Bowen has played well this season in parts and helped us to win some games. He has also helped us to lose games. His defence is very poor and thats the only consistency he has shown since arriving.
I meant by posters on here WW, as for the rest of your post I totally agree!!
No probs.. I understand your posting that you have not said in any way Bowen was to blame... People do read into things the wrong way because it suits them!

Watched it again on Friday night and I thought you were a bit OTT about Bowen and the last try before seeing it again.
Tbh he was like a deer in the headlight. Awful attempt but also just as bad was our blockers not helping out. People needed to stand in the way of the Saints players but ball watched apart from I think Smith.

No pressure on the kicker also has been our Achilles heel, but at least Smith did his job Bowen literally had no other support, it doesn't excuse the woeful attempt.
I've seen it several times now and it's horrible. Just no commitment at all, like he just gave it up and it's unforgivable at this time, he has to make it up to the club and fans in a massive way.
Agreed not trying for 1 sec to make an excuse for Bowen.

At least if he'd got off the floor and made any attempt to catch the ball, there would of been the possibility of obstruction from 1 of the 3 saints players attacking. Zero commitment, unacceptable.

It is only worth protecting a player that is actually going to attempt to go for the ball!!
