Agree, one thing that really got me annoyed about Chester was that he was insistent on playing players out of position to fill gaps.
We need a 9 to step into Hoods shoes. Bowes is a 9 - it’s that simple. Chester would end up playing Crowther there in this exact scenario (not knocking Crowther btw). It used to drive me barmy but it appears that Poching is more trusting of the deeper echelons of his squad.
