There were many posters saying he should be dropped, that his performances had become less effective etc. Quite rightly Frank always played him if he was fit.

Oh there was sure but if I remember rightly that came later when his form dipped. I was specifically talking about early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike some in the team, he is not only trying to fit in a new system, he is trying to fit in s new team and has had less than a handful of competitive games. I agree we should cut him some slack but then I am in the “Do Well” camp. You will have great difficulty now convincing those in the “Ne’er-do-well’ camp.

drgoodspeak Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 So far, terrible. Nothing he does works or brings value. Free kicks, shots, passes, corners, crosses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyMac5 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Start the car, I'll drive. What an awful game he's had - so many wasted chances to create something. Very poor indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Funny thing is, he was better than he was against Bristol City which was on par with his performance at Stoke. Still poo though. Only notable contribution is the penalty he conceded at Huddersfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abu Dhabi Ram Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 He is a poor man's Marco Reich and that is being very kind. I bet 90% of our moves break down when he becomes involved. We had chances at the end, but his passes are frequently overhit. His dead ball delivery is equally woeful. Do we have to play him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbadosRam Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 It’s anyone still believes Dowell is/will ever be an adequate replacement for Mount then today’s performance gives the answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 He astoundingly seems to get worse and worse every game that passes. Jason knight is a better player already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andicis Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I have to say, I was heavily advocating for giving Dowell time, and we still should, but it gets really hard to support him when he puts in a performance like that. Dreadful. He never passes the ducking thing, and always tries the poo little predictable dribble, and then gets pushed off it because he isn't strong enough. I really hope Cocu can coach it out of him and turn him into a better player, because at the minute, he isn't at the level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackNwhites Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 C'mon, let's list his strengths. He's absolutely brilliant at making space for himself to receive the ball, and he's pretty decent at trapping it. His major hang up is that he hangs onto the ball for way too long. He puts himself under way too much pressure, which impacts his dribbling, passing, crossing, shooting, everything really. He's unfortunately a liability for us, which is a shame because we're desperately lacking in centre midfield. His set pieces are pretty atrocious as well.

DanS1992 Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 Well I think he was even worse that the game bristol city. At least he doesn't disappoint, I only expect him to be shocking based on what I have seen from him. A midfield player who can't pass, can't create, can't shoot, can't take free kicks... Young Knight was miles better than him. I hope all the fans in the Dowell "Do Well" camp can now see that he is woeful, and does not bring anything to the team.

ROKERITE Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I thought Dowell was a superb signing. I'm surprised and disappointed he's started his time at Derby so badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
