If he doesn’t, it won’t be for want of trying, he seems to be a good professional having come up from non-league the hard way. He seems to have a good attitude.

A comparable player currently is Son over at our near neighbours, also being questioned by his team’s supporters, whether the manager has the nerve to bench him in the PL.

It happens to everyone in their career at some point, even the greats. Forwards especially go through hot and cold spells, or play well but don’t score or are quiet but pick up goals. It can be very streaky. Only when retire or drop down a level can you say it’s over.

The threat Bowen poses seems a bit diminished this season. But no reason why he won’t click again, he has the ability.

Son Was rightfully dropped to the bench today .....got introduced after the hour and at present on a hatrick ......maybe, but it won't happen, we could do that for Antonio and Bowen...in PL matches

Earlier in the thread there were comparisons of another Wolves game, I`m throwing in another comparison, 5.30 kick off everyone will be pissed up, if we don`t perform it could end up like the Burnley game, TOXIC.

Well, that's football fans for you. The misery of one set of fans is guaranteed to amuse the rest.

But it would be interesting to ask the bloke who planted the flag in the centre circle at the Burnley match what he feels his action has actually achieved four and a half years later.

Why don’t you ask him then ? You’ve had more than one conversation here with him…

I don't think he's speaking to me. I think I upset him by calling him a fucking idiot at the time he did it. He also took certain comments I made about Hammers United as being a personal attack on him. Which they weren't.. In fact one of the HU big cheeses replied to one comment I made and said my criticisms were constructive, which was nice.

But, hey ho, I don't suppose he gives a shit what I think and I don't give a shit about his opinion of me so life goes on. Although I do think it would be interesting to find out if he thinks his actions actually had any lasting impact. As far as I can make out the only thing it did was to get him a lifetime ban from something he obviously enjoyed spending his time doing.

Diverting off the topic a bit , but while we are on the subject of Paul and his corner flag , regardless of anybodys personal opinions re HU etc I strongly believe that if it wasn’t for those “idiots” that ran on the pitch that day Sullivan and co would never have dipped into the clubs funds or took out loans to fund the Pellegrini era and signings of players etc.

Ok it didn’t work out at that point but , in true GSB style , at least they tried.
