wiseowl Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I`m sure I read a comment on here somewhere, that Danny Rowe was on a "basic wage" with a stonking "goals bonus" type pay structure. If so, no wonder he "looks like a frustrated player" - he must be getting skint! On the one hand, I feel sympathy for him i.e. coming into this club at the present time. However, football is a close-knit community and I am sure he could have phoned a few people to get "the inside track" about Latics. Even if only half of what we hear is correct, why would someone like him sign for us presently? It might be, of course, that nobody else saw much "league" prospect in a 30 year old non-league player. I know that sounds unpalatable to some but it is just possible that non league was his level. I sincerely hope not and that, with a change of the wind, he starts to blast them in regularly for us.

A football dressing room is no different ....there are people in there who simply don’t want to play football....CBJ may be one Chris Hall for us! Looked a terrific prospect. Big, strong and reasonably quick from memory. Remember him superbly heading the equaliser away at Wolves in the FA cup (2-2) in 2007. Not too long after, I think it was said that he didn't enjoy the training etc and he embarked on a modelling career, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigDog Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I reckon that as soon as Danny gets his second goal he’ll go on a scoring run. Starting at Orient would be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 If I go for an interview I tend to ask about how the business is run. Surely he would have discussed his role and the overall playing style before signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too long after, I think it was said that he didn't enjoy the training etc and he embarked on a modelling career, I think. I used to play in the same team as this lad before Latics picked up him. Big, strong and very quick however was never really that bothered about football and technically he was awful. Not sure what he's up to these days. I too was at Molineux that day, think it must have been early Jan and both Porter and Taylor weren't in the team. Rumours were they had both been sold. Seem to remember Craig Davies looking like a world beater for them that day too. Back on subject, I believe Rowe will score goals at this level. Playing to contain teams at home, with 10 men behind the ball, isn't going to get any striker firing though. Getting a manager in who has half a clue about footy would be a start.

Ans: YES The sooner the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah with Hamilton's average home league attendance below the 3,000 mark, I see where you are coming from. They nearly got a crowd of 6,000 when they hosted Rangers.
