There's a lot more posts on here disliking Rowe compared to praising him. Mainly because of your high volume of posts about him. He has some ability that could be useful for us but he has flaws too that could make him a flop. Hard to call at this stage and I'd say how he's managed will tip the balance one way or the other.

BP1960 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 A 3 minute video of Bahamboula's contribution in this game would be a real treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eg for Sefil and Vera I give you Benteke and Dolan Already agreed with you, there. Every signing we make might be an AL/Mo signing however, unless every manager we have had since AL's arrival has a scouting set-up that concentrates on the European lower leagues, there's clearer indication there that AL and Mo are making these signings and forcing the players on the manager. It's a strategy that failed, then they seemed to abandon and the Bahamboula signing could be an indication that they have returned to a tried, tested and failed transfer policy (not that what they did in between was much better). The definition of an idiot is someone who repeatedly tries the same thing and expects different results... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worcester Owl Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Yes Forte was on fire at the start of 2014/15. He scored his 13th league goal with a penalty in the 3-0 win at Rochdale at the end of November 2014, at which point we were 6th in the table. That was from 17 appearances, a good strike rate, though 4 were penalties. Unfortunately he only scored twice more in his next 17 league games and missed the last six matches of the season. McAleny already has 6 goals in all competitions this season from 7 matches and in the last six seasons very few players have scored more in the entire season!

Clubfootkilkenny Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 McAleny was crap yesterday, like he has been every other game. I thought he was going to be our best player this season but that finish aside, he’s been poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
