Rev Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Nice neat and tidy player, but what are we missing that he answers? I'm struggling to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jourdan Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 When he first signed, I thought it was an underwhelming one. He had squad player written all over him. In the two games I've seen, I haven't seen very much from him to change that view. But by the same token, it's a long season and we have played four games in total. The signs aren't promising, but maybe he needs one game and one performance to kickstart his season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcfcfan1 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I dont think our midfield is top 6 quality or our wingers, and thats very worrying CB and Strikers we are doing fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papahet Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Pretty average IMO. Along with our wide players, if Cocu manages top six with this lot he’s pulled off a miracle. Rooney and January cant come fast enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaffyRam Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I actually think there’s a fantastic player in there. Give him time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I'm not a fan so far. I hope it's because he's trying too hard but if the Rams were a Roman army then Dowell would be a skirmisher Sent forward to harass the enemy and soften them up. He doesn't seem to have a killer instinct in the final third. Mount would see a pass that cuts a team open. Wilson would see a gap to shoot through. Travel back in time and Ward would see an opening to wriggle through. Bryson would see a space to attack. I mean Lawrence would dribble through a brick wall. Dowell plays a nice game. One where nobody will try and tackle him and somebody else is bound to create a chance. He's nothingness. Along with FloJo he's listening to Bob Marley and making peace for John Lennon. 100% deserves more opportunity. He's not been especially bad. He's young and it's a new club. But yeah, to evaluate his contribution so far... not very good. A passenger not a playmaker. However there are times he's not helped by Lawrence playing on his own again and Waghorn has the first touch of Connor Sammon. Basically the front 4 haven't been poor but they don't really help each other. No great understanding/partnerships look to be developing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ck- Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I do think it's a little early to be writing his season off. It's a step up for him and will take a while for him to find his feet, to understand the pace and strength of the championship, and to adapt. If after 12-15 games he's still making the same mistakes, I'll be worried. At the moment I think I can see a good player in there, so let's get behind him.

Thierry Ennui Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 He played well for the first 30 minutes and for most of the Swansea game. There's a player there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-Ram Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Three league games. Bit harsh to already judge a new player, particularly in a team that is getting used to a new Manager’s tactical requirements. Tough crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilGeeWasMyIdol Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Dowells problem is he is following perhaps 3 of the best loans ever at the club, and he is filling Mason Mounts boots. I saw him against Swansea and I think he did well enough and he's the best option in that role. We will know more in 10-15 games time, too early to be concerned for me.

paintingstandsatderby Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Feel it's a battle between him and zoon for early scapegoat of the season. Give them time and Sir Phillip of Cocu will have them playing like world beaters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoon looks like he's never played at this level before, never mind above it, quite how a wide forward doesn't position himself to stop the ball down the line I don't know, but he somehow manages it.
