What did that achieve other then make the kid who has struggled to see any faith shown from Voss being started as a sub countless times feel like he is still very much on the outer. He even cracked the joke they would rip the stands down if we subbed him so he couldn’t do it.Thats how I surmised it Shawny...I have been a fan of Dow since his U18 days and wondered why his numbers in the twos didnt equate to games in the seniors but the first half showed why Voss has been reluctant to play and trust him beyond being used as the sub. He kicked that goal in the second half which was good for him but you would probably expect that to be kicked by a senior player in that scenario nine times out of ten.
I would have preferred Voss to use that game to generate as much confidence for Dow from it as possible with no negatives but instead now feels like not much has changed.
Obvious Voss is still not a fan and Dow will be delisted at seasons end which as a depth mid on min contract I would be happy to retain him but don’t see it happening.
I think he makes a reasonable sub who can give you a burst of possessions and some run and carry but I still dont see him as a four quarter midfielder who I would trust vs decent opposition not to cost you a couple of goals through lack of composure.
He relies on weight of possession numbers rather than quality of possessions at the moment and that hasnt changed since his U18 days.
