Then you are mistaken Atomic, Rowleys trademark is the attack, think back to his time with us as head coach, he wouldn't change the team or rotate the squad because he wanted to keep the offence playing together in his certain pattern.
It was also very very noticable and no coincidence that Salfords fortune changed and they became far more expansive when Rowley joined them, I stated on another site when Watson was leaving for the Huddersfield job that if he doesn't take Rowley along with him, he will not have the same success.
