The Original OTIB Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 It would seem that Rowe is cover for that position (and a few others). We are quite short on lefties though. Baker wouldn't work too well, I don't think. Callum might but would probably sulk about it. Maybe there weren't many out there on the market (good enough, good value, wanted to come here). Perhaps a free agent is available. It could be our weak spot if Jay gets a long term injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Original OTIB Posted August 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 It does seem odd that we're gambling on Rowe to bit part that role if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked what I saw of Rowe in pre-season. Admittedly that wasn't much, mainly the 'first' Derby game. But he looked like a leader, fit as a fiddle, I think he'll do well in that "Older pro who can support as needed" role. Olsson is a good shout, although a quick google throws up some Sunderland links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcnick Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Holden who also went to Walsall for a season loan has a January recall so I'd expect the same clause to be in the Cam Pring loan deal. Can't really understand why he was loaned out as he looks a classy player and we need left back cover. Would have added height to the defence when needed and interchanged with Desilva just as Lloyd Kelly did last year. Good in the air and gets forward dangerously. Has a bit of class about him and aged 21 now so it's an odd one that he wasn't kept here. Scroll down for his efforts for Walsall last week on BT's twitter :- https://twitter.com/tinnion_brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBristolian Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 I find the lack of cover odd and a massive gamble. One thing I wondered is whether Pereira or Hunt can play on the left if needed? I've never seen any evidence Hunt can and I don't know much about Pereira but the thought did cross my mind...

Chivs Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Don't we need a genuine left back first? I've never seen JD mark anyone, stop crosses coming in, make a tackle or win any header in a defending situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More effective offensively - so we need a left back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 That mistake from O'Dowda was awful against Leeds. So needs to learn, but has usually looked very capable in his defensive duties. Rowe got bit of experience there but no pace. I'm concerned a bit about injuries in left back or centre back positions. Soady was academy player of the year. Had Mendez-Laing in his back pocket in a 23s game. Maybe he will be given a go if Dasilva is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal came from a cross from the left where Baker was the closest player but couldn't commit and stood off because Rowe was out of position - so for me yes. looks good going forward but not so great positionally.

YorksRed Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 Didn’t see Rowe play, but listening to him just now on RB you can understand one reason why he was brought in. Great attitude, bright and intelligent and would appear to be a leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a bit unfair....it was from a free-kick that got headed up onto the air and Baker unsure where it had gone. We weren’t lined up in standard formation so to expect Rowe to be at traditional LB to closedown the player the ball fell to is unfair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
