Do YOU think that Jake should start ahead of Bowditch

[Icy Gull]

on Saturday

I have no idea myself as I've only seen 2 of the last 7 or 8 games but it seems DW does not have the confidence in him to give him an extended run, whilst Bowditch has apparently done very little over the last few games?

Jake should start

 

[Yorkie]

Jake is better coming off the bench with around 30 mins to play.

 

[buller89]

jake deserves to start i say. He has put in good performances and still finds himself on the bench.

 

[Skidmarks]

Bowditch is crap on the wings,

 

[Mendoza]

JAke is not a good player when he starts, especially when Cox is playing as well

Better coming off the bench when the opposition are tired and put in less challenges for the ball

Bowditch is better at running at players and tends to look up more and pick out passes.

Jake just puts his head down and cries when a defender goes near him, then hits a 60 yard pass towards Dean Cox

 

[Da Man Clay]

Why cant we play both? Bowditch on the left and Robinson on the right? Westlake and Thomson in the middle.

Was it Tranmere that Bowditch started on the left with Cox on the right?? Bowditch looked totally out of his depth.

I agree with Yorkie, Robinson is better with 30 mins to play.

I Disagree, i think that Jake is the only one prepared to take on his man and run at them. Bowditch and Cox especially seem to cut inside all the time.

I think Jake offers us a better option.

Robinson is sooo inafective when he starts. Better to just keep it how it is with Jake coming on in the secound half.

 

[Munkfish]

Id say start jake, he will be shit he always is when he starts, then bring bowditch on and hopefully he will have a stomer!

 

[Easy 10]

Whats a stomer ?

 

[Man of Harveys]

Whats a stomer ?

It's a bit like a prolapse

 

[CHAPPERS]

Jake is a BOTTLE JOB.

Bowditch every time.

 

[Simon Morgan]

Either Jake OR Cox should start, not both. Could possibly start Jake and Bowditch, as previously suggested.

 

[Simon Morgan]

Infact, I would say our midfield should be :

Cox, Martot, Thomson, Westlake

Jake is pretty much our best option coming off the bench and we will probably need him in that capacity.

Agreed. It's funny though, Martot was getting SLAUGHTERED on here about a month ago but he's looked in good nick for the past couple of games.

 

[jonny.rainbow]

Bowditch on the left?

Surely that would require Bowditch having a left foot?

 

[Caveman]

I've voted no. It has worked well of late with Jake coming on.

So don't change a winning formula.

Bowditch has been pony for 3 games now. I'd definitely think about dropping him - he might be good coming off the bench?

However, Robinson doesn't make the most of his chances when he starts, and is usually better off the bench. BUT, he scored on his last start, and scored in the week. He might be worth a punt for that reason - he's got a bit of form. Dropping your only goalscorer is a bit shocking really.

Martot is not an option on the wing. He has no pace, skill or the ability to cross a ball. The same can be said of Fraser.

Hart intruiges me. He's done well Right midfield in the past, and his game is probably better suited to a 'battle' away from home. He's apparently playing well for the reserves, but can he still do it at this level? He can certainly cross a ball, and with Murray alledgedly prolific in the air (granted, he's had one albion header at goal so far and fluffed it) he MIGHT be an option. It's hard to judge without having seen him.

But Wilkins doesn't like him, or Robinson, so it'll be Bowditch.
