Errol Flashman Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) Don't recall Teddy Sheringham having a change of pace. But he held it well. Had an eye for a pass for his partner and chipped in himself. Ahh well, all about opinions I suppose. Stuart Grays being the only one that really matters. One thing I do know for sure. There's not many manager I've ever known who dropped their top scorer when they had no one realistically pushing for the spot behind them. Edited September 23, 2014 by DEH9 Just a bloke.

curren Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Waddle always looked knackered...he was always running at the end just like NuhiuWaddle and Nuhiu in the same sentence. .....Dear God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViolaOwls Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 to be fair the lad hasn't scored in a few games and missed plenty of chances. Madine looked good at brum and by all accounts looks very good in training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Guns Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Do people really expect a 6ft 6 bloke who probably weighs around 14 odd stone to be quick? 14 stone is really light for someone 6feet 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheriwozgod Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 AAAH Here we go..............the latest fad.................nobody is allowed an opinion on Nuhiu unless its a good one. I,m not a big fan , but happy to be proved wrong , and thankfully the lad has done exactly that for most of the games this season , but he was below par on Saturday , particularly in the first half when he was poor. Having said that he would still be in my starting eleven tonight based on his overall contribution this campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Nuhiu has been one of the most improved players in the league. He doesn't deserve to be dropped for this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozzy85 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 The guy at the weekend looked a bit poor. I'm happy with the knowledge a pygmy can outjump him, that doesn't bother me slightly but he was even struggling to sprint early in the first half against Reading. Madine has to be chomping at the bit and is a bit more athletic, surely it's time for a small change up top? It doesn't have to be a permanent change, just a kick up the jacksie. Plus I think Madine is worth another gamble. He like May (M&M?!) is a natural finisher, without them being too similar to play alongside each other. Edit: Still struggle with his surname without checking sorry! Cant agree with ya, like most people on here. He does far more than just score goals for this team. Still winning games at the mo and a major one here....he's our top goal scorer this year!!!! For that reason i'm out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mancunian_Owl Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Can i neg someone 100 ? He drags defenders 2 at a time, thus we have a spare body + he his finding his scoreing boots I won't harp on, but if you fancy passing some of what you have been smoking/drinking/ shooting up (delete as approprite) please drop off at our house for the party on Saturday all the best Andy I once petitioned Owlstalk for this type of power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archieswfc Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Once we get another striker in to suppliment Nuhui and May,then iam afraid that Madine's chances of getting any first team football will have but disappeared at s6 unless we have another injury crisis.The best bet for him is to go out on loan to a league 1 side. You might be correct buy don't write the lad off without giving him a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not many manager I've ever known who dropped their top scorer when they had no one realistically pushing for the spot behind them. Again it's a different world entirely from the 90s/noughties when Sheringham played. This isn't a dig at you mate - but the 'older' fan seems to have these blinkered spectacles on where they believe 'back in my day' the standard of football was considerably better, and the good players then could now hold themselves in the modern day. I personally don't believe in any way, shape or form thats the case for players like Sheringham. You can't deny players from the past were exceptionally talented.. But do they in any way compete with modern footballers in terms of athleticism? No. Quite frankly, Nuhiu isn't an athlete. In fairness to the guy, he's lost a bit of extra weight and seems a little stronger. Fair play. But he's not, and never will be as able as say, Madine, to play two different roles either as a target man or a man who can run the channels. It's fairly harsh that I'm criticising him for something that is almost genetically predispositioned. But it's how it is. Today's game is cut-throat. I will always believe that while we only have May, Nuhiu and Madine as available striking options - with the possibility of Hope, who seems to be being deployed more as a wideman - then we have nowhere near the depth and diversity of options that is required to get promoted. In a side like Derby - Nuhiu would flourish. But here? I have to say despite our fantastic start our slightly toothless attack is concerning me. Part of me thinks the only reason for this good start is down to Lees, Loovens and Westwood who all have been brilliant in keeping us clean sheets - meaning we only need one goal to win. But what if either of them get injured? The clean sheets go missing.... What then? We suffer. We don't have that quality up front to outscore the opposition when we concede. It's no coincidence that in two of the three games we've conceded we've failed to pick up all three points. And we came very close to blowing it against Middlesbrough. I think realistically I'm being awfully picky. But Nuhiu doesn't fill me with confidence before a game he's going to get a goal. May does, and hes been excellent so far. But we desperately need a partner for Stevie who can notch regularly too. Nuhiu is doing a great job, but he's not a convincing, consistent striker. The past few games he's dipped below his performances at the start of the season. It wouldn't surprise me if he goes on a barren run in front of goal now. Time will tell. I'm far from convinced we have the quality to maintain this run. Fantastic so far. Great performances. It can all quite easily fall apart though and that scares me.

Spookone Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) He's the best footballer at the club, but I just think right now Madine might be more effective up top. wrong on both counts.

Edit: Still struggle with his surname without checking sorry! -37 and counting. 10 games, 6 wins, 3 draws, 1 loss. And peoples opinion is we should pick Madine as he "is worth another gamble" Why not also through Kamilkaze in defence, Corry in Midfield and Floro in defence too whilst we are at it. Oh snap, or we could continue with the team that has only lost 1 game in the last 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acording to some on this site these last couple of weeks we should drop, Nuhiu, coke, semedo, maguire, meghoma, palmer, and mattock because they're not playing well not up to it in this division or are league 1 players. lol lol. Good job stu picks the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_ Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 The whole "it's a different game from the 90's" is moot, if anything it's more diluted and less physical these days due to constant diving and unsportsmanship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
