Sam Bowen has a pass success rate of 97% today. 33 out of 34 complete.
Vaulks average pass success in the league this season is 62% averaging just 20 passes per game.
It’s little wonder our performance improved today with Vaulks dropped.

I think Sam Bowen played very well yesterday.Quote:

Ceiron brown played really well also
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
But what about his long throws…. ;-)Quote:

Wonder if there could be a place for Sang as wellQuote:

Our team doesn’t make it easy. Often no outlet and about 60 yards between strikers and midfield
He should be in a one man defensive midfield with two outlets in front of him.Quote:

Instead of 'break his lines' with his passing, what Vaulks should try to do is pass to one of his teammates.Quote:

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

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

correctQuote:

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