Something to remember with Bowler is the fact that in effect his deal runs out at the end of this season. Yes there is an option of another year but for all intent and purposes he doesn’t have a club on 1st July next year.
At times he looks frighteningly good, others you’re tearing your hair out at his decisions in and around the box.
For my money he’s busting a gut in every performance, which is often the ideal thing. I just get the feeling he’s half a mind on his stats and contribution to the team, goals get him more money and a longer deal either here or elsewhere come the end of the season, assists won’t have the same effect for him. All that busting isn’t solely devoted to the team, which is often born out in his final third decisions.
Not a critique of him, as he’s a luxury we can currently afford.
