Gower

[biffo]

Have no idea if he is injured or not or why he was not present tonight but had a whisper that he alledgedly let rip on Ron Martin following the dressing room dressing down and stormed out of the hall. Also, RM apparently turned up at all this weeks training sessions. I am sure none of this is true but interesting none the less.

 

[Beefy]

I heard he's got a back strain. Who knows....?

 

[Ricey]

Where was Maher??

Where was Maher??

Apparently in directors box according to another thread

 

[blue heaven]

good question can only presume he was injured today.

Heard in the East Reds the same thing. Martin went into the dressing room after Tuesday and Gower stormed out.

Cheerio Gower storming out on the chairman is classed as gross misconduct to me.You will sorely be missed down at the casino.

Surely, that's a contradiction?!

Nonsense, nothing wrong with a frank exchange of views, if indeed this alleged incident happened.

On the subject of Maher so far on this board, he was "rested" yesterday, seen storming away before the game, and been seen happily in the directors box.

 

[Blueshrimper]

I like that directors box. In the last week Maher, Clarke and Freddy have all been in there...

Presumably picked up carrying the hefty weight of expectation from some supporters over the past four or so seasons?

Even though this season he has not enjoyed the fine form exhibited in the Coca-Cola Championship, or indeed prior to that, he has still managed some pretty special moments, including the last-minute winner against Swindon and the goal at Forest.

I was very fortunate to be able to interview Gower early in his second season at the club. I asked him how he felt when supporters criticised him for being lazy. He explained that on many occasions he has taken to the field when not fully fit, and he has not physically been able to produce what he does on occasion on a regular basis. I guess that that is why he was allowed to leave Spurs, and why he's now playing in League One. He remains one of very few at Roots Hall who can genuinely turn a game on it's head in an instant.

i can confirm that ron martin was over there on monday tuesday and friday i went to watch them train

Freddy Eastwood??

Na I was just taking the **** out of the stupid rumours that have been on here. Someone said he was in the box whilst magically being on the bench for Wolves...

 

[The General]

I think its pretty obvious that Gower has been carrying knock/s all season and that obviously seriously affects his performance!!

I'd be more concerned about the 37 goals that he's scored for us at a rate not far below what Fallon's managed in his career so far.

I love the hypocrisy of fans when it comes to footballers having a gamble and to a lesser extent a drink. I'm not saying that you are a heavy gambler or an alcoholic but I'd say the return's been pretty good from someone to the point that there's no need to question his personal life.

I remember reading that he slipped a disk in his back in our League One winning season which is obviously a very serious injury and one that I doubt you can just get over.

For what it's worth I still think he's the best player at the club.

Read into it what you will...and dont call me surely!
