Halme MOTM so far. Generally looked much better than Swansea. We have had most of the play going forward - but dipped later in half. Radlinger made a couple of bad clearances. Brown and Mowatt done nothing so far. Williams looking weak.
What does mowatt do?? Apart from been really hardworking im baffled as to how we dont have anyone better in that position.
If reports are Correct Mowatt has been struggling with illness so I’m not surprised he was replaced. He’s a decent championship midfielder, lacks a bit of pace but he makes up for that with his awareness. Best we have in that position.
Mowatt has just one speed. He can’t beat defenders because of lack of speed. He wins only 50% of tackles. His shots at goal lack strength and are more like weak lobs. But given time he can pass the ball - but IMO he doesn’t use that skill to its full affect. IMO he isn’t good enough for us in the Championship.
There was a thread yesterday “there’s nowt so queer as football fans” I think we’ve found our versions of the fan in that thread.
https://www.whoscored.com/Players/136232/Show/Alex-Mowatt According to that website, WhoScored, Mowatt is the 50th best player in the Championship. 22nd best midfielder. Mallik Wilks is 332nd for comparison. The best? John Swift at Reading, who has the same number of assists as Mowatt, but two more goals.
You know where you’ve gone wrong there don’t you??? You’ve read something and believed it - instead of listening to me.
Mowatt would walk into 12 of the sides in this division with ease, possibly even more. When he's at the races he's as good as Hourihane ever was for us.
