Hound Realistically Aluko has to be nowhere near the first 11 in the league. So many better players in the queue ahead of him. Lazy, soft winger/no. 10/attacking mid thing who can't tackle is just about the opposite of what Bowen appears to want, and rightly so
Fine to for him to play in this if he has to though. I'd personally be in favour of resting the entire first 11 from the last few matches - be silly to risk injury, and a few are probably close to doing themselves some damage
Plenty of quality in the squad to progress past Blackpool
Why? Yes he was very poor a year ago, but if Bowen can get the best out of him, he will be a useful option in the 2nd half of the season. He has proven with Fulham and Hull that he can play at this level. He has just been awful for us (so far).
