I take it you mean big Conor McAleny, all five foot nine of him against a six foot plus central defender. As a target man? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps they did and he chose to come here. It’s more likely though they had doubts as to whether he could do it at this level with his lack of mobility. I think his performances with us have proved he can though, making it less of a gamble. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do you really? I still think the jury is massively out on him. I read somewhere (not sure the accuracy of it) that he has failed to score in 18 of his 23 league games for us...

This season he's had 850 minutes in the league on the pitch, with four goals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Probably true, but he is one of the very very few in this team that can actually pass a ball. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GlossopLatic 2,566 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) I think its clear Rowe is one of our better players. He's pretty much already got Goal of the season wrapped up and while he clearly lacks mobility his shooting prowess and his overall technique are excellent for a player at this level, and as he doesn't rely on pace it should mean he can play at this level well into his mid 30's What I would say is an important discussion point though is if we shipped him out would we get an equally good if not better replacement? I'm not sure we would. Edited January 2 by GlossopLatic 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I do fancy him to notch if he gets half a chance but his vision and weight of pass when he drops deep is levels above league 2. Especially important with the lack of creativity in our midfield. I have notice him struggle when he’s not been playing regularly though - see beginning of the season so it may be a similar story today if he plays. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This season he's got 4 in 8 league starts plus 5 sub appearances, so overall 7 from 17 starts plus 5 off the bench. Given our generally poor midfield I'd say those are decent stats, plus as others have said he can actually pass the ball. I don't think we need a jury. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
