Jordan Bowery

I like him, he obviously does exactly as the manager asks and we win because of it.

The lad is a trier and will probably get better and as we are and likely to be for a couple of years middle table / bottom half team (IMHO) then he will be ok for us as impact player and occasional starter.

Agree we would double money paid for him.

And for those being negative about him well please save your ire for the long list of ne'er do wells , lazy twunts and shit stirring snakes who have not graced our team over the last 30 years - Hodge, Collymore, Warnock to name but 3.

I thought he played really well yesterday.

Was a bit dubious when I saw his name on the big screen starting as I thought he was just in for his height but I thought he gave an energetic display and could easily have scored, either the rebound from Weimann's shot when he slipped or early in the second half.

I didn't think he'd amount to much but who knows in time he might be a useful squad player for us.

Lambert obviously sees something in the lad that even Chesterfield couldn't see. Given he's only played out of position so far, I think he's not done too shabbily at all. He works hard, does what he's told. Actually I never expected to see much of him this season at all.

I do think we missed a bit of the flair and dribbling ability Zog could have given us down the right yesterday. Particularly as Stoke were very flimsy there. Bowery didn't really have it in his locker to run at people with the ball so had to double back a few times and a few attacks broke down. But again, he's a striker, not a winger (yet anyway...Lambert may see JB as a wide player long term maybe).

Yes. PL seems to give him a specific job, and he gets it done. I have to admit that each time he has been picked to start I have raised an eyebrow, Roger Moore stylee.

Very average but might improve after a full pre-season. Nzogbia should of been brought on much earlier with a tired defence ......

The scoreline, statistics and our win ratio with him in the team show you're talking rubbish.

He doesn't look a naturally gifted footballer to me, but he gives it everything he has got.

[Brend'Watkins]

I was surprised he made the starting line up Saturday.  He looked okay to good overall.  If his inclusion was at the expense of Bannan then he will keep his place for Saturday as he offered more and looked like he had a goal in him something Bannan doesn't have yet.

limited footballer or not, we've got another 6 battles ahead and we need to yield at least 6 points to ensure safety. bowery will give it his all for the team, i couldn't say the same about stephen ireland.

Not really. I wouldn't start considering win ratios for so few games. And lets face it N'Zogbia could have had an absolute field day against Stokes shite back line. They were all over the shop.
Bowery did okay but nothing more.

I don 't really get this argument, Bowery did his job and we won, nzogbia could've been better but also could've been a lot worse.

Credit where credit's due. I said Lambert had made a mistake playing this kid before the game started but I was talking bollocks. He does not look like a 2nd Division player and some of his touches Saturday were very good. He could easily play in the Championship and in time we will make a profit on him.

This. I have always said I will sacrifice some talent for guarenteed commitment and professionalism.

The scoreline, statistics and our win ratio show we have not beat them since 1984 at there place so i do not see your logic. Bowery looked tired well before he came off as he is obviously not match fit. When Nzogbia came on he livened our play up. I think he should of of come on 15 mins earlier and his introduction resulted in a victory ........
