How do YOU feel about Jarrod Bowen as a West Ham United captain....

Clearly a legend but a few dissenting voices 👀

He's gone down hill over the last 4/5 months. He's just not showing up. He should never have been made captain it should have been Soucek. However he's not the worse ayer in the squad by far.

Soucek seems a popular choice as skipper! Can't say I disagree!

Been poor lately if he moves fine chelsea good shout and they helped beating spurs. Stays in london why go up north dani loves it in london. Good luck to him. Hate northern clubs bar newcastle and city.

he has been off the pace of late but you can't carry a team on your own for 6 years. The rest need to step up

richardmills193005mo ago

Bowen has been our best player for 6 years he has carried us he looks knackered please cut the guy some slack

reubengane55mo ago

Bowen is the Ideal player's representative but he's not a commanding skipper, the captain should really be a defender or midfielder, Souchek would be fine.

He has been a great player for us season after season, but this season he has been below his own high standards, our league position isn't down to him there are many factors, starting for the boatd downward

jamie.brown825mo ago

Let’s see if he stays in the Championship!! 😡

jamesshearman235mo ago

Do you reckon he will? I think he’s off

Jarrod Bowen is west ham he's proved that time and time again. The coach the hammers have now should have never been appointed in the first place. In my opinion. I'm 76 once a hammer always a hammer.

Trouble is West Ham just don’t attract top managers. When was the last time we bagged a top manager ? Pelligrini was passed his best by the time he rocked up, Billic maybe, Harry ? You probably have to go back to Greenwood and Lyall.

drtwarley5mo ago

Great player, but not a captain. I think West Hams plight this season has played on him, and affected his performances

jamesshearman235mo ago

Absolutely right. The issue is I’m not sure there’s an obvious captain in the squad

jasonholdaway135mo ago

Not bin in it for last few games something on his mind ?

jonathan.gorrie5mo ago

It does feel as if he's gone into his shell a bit, doesn't it? (All relative of course)

ray.baxterct19515mo ago

It's the same in cricket, top batsmen in the main, lose their mojo when given the captaincy.-[come on chillout]

jamesshearman235mo ago

Just like this man

ray.baxterct19515mo ago

It's wrecked his form, a captain needs freedom to roam during a game to stir up team mates who have lost the plot.A captain should ideally be a midfielder (only my view,) am I wrong?

chillout5mo ago

Yes - I think Bowen isn’t the right material anyway - just needs the freedom to play

jonathan.gorrie5mo ago

Yeah I've always felt as if Bowen was a stange fit. Brilliant player, a legend. But a leader? Maybe not.

davesims5mo ago

I thnk disappointigh and frustrated as feel, that it was a whole team bad performance and its wrong to pint out any singe player . The performance and our poor start in every game so for away or at home has to be left at the feet of the Manager. Why do you coach in this way ? Your way is clearly Championship form. .

ray.baxterct19515mo ago

Blimey Dave,that really wound you up mate, that post was done in anger judging by the first sentence.I loved the passion.

jonathan.gorrie5mo ago

That formation is still winding me up right now 😂

jakewhu6mo ago

We can’t be criticising Bowen, without him we’re already down.

chillout6mo ago

Sure we can - he didn’t go enough

jonathan.gorrie6mo ago

Oh I broadly agree, I just know a lot of people who'd like a more vocal leader. Whether that's right or wrong is up for debate!
