Without Bowman theres no way Jay scores 18 goals next season. On that basis, and the fact they scored 32 goals combined, he has to stay.
Don’t see how you can say this with total confidence. If Bowman leaves, we won’t know the impact on the team, or indeed Jay, until we see how his replacement(s) fair. Bowman is solid, but nowhere near irreplaceable.Without Bowman theres no way Jay scores 18 goals next season. On that basis, and the fact they scored 32 goals combined, he has to stay.
Is this a whoosh or not? It’s been a while since I’ve seen one properly delivered, so I might be being a bit trigger happy.Doyle 19 Main man
Bowman 14 Supporting role = Proper pairing
I guess you’d be happy with just Bowman.
Nothing can be said with complete confidence in football, otherwise bookies wouldn't exist! In terms of Bowmans input with regards to Jay, they both suit each other very well. Succesful teams compete with a solid spine. We've already lost one integral part of that spine in Taylor. Getting rid of Bowman would be another big blow.Don’t see how you can say this with total confidence.

Your exact quote was “without Bowman there’s no way Jay scores 18 goals next season”. That sounds totally confident to me!!Nothing can be said with complete confidence in football, otherwise bookies wouldn't exist!

Yes, but It:s not a fact : it's just your opinion.I'm afraid it's not a fact, it's your opinion.
Bowman is far more than just about the goals he scored. If you can't see his value to the team then really there isn't much point debating it any further.
The Proper Chap has already pointed out that Bowman's goals came in a short spell during winter time. If he didn't score in over 30 other games and hardly ever assisted it's no surprise we didn't get promoted.Who gives a toss how many goals he assists? He's in the side to score goals. Nobody will remember whether he set up ten or one hundred but everybody will remember how many he scored.
Michael Owen used to say that Heskey was his ideal partnerPretty obvious really, think Emile Heskey
