Tyto Alba Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I just can't bring myself to hate him, no way. He's like a big friendly bear that tries his best all the time....and he does have something different to offer. OK so he isn't pretty on the eye, come on get behind him he is one of us.

Hes a footballer that's headed a ball in the build up and now its him that's saved the day. Christ come on This in a nutshell. Nuhiu can pass it 2 yards in the middle of the pitch to a Wednesday player and there will be people on here saying how good it was and how he changed the game with it. I've never ever ever seen us have a player do so little to get so big praise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The praise for nuhiu goes way way overboard at the smallest thing he can do, it's almost patronizing to him I think. He's a professional footballer earning a few grand a week, I expect better from him with his height and physical attributes. It's my opinion he's not good enough for a club with our ambitions. If you don't agree then fine. All about opinions. Edited September 26, 2016 by RichieB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike1867 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 He scored my favourite goal of the last couple of seasons. The thumping header at Burnley last season when we lost 3-1 but started to show signs of what would come. Its a goal we don't see too often anymore from us. A flat, curling cross from way out wide into the second six yard box and a towering thumping header where our centre forward has bullied the opposition centre half and just planted the header. I think he would have more success as a Wednesday goalscorer if our style of play meant we delivered these types of balls on a more regular basis, but we don't. Generally with players his size they will draw defenders because you just can't fail to notice the big lump. I'd like to say that is what happened on Saturday, but he merely shook his marker, flicked it on and the rest is history. He's our Hail Mary.......if he contributes in the same way, in the same context 5 times a season, that's 10 points better off we would be. I'd say keep him.

Implying that professional footballers only attract attention if they are big is a ridiculous statement.....do you think Forestieri doesn't get a mention in opposition team talks because he's not 6'4?....no wonder Bannon always has lots of space!

Almost as ridiculous as your negative rep.......anyway I'll play ball. Look at the context of what I was saying. If you are a central defender, six foot and a cigar and you are hanging on in the last few minutes and the opposition are going a bit more direct, you would naturally direct your attention to the six foot plus striker brought on for such a purpose. Woe betide you with your manager if you let him get in front of you and he ends up giving the opposition second ball in the box (as Saturday). Do they only draw attention if they are six foot plus? Of course not, but if you are a big defender and you get isolated and skinned by FF well there isn't much you can do, but you can aim to stop the direct ball. This is the Championship and whether you like it or not the majority of central defenders are very wary of direct balls into the box and balls from out wide. If you are perceived as a 6 foot threat in the box, you will draw the attention of 6 foot central defenders. If you don't, there is a greater possibility of what happened Saturday. Like I said, he's a Hail Mary. It won't always work but then if the team has played well and done its job, it shouldn't have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't love him, he has huge limitations but he's what we have that is different. I'd love to see lightning pace instead but we don't have it. Id love to see a six foot four CM who can run like Reference Point too but we don't have one. However, he's a Sheffield Wednesday player and he goes on to the pitch EVERY single time with my best wishes for a safe and effective game. Anything less and I may as well support the opposition.

Gnarwolf Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I'm in the boat of not loving but not hating Nuhiu like Hootie, like the majority have said; he has his positives and negatives that he offers to the team, he's one of the most genuine people at the club and he's a good professional. I would also much rather him come on for us than against us for the last 15 minutes of a tough match. However, the debates he causes just bring out the worst in our fans, for that reason alone I kind of hope he goes this January/next summer. I wonder who the next scapegoat will be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HirstWhoScoredIt Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) I always cheer him. I never boo him. He tries his hardest. But He's f00kin useless. End of. Edited September 27, 2016 by HirstWhoScoredIt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HirstWhoScoredIt Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) His shooting accuracy is less than our other strikers. This year he has hit the target on 30% of occasions. Last season 36% of the time. Managing to be at 40% for such a prolonged period is a remarkable stat for a forward. Hooper was on 56% last season and 78% this season. Forestieri is on 50% and was on 52% last season. He has scored 3 goals in his last 51 appearances. 11 goals in his last 93 appearances. WOW! "But that's not what he is on the pitch for I hear you say. He wins his headers and holds the ball up"! DOES HE????? He gives our ball away more than our other strikers - a passing accuracy of just 58%! Fletcher 66%, Hooper 88%, Forestieri 78%. He wins less one on one battles than our other strikers. He wins 47% of his one on one duels. Hooper is on 55%. Fletcher is on 50%. Forestieri is on 57%. He is slow. He can't move. His finishing is awful. He is rubbish in the air. He gives the ball away with ridiculous ease. He never scores. But - he tries hard. Edited September 27, 2016 by HirstWhoScoredIt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Clapper Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Many of you will hound Big Dave out of the club eventually, that much is clear. Don't whine about no "Plan B" and us being "one-dimensional" when it happens, will you? Most of you are clueless about squad dynamics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
