Sam Bowen / Will Vaulks

Re: Sam Bowen / Will Vaulks

Vaulks is one of the few that tries to break his lines with the passing.

Again he’s not great but it would be better with a pass map would be a good indicator rather than totting up stats from sideways and backwards passing like others.

Our team doesn’t make it easy. Often no outlet and about 60 yards between strikers and midfield

Breaks lines :hehe:

Breaks his team mates spirit more like.

Re: Sam Bowen / Will Vaulks

He should be in a one man defensive midfield with two outlets in front of him.

The Gunnarsson/Arter role

I’m my opinion we have about 3 players that all try to do the same job and it doesn’t work

Gunnarson and Arter might not have been Pirlo but they could pass a simple ball 10 yards to a team mate.

Re: Sam Bowen / Will Vaulks

Vaulks given the role with 2 outlets. Feckin hell id feel sorry for those 2 outlets.

Re: Sam Bowen / Will Vaulks

Vaulks is alledgly a midfield player whose main attributes is passing , possession and tackling however many are in midfield .

Bowen is good let's not burn it out and except that level of consistency game on game

Vaulks should absolutely not be trying to break the lines. He can't. He was a centre back until he was 18/19 and it shows. He should win the ball and pass it to a blue shirt.

It's remarkable for someone who is technically gifted when it comes to striking a ball, how often he fails to make simple passes.

Vaulks isn't disciplined enough to do that. He runs around after the ball. Gunnar would put the handbrake on. We really, really miss Gunnar.

Re: Sam Bowen / Will Vaulks

Vaulks is not a playmaker though he’s being forced to do jobs that just isn’t his bag

I’m not saying passing accuracy isn’t important as it often puts us under pressure but I don’t think Vaulks is all that bad just asked to do the wrong jobs.

Problem is we have too many of the same player all over the pitch and lacking in others

Well done for Sam Bowen though long may it continue

What's unfair about asking a player playing in the second tier in England to be able to pass the ball? Regardless of his midfield role, he should be able to pass the ball. A defensive midfielder(his actual position) breaks up play and ermmm... Passes the ball.

Re: Sam Bowen / Will Vaulks

If handled correctly Sam Bowen could be quite a playmaker for us.
Playing in a style of hoofing is not helping him one bit

Re: Sam Bowen / Will Vaulks

If taking the ball under control with one touch and passing it to a team mate 10-20 yards away isnt his bag then maybe he shouldn’t be playing midfield in the Championship

This.

Re: Sam Bowen / Will Vaulks

Perhaps we need to think out of the box and try players like Vaulks or Pack as center half's who can play out of defence rather then the hoofing ones as that would improve our possession ???

Pack and Vaulks at CB, Ralls, Bowen and another at CM I'll try anything at this rate.

Re: Sam Bowen / Will Vaulks

Its desparate times but playing Vaulks at centre back isnt the answer I dont think. Pack can do a job in a 3 though.

Hmmm, you may be onto something here, seven at the back.

Wonder if Mick has thought about this one

Re: Sam Bowen / Will Vaulks

What job should Vaulks do then?

Bring him on around 87 minutes to waste a bit of time?
