Dave78 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I still think Nuhiu could be a useful sub in some games. I know he rarely scores but he brought the best out of Hooper last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If dave misses the header fletcher missed on Tuesday, the whole front page of OT is filled with threads about it. Fletcher gets one or two. Tuesday would've suited nuhiu better than fletcher. I'm also convinced fletcher can't click with nando, winnall or Rhodes, so if one of him or dave gets brought on - I'd give dave the nod I said that about that miss immediately after it happened. I don't think he won an aerial battle either. Rhodes times his headers to perfection, that one on the half way line where it looked as though he'd got no chance but still won it to set Winnall free down the left was excellent. I'd still look to the Rhodes/Winnall partnership to start but have Adthe coming on before Fletcher, at the moment. But, I hope Fletcher can revive his early season form 'cos we'll need everyone on top form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saf Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 It's a cracking header. Can see why we (some) think he can play football. I still think he shrinks when he jumps for a ball. Maybe he's returning to a happy hunting ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cammy Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I honestly think Rhodes feeding off the balls big Dave wins might be an option for us - especially against teams that park the bus. If we can't play past em, lets batter em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 3:30 in the video. #thenightmarereturns Collectors item too from the big fella, beating his man to the front post and a powerful header!! That miss after the penalty by Heskey was horrendous. Did you notice that a certain Barry Bannan was on Villa's bench? 'TheNightmareReturns' was on a banner wasn't it so Atdhe may be playing games with this.

Anyone who went to Preston away will be alarmed at your thought process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were we resorting to lumping the ball forward Rocket? That's our big downfall when either Fletcher or Nuhiu go on, it's too easy just to launch it instead of looking for passes on the ground.

WalthamOwl Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) Surely only a place on the bench at best. If he is starting I can imagine CC won't be very happy with him giving away early team news! Edited March 11, 2017 by WalthamOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethel The Tree Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I'm a fan and I'll happily admit it I think Atdhe is great with the ball at his feet The problems when the ball is in the air aren't of his own making IMO Referees are too quick to penalize him for a challenge, and yet think he's big enough to take whatever punishment opposing defenders dish out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the blinkers off. He's nowhere near good enough, gives away far too many freekicks and is way too slow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) Maybe he has learnt to jump while he has been out. That would be a start. I really can't see him starting ahead of Winnall or Fletcher if they are both fit. Edited March 11, 2017 by WalthamOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
