Quote ="Big Dave T"Exactly. I'd add Dowes to that too. Dowes has been poor for 2 seasons, King has been poor for 5 seasons and Thacks has only ever had 1 good year. For some reason people want to resign/keep them however they are probably major reasons why we dont win the forward arm wrestle and have been mediocre for a couple of years.'"
I thought I'd seen real signs of improvement in Dowes prior to hi sinjury. I thought he was running harder yards, carrying defenders with him and putting in plenty of defence. For me the question would be do we need both Cusack and Dowes? Two work-horses that can grind it out for long spells or is one enough?
