Fans have been hoping that the dearth of type of the 2 strikers would see Rowett both flip to free-scoring teenage prodigy Lorenz Hutchinson, who was on the right track for England Under-18s over the worldwide break, or strive Divine Mukasa or Dujuan Richards up entrance.
But with City’s Championship future on the road, Rowett is in no temper to experiment, and will probably be centered on getting probably the most out of Ayew and Daka.
“These are things you look at and we have quite a few young forwards in and around the club,” Rowett stated. “But we have two very experienced forwards.
“Of course you look at different areas and different profiles, but the reality is that in the desperation for goals, I’m not going to stick someone up there who’s never played as a striker before. The reality is I don’t think that’s going to work.
“It’s a case of encouraging Pato and Jordan, the two experienced members of the squad. Jordan scored a fantastic goal for Ghana and Pato scored a great goal for us against Ipswich.
“It’s about giving them the environment, platform and support to go and be the best they can.
“At this stage, I don’t think there’s a magic recipe. If there was someone that was going to score lots and lots of goals, they’d be put in. There’s no manager that wouldn’t do that.
“It’s something we need to improve as it’s something that could define our season. We need to keep working on solutions.”
With Daka coming back from worldwide obligation late, Ayew could be the man to start against Preston on Friday.
City’s high scorer this season, midfielder Jordan James, will even be assessed after his harm with Wales, and should battle to start out the match.
