is accomplished at this level, at prem level he is nowhere near good enough.

    Hear me out.

    Emi = Rowe

    Sargent = Pukki

    Now it was well known that when Emi didn’t play, we didn’t tend to win.

    It was also know that Pukki was very rarely injured if ever? If he had 20 games out like Sargent, would we have been more successful than this season?

    Could it be Wagner is the best coach we have had in a generation?

    Rowe is nowhere near the standard of Emi

    Won player of the season at Sunderland and the fans were begging him to stay as they loved him.

     

    How must he be feeling. Surprised he's not torn his contract up

    Yes clearly a competent player who must feel rubbish about moving to us and not playing. I just dont think he our passing from the back strategy, which I think me and most people were bemused as to why we bought him!?

    Sorry he is not a CH, didn’t do much wrong last night but just doesn’t look the part or have the strength or height to do the role. Lost count of the number passes back to Angus, somehow always seem to be facing back to goal.

    Clearly Wagner likes ball playing Centre backs / building from the back was his rationale behind putting Sorenson in that position and not one of the centre backs. He had a good game, but for me as a club & team, we need to push forwards and personally I would like to Sorenson moved on, with some others as well.

    Only Knapper can do that, Delia is too emotional and Wagner has the language barrier to be so precise in the terminology to be used.

    Maybe we could practise writing the script, and send it to him?

    Yes its Knappers place to back up his manager and add unity. If he decides that radio silence is the answer, then that shows his character. *albeit he likes to not listen to the noise 😉

    Trouble with Rowe is that he is yet to complete a full season. 

    We're now down to Onel, Fassnacht and Sainz. With Tzolis and Springett on loan, Placheta gone and Rowe injured it's starting to look a bit bare bones. 

    Sarge on the wing anyone 😉

    You're forgetting Super Sorenson our utility player all star, who is actually pretty turd.
