That's what all the fancy Italian strikers become when they lose their legs. Dowell never had any to lose so he's a Trequartista by default. Chroisht Dowell no legs, Josh no left leg? Who buys these misfits? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Worthy Nigelton 1,301 Posted January 21, 2023 Dowell has great quality on the ball, always has. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 5,011 Posted January 21, 2023 He lacks pace for sure. Got through 90 mins today though after a week of intense Wagner training and is capable of killer balls to the forwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Top corner 260 Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) I know it’s only two league games, but after these performances, would you offer Dowell a new contract?….I would Edited January 21, 2023 by Top corner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He’s a quality player for this level. I’d seriously consider dropping Pukki deeper too. Couple of times yesterday he dropped deeper, took possession, turned and created chances. He’s very good at holding onto the ball. No point continuing him as an out and out striker without a proper number 10 and deep-lying playmaker, to move the ball quickly and incisively between the lines. 🙃 thanks TVB 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 10,765 Posted January 21, 2023 Even in his poorer performances under Smith, anything good that happened did tend to come through him one way or another. I bet Pukki is much happier with Dowell in the team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Drinkell 51 Posted January 21, 2023 Creatively our best player, but as has been said not pacey. So put engines and pace around him - let him use his brain and ability to find space for himself and others. Its been crying out for this since Emi left, and not replaced Thank goodness DW has seen this. That said it work for teams who keep possesion and against Burnley???

keelansgrandad 6,680 Posted January 21, 2023 Surprised he doesn't take our set pieces. He is accurate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark .Y. 375 Posted January 21, 2023 I have to say that his goal today is likely to be under-rated but was actually exceptional, he basically sold a dummy to virtually the whole Coventry defence and then finished beautifully 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty13 2,736 Posted January 21, 2023 I think he’s been comfortably our best AM since Emi left and Cantwell went off the boil. We’ve spent 18 months trying to play 433 and he always looked out of place to me over that time even though you could see he was one of the only players capable of serving Pukki. I’m really glad to see us playing to the strengths of the talent we have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
