He took five marks and had several decisive spoils, a couple against Buddy. Rowe's performance was considerably better than Jamison's and his grunt work allowed Weitering to zone off.
Bolton has made it perfectly clear that he won't talk about individual performances and he's said nothing about Rowe or other players. The fact that Rowe is our first choice CHB probably gives some idea of how Bolton and the other coaches rate him. Just accept that Rowe is getting a game and will continue to do so until we recruit or develop another couple of key defenders; Jamison will probably go before Rowe.
We are an awful football side. When we are getting enthusiastic about Jones etc. we are kidding ourselves. The truth is, we have NO forwards. If you don't have people who can kick goals when that is what the whole game is really all about, then we are a joke at best. How we haven't detected this issue over the past 5 years and tried to groom some people for this job, and I don't mean hacks, is beyond me. In fact we have done the opposite, traded them away. I'm not sold on Bolton either. Stop talking about 'oh we only used 90 rotations' etc. mate I don't care about rotations... teach them to kick the damn ball through the goal first.
