Notts Royal Ascotexgunner Notts Royal Would we have had more faith in Bowen, had we finished say 10th? Or more with Pauno currently?
I know it’s a lot of ifs buts & maybes, but it’s interesting to know.
I’m far from sold on Pauno...tactically & substations wise. And I had more faith that Bowen knew what he was doing & understood the game over here. Would the next part of his project seen us further up the table?
Im not advocating sacking yet another manager right now, but it does remind me a bit of Stam & could see him gone quickly next season if we start slowly
HAHAHA Bowen achieving what Paunovic has achieved this season.....hilarious.
Bowen was part of the problem for this mess behind the scenes with previous managers. Should have been given his P45 after the Swansea debacle as he walked off the pitch last season.
I'd love to know what his input was into some of the shit we have signed on big contracts.
Under Paunovic youngsters are a better option, especially if we get screwed by the EFL. He has bought on some good talent....
Wasn’t our overall form under Bowen top 6-10, after Gomes left? He took us from 3rd bottom to 15th...carry on that trajectory and that would’ve landed us in a similar position to where we are now.
Where’s your proof Bowen was the one who handed out big contracts? He’s on record saying he didn’t rate Puscas, one of those given a lengthy contract.
Only under Bowen did Olise become a regular, as well as McIntyre. Rino retained his starting place & Richards featured regularly.
In fact, the only youngster that’s been given more of a chance under Pauno has been Holmes.
Interesting observations
Prior to the Covid pause, a table under Bowen would have seen us 5th. Include the results after the restart and we finished 11th, as we were atrocious when the season restarted.
If Covid hadn't have happened who knows where we may have finished last season as we had momentum.
The only thing you can say about both managers whatever your view on them is neither have had the chance to manage in a proper season.
