Except when he isn't, like against Fulham. Ineffective.
Without Bannan on the bench, no fear of competition either.
Yes I agree its very strange that he wasn't even on the bench. I can understand the reasoning against Stoke. I also think if Bannan had of scored that own goal and that woeful shot that Delph did yesterday he would have been made this scapegoat on this forum.
I think he sees that he's hardworking, strong and pretty fast. Agreed that Nzog coming off was silly, but for everything Nzog does well, he screws up. Extremely frustrating player.
Yes I see he's hardworking but that's all I see. Nzog is frustrating but he scored the goal and was making things happen which Bowery wasn't doing so was pretty strange that Lambert took him off.
I don't think he's awful. Not too sure how he can be in the starting line-up for the wins against Reading and QPR and played well in those games yet be left out of the squad altogether for the last two games. I think he would have offered more composure than sylla who came on and just kept giving the ball away.
I thought we played ok. Not too sure what Lambert sees in Bowery though. Thought the substitution of Nzogbia was bad as he looked our most threatening player.
