Just looked at the highlights and as I'd thought, none of the four goals were down to what people call 'classic centre forward play' or 'leading the line'.
I'm not saying Stewart isn't an important player but the club seem to be finding ways of avoiding building the side around one player. Mowbray is a savvy individual and he, I believe, hinted at this when he said 'we need to find different ways to score goals'.
We need to have players who can come in to make a difference in different ways, Michut, Ba, Roberts, Matete, etc. I've seen suggestions that Dajaku should be sent out on loan or moved out altogether ... I couldn't disagree more.
He's just the type of quick, dynamic forward player we can educate into playing alongside those we already have. All of this type of player will have periods when they look tired, due to our intense style, and rotation will follow imo.
I love to see Stewart start but I'm never going down the road of 'irreplaceable hero' ever again whether it's a player, manager, groundsman or kit man ...
... as KLD said, before he came here, football can be a rotten business.
We need to get used to the fact that sentimentality is for the supporters and the club has to be totally professional, even ruthless, and run the club for the club, the whole club and nothing but the club.
We've had decades of slovenly, fake, highly paid mercenaries taking the money and taking the piss, di Canio was right about that if nothing else. Give me Dajaku over Rodwell any day of the week and have SAFC in the media for all the right reasons.
Roll on Blackpool, Ha’way the Lads!!!
