Lee Sinnott Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Did anyone from the club actually see Rowe play before we signed him or did they just keep seeing his name pop up for Fylde and decide "yeah, we want this lad"? We are using him completely wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are his strengths? ...they aren’t pace, heading ability , defending. He can clearly shoot and his forte is supposedly free kicks, but we don’t win many of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 AL paid money for Rowe and will be expecting a promotion challenge next season and/or a profit on his outlay. If Dino can’t set this team up to get a tune out of Rowe he’s going to be mightily pissed off!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well for sure he is never going to be chasing full backs down, ...by pro standards he is no athlete it is also clear that it is worse than pointless having him in our final third.....he is to blame for goals against Carlisle , Crewe and today his goal scoring record however is phenomenal and any team can cope with a player who does nothing other than score goals and that is all we should be expecting him to do and facilitating that . As I say free kicks and pens account for many goals but what I am seeking is opinion on how we get him contributing goals for open play....he does not look a tap in six yard box type player ... and you are absolutely correct in highlighting the bigger gap than people believe between conference and league 2......look at the regularity with which Murphy Duffus and Wilson score in that league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His game is waiting just outside the penalty area for a snapshot at goal. Unfortunately, no one seems to have cottoned on to this yet. Much as Jonny Smith deserves praise this season someone needs to tell him to lift his head up and pick a pass. Rowe was free on one occasion in a great position, but Smith chose to try and beat a couple of defenders and the chance was gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
