Biography
Player #852 for Aston Villa, Jordan Nathaniel Bowery played as a forward for the club in Villaโs 2012-13 and 2013-14 Premier League campaigns making 22 appearances.
Bowery was born in Nottingham on 2 July 1991.
Paul Lambert had signed Bowery from Chesterfield for ยฃ567,000 on 31 August 2012 and like so many signings under Lambertโs bewildering regime, Bowery was out of his depth with Villa, plucked from the lower league with none of the attributes required to be a success in the top flight. In shades of the acquisition of Michael Boulding under Graham Taylor, the signing of Bowery was such a bad fit that it was almost cruel. Lambert persevered as to his credit did Bowery but reality couldnโt be cheated and the player returned to the lower leagues - as would his manager.
Lambert handed Bowery his debut as an 83โ substitute for Christian Benteke in Villaโs 0-5 Premier League defeat at Manchester City on Saturday, 17 November 2012. Quite what Bowery was supposed to do in that situation was lost on everybody, except perhaps this most odd of manager. Bowery had little preparation having made just 5 unused substitute appearances in the previous 14 games.
It would be the festive period before Bowery appeared again making 3 substitute appearances in 4 matches.
After his debut in a 0-5 defeat, Bowery came on in the 79โ of Villaโs record 0-8 defeat at Chelsea, was an unused substitute in Villaโs 0-4 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur and a 63โ substitute in Villaโs 0-3 defeat to Wigan Athletic at Villa Park.
On Tuesday, 1 January 2013 Bowery came on as an 85โ substitute for Marc Albrighton and in doing so played in a game where Villa scored, and didnโt lose for the first time in his career.
As a reward Lambert then handed Bowery his first start for the club in the 3-1 FA Cup 3rd Round victory over Ipswich Town on Saturday, 5 January 2013, partnering Darren Bent up front.
Despite the slight upturn, Boweryโs next two appearances, coming from the subs bench ended in defeats albeit far narrower than he had experience at 0-1 and 1-2 against Southampton and Millwall in the FA Cup respectively.
Incredibly, Boweryโs next start came after he was picked ahead of England international striker and ยฃ20,000,000 player Darren Bent in Villaโs 2-1 win over West Ham United on Sunday, 10 February 2013. Bent would however replace Bowery on 62โ and Villa would hit two late goals from Christian Benteke and Charles NโZogbia.
Bowery made an 84โ substitute appearance for goalscorer Andreas Weimann in Villaโs 3-2 over QPR on Saturday, 16 March 2013 and made his final two starts of the season in consecutive games on Saturday, 6 April 2013 and Saturday, 13 April 2013 as Villa beat Stoke City and drew with Fulham. Bowery was substituted in both games.
Boweryโs final appearance of the 2012-13 season came as a 74โ substitute for Gabby Agbonlahor in the final game of the season on Sunday, 19 May 2013.
As was often his way, Lambert used a player he had championed far more sparingly in his second season, sending Bowery out on loan to Doncaster Rovers. Back at Villa Bowery featured as a substitute on eight occasions in 39 games before making two starts in the final two games of the 2013-14 season. As ever life with Lambert was bewildering. Boweryโs last two games for Villa ended in a 0-4 and 0-3 defeat.
Bowery made his final appearance for Villa on Sunday, 11 May 2014 aged 22 before moving on to Rotherham United in July 2014 for a fee of ยฃ270,000 aged 23.
Bowery had played under Paul Lambert.

On This Day
Villa's woeful campaign continues as they lose for the seventh time in twelve Premier League games under Paul Lambert yet there remains little sign of boardroom concern at the clear downward spiral Villa now find themselves in.
It had taken the much maligned Alex McLeish 20 matches of the 2011-12 season to lose as many games.
Villa had conceded three or more goals on four occasions in 12 matches under Lambert.
Under McLeish Villa had conceded three or more goals on four occasions across 38 games.
Forward Jordan Bowery, 21, makes his debut after a simply ridiculous step up in level having joined from League Two side Chesterfield for a fee of ยฃ567,000 in August 2012 to become the 852nd player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Ciaran Clark makes his 50th start in a Villa shirt (56 Appearances) to make it W18 D15 L23, 7 Goals, 3 Assists and 16 Bookings so far in his Villa career. Clark has now picked up a booking every 3.50 games he has played.
Brad Guzan concedes his 50th goal in a Villa shirt on his 41st appearance (39 Starts) to make it W18 D7 L16, 53 Goals Conceded, 11 Clean Sheets, 1.50 Goals per League Game and 4 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Marc Albrighton makes his 75th appearance in a Villa shirt from the bench (46 Starts) to make it W23 D23 L29, 9 Goals, 11 Assists, 9 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.

On This Day
Anfield proves the very worst of false dawns as Villa's two League wins in a six game unbeaten run come to a crashing end as Paul Lambert leads Villa to their worst defeat in history in any competition as they ship eight without reply to leave Lambert's remaining reputation in tatters and a New Year managerial change presumably imminent.
Paul Lambert leads Villa to the worst ever defeat in the club's history, eclipsing the 1-8 defeat to Blackburn in an FA Cup tie on 16 February 1889.
As a result Villaโs five game unbeaten League run (two wins, three draws) comes to a crashing end
Villa have now lost 8 of 18 Premier League matches under Lambert.conceding 3 or more goals on 5 occasions.
Brad Guzan concedes his 60th goal in a Villa shirt on his 47th appearance (45 Starts) to make it W20 D7 L17, 63 Goals Conceded, 14 Clean Sheets, 1.54 Goals per League Game and 4 Bookings so far in his Villa career.

On This Day
Villa are destroyed for the third consecutive game and have now conceded fifteen without scoring as Paul Lambert continues to plumb new depths without mitigation and with no reaction from an incompetent boardroom.

Villa have now lost 10 of their 20 Premier League matches under Lambert.
Villa have now conceded three or more goals on seven occasions under Lambert.

On This Day
Paul Lambert's Villa start 2013 in terrible shape. A manager who looked out of his depth after 8 games now looked positively dangerous after 25.
Villa stop their worst ever run of defeats - losing three and conceding fifteen without scoring - but can only draw with Swansea as they enter the new year in arguably the worst form since 1970 and undeniably since 1986.
Seventeen goals conceded in four games, a record defeat, a bomb squad that had robbed the squad of much needed defensive talent and a bizarre choice to consistently leave the best goalkeeper at the club on the bench, were just the headlines of Lambertโs reign. If Paul Lambertโs incoherent mumblings made no sense nor did his actions.
Yet for the first time in four games Villa scored as Christian Benteke once again secured Villa points they didnโt otherwise look like getting and climb to sixteenth in the table - one point above the relegation places.
Paul Lambertโs preferred side had delivered just once, albeit spectacularly at Anfield, in 21 League games and that was enough for many to cling to the belief that the Villa boss would get things right. Yet the reality was Villa were in a mess that would fester and worsen through inaction. Pride comes before a fall after all.
Christian Benteke's remarkable start continutes as he contributes his 15th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 21st appearance (19 Starts) to make it W7 D6 L8, 9 Goals, 6 Assists and 2 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Brad Guzan makes his 50th appearance in a Villa shirt (48 Starts) to make it W20 D11 L19, 72 Goals Conceded, 14 Clean Sheets, 1.70 Goals per League Game and 4 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Fabian Delph collects his 15th booking in a Villa shirt on his 49th appearance (35 Starts) at a rate of a card every 3.27 games he has played and makes it W18 D15 L16, 2 Goals and 15 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Matt Lowton makes his 25th appearance in a Villa shirt to make it W8 D7 L10, 1 Goal and 4 Bookings so far in his Villa career.

On This Day
Villa struggle to victory against Championship side Ipswich in the 3rd round of the FA Cup.
Villa win for the first time in 5 games under Paul Lambert.
Fabian Delph makes his 50th appearance in a Villa shirt (36 Starts) to make it W19 D15 L16, 2 Goals and 15 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Nathan Baker makes his 25th appearance in a Villa shirt (23 Starts) to make it W8 D5 L12, 1 Booking and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.
Darren Bent contributes his 25th goal involvement and secures his 20th win in a Villa shirt on his 54th appearance (48 Starts) but had now been substitute in 5 of the last 8 games, starting just once in the League, having only been a sub once in his first 46. Bent's record now stood at W20 D16 L18, 23 Goals, 2 Assists and 1 Booking having scored 3 times in 14 games under Lambert compared to 19 in 40 under his predecessors.
And yes, Paul Lambert did leave Christian Benteke unused on the bench.

On This Day
Villa's awful season gets worse as they are beaten by Championship side Millwall just days after losing to League Two Bradford with Paul Lambert setting more and more simply incredible levels of failure.
Paul Lambert's Villa are knocked out by of the FA Cup by Championship side Millwall, three days after being dumped out of the League Cup by League Two Bradford
Almost as bewildering as the manager's incoherent mumbling was the appearance of a banner in the away end proclaiming "In Paul Lambert we trust".
Wags suggested it was Randy Lerner's last investment in a desperate attempt to keep the season afloat. Whatever the provenance of the banner the reality of the last 31 games was all anyone needed to know.

On This Day
Villa can't manage to extend their strongest run of the season under Paul Lambert to four wins in five games against clubs around them in the relegation zone as they are held to a home draw by Fulham to leave them still deep in trouble.
Andreas Weimann makes his 50th appearance in a Villa shirt (31 Starts) to make it W19 D15 L16, 13 Goals, 2 Assists and 5 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Joe Bennett makes his 25th appearance in a Villa shirt (21 Starts) to make it W7 D6 L12, 2 Assists, 4 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.
Brett Holman makes his 1st appearance for over a month, and has now made just one start in a Villa shirt in 2013 having done so 16 times in the first 4 months of the season as the winger continues to be the latest player to fall out of favour with Paul Lambert. Holman's 2012 record was 22 Appearances, 16 Starts, W6 D6 L10, 2 Goals, 4 Assists and 1 Booking. Holman's 2013 record by contrast was now 6 Appearances, 1 Start, W6 D10 L12, 0 Goals, 0 Assists and 0 Bookings.
Charles N'Zogbia contributes his 15th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 59th appearance (40 Starts) to make it W18 D20 L21, 5 Goals, 10 Assists and 8 Bookings so far in his Villa career.

On This Day
Villa end the season safe from relegation as โPetrov dayโ celebrates the career and retirement of Villa great Stiliyan Petrov.
Villa end this most difficult of campaigns with a draw at relegated Wigan to leave them with a stack of unwanted records and with a host of players either exiled or underperforming by this most bewildering of regimes.
It would be difficult to imagine that a season without relegation could have been much worse.
Off the pitch there was chaos and recrimination with the infamous Bomb Squad of first team players not to be considered for duty robbing Villa of crucial experience, whilst players and systems were constantly changed leaving an incoherent manager presiding over an incoherent style of play.
Record defeats, lower league humiliation, sub par players and performances, the banishment of effective first teamers and a malevolent discontent meant that in normal circumstances Paul Lambert would have been another one term manager consigned to the dustbin of failure.
These werenโt normal times however as a distracted and disconnected Chairman seemed to accept and encourage this most bewildering of management regimes.
In truth Villaโs form throughout the season meant they should have been relegated. Villa though avoid relegation under Paul Lambert at the last thanks to the goals of Christian Benteke and latterly Gabriel Agbonlahor without which a first relegation since 1986 was inevitable.
Perhaps that end to the season bred over confidence, if true itโs difficult to understand the chutzpah of forgetting the other 40 odd games of mostly ineptitude.
Whatever it was, this most undeserving of managers got an apparently emboldened endorsement for a second season.
Consider the statistics:
Paul Lambert has now led Villa to 16 defeats in 38 games in the 2012-13 season.
Much maligned Alex McLeish delivered 14 defeats across the entire 2011-12 season.
Lambert had hit that total in just 28 games.
Villa have conceded 3 or more goals on 9 occasions across 38 Premier League under Paul Lambert.
McLeish had suffered four such games over the 38 game 2011-23 season.
In his first season as manager of the club, Paul Lambert delivered the biggest defeat in Villaโs history, 0-8 to Chelsea.
In his first season as manager of the club, Paul Lambert set the record for the most goals conceded in successive games in Premier League history.
Villa secured 5 wins in 25 League games under Paul Lambert. The five wins in the final ten games that effectively saved Villa came against Reading (19th, relegated), Queens Park Rangers (20th, relegated), Stoke City (13th, one point above Villa), Sunderland (17th) and Norwich.
McLeish had delivered that many by New Years Eve 2011.
Villa were never out of the bottom five under Paul Lambert in 2012-13, spending most of the season in 17th and 18th until the six-pointers against relegation rivals at the end of the season lifted them to a barely believable 15th placed finish.
McLeishโs Villa never dropped lower than 15th until the final two games of the season when they fell to 16th after finishing without a win in ten.
Yet Lambert was not only still feted by a section of the support to the same degree as McLeish was hated, he was confirmed as manager of the club for 2013-14 even before the final placings had been realised.
Darren Bent scores his 25th goal in a Villa shirt on his 63rd appearance (51 Starts) and had now been substitute in 11 of his last 17 games, starting just three League games, having only been a sub once in his first 46. Bent's record now stood at W24 D18 L21, 25 Goals, 3 Assists and 2 Bookings having scored 6 times in 23 games under Lambert - with 3 of those goals coming against lower league cup opposition - compared to 19 in 40 under his predecessors (1 Cup Goal against Premier League opposition). This would prove to be Bentโs last game in a Villa shirt for 43 games as Lambert would exclude the player from selection for the entirety of the 2013-14 season for no apparent reason.
Forward Simon Dawkins makes his 4th and final appearance for Villa (0 Starts) aged 25 before returning to Tottenham Hotspur at the end of his loan spell. Dawkins, never looking a Premier League player during his 5 months with Villa, left with a record of W1 D1 L1, 0 Goal, 0 Assists and 0 Bookings from his 71 minutes on the field for Villa.
Brad Guzan concedes his 100th goal in a Villa shirt on his 67th appearance (65 Starts) to make it W26 D15 L26, 100 Goals Conceded, 14 Clean Sheets, 1.68 Goals per League Game and 4 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Fabian Delph makes his 50th start in a Villa shirt (66 Appearances) to make it W24 D18 L24, 2 Goals and 20 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
