That surely cannot be the case... Scored Exeter,s goal before the red card, I thought he was a great player for us, good hard honest pro and scored a few goals as well.

He certainly put in the effort but (and I don't say this about many 'Well players) didn't have the talent to operate at our level. A good foil for Moult, but a Premiership goal scorer he was not. League Two and below are his level, and I'm happy for him that he continues to find success there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsince75 Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Bowman put in effort but like weeyin said struggled at this level. 1 goal every 7 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the lightweight options we have at the moment up top, I think he would he would walk into the team, he'd certainly put more effort in than Long., win more balls into the box to provide some decent chances for Cole and Watt.

Kris-A-Goalda Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 30 goals in 81 appearances (if you believe Wikipedia), plus another couple of years experience under his belt, means he'd definitely be worth a start for us at the mo. But again, it all comes down to supply. Outside of Tony Watt, we have zero to little creativity, making our front three very easy to play against. The only team that have made us look like a proper, dangerous attacking side this season were County at Fir Park. Since then, teams have nullified Watt for the most part and with no wingers or proper outballs, whoever has played through the middle has struggled. Cole's confidence and hold-up play has improved since Alexander has come in and he's scored from areas you'd expect a striker to score from. Long has looked a bit livelier as well, but for the most part - set pieces aside - they are having to carve out opportunities for themselves instead of getting on the end of passes, crosses or neat interplay. If we could make better/more chances, Bowman or a Bowman-type would get among the goals for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C&A not the shop Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 He's not better than Cole or Watt and a totally different player to Long. If we don't play a three up front (which is now the agreed wisdom on this forum since we'reover run with 3 in midfield) then I don't see how he walks in to this team. A good option but he's not going to be in any different a position than what he was when he was with us previously. Third choice striker.

Yorkyred Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Bowman was obviously at his best alongside Moult, great in that period and a very hard worker, less so when Moult left. Would I have him back ? Sadly I probably would although any striker is going to suffer with a none existing midfield and that’s what we have just now. Even Campbell was twice the player he is now when Bowman was about, what I would give for another Gorrin, a class above anything we have at the moment.
