gypsyowl Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 all he did there was go for power & hope for the best, he was unlucky that didn't go in, Rhodes wouldn't have even been in that position Big lad had a decent game last neyt 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emilianenko Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) Why do team mates pass to Nuhiu but not Rhodes? Jealousy of his salary? Edited March 7, 2018 by Emilianenko 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N0rtherner Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I'd say he had about 1/3 shot at scoring... their defender blocking a third, keeper blocking the middle third and Nuhiu has open shot to the left. He has to take a shot coming in on volley and get past a blocking foot and a keeper who has his eyes only set on Nuhiu's shot, and consequently proceeded to save the shot with his face But damn, sooooo close... just our luck these days...

Ever the pessimist Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Hit it too well. Played reasonably overall. I desperately wanted Rhodes to work but last night he went hiding - standing behind his markers, making 'runs' that were not possible to find. Even seemed to clear the ball from our corner that could well have been running to Fox at the back post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s6 owl Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Nuhiu was probably our best player last night but all he had to there was show a bit of composure, Gary Hooper would have just slotted that in on the volley. the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxine Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 It went straight into the keepers face, he had a good game I thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarn owl Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 It is no shock when Nuhiu doesn't finish a chance as he doesn't finish a chance 99% of the time. But to be fair he was unlucky with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A E Neuman NYowl Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Hooper may well have scored but at the moment like FF and Fletcher he is no good as he is injured. Until some of the injured strikers are fit we have to go with the 2 best strikers that are fit, Joao and Nuhiu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramone Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Should have scored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malkmus Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 He made too good of a connection. Bit of a scuff and it would have gone in. Having said that knowing our players he would have probably pulled it wide and we would have been all been sat with our heads in our hands.

Nuhiu did OK last night but Joao was the best player as he actually did show composure and skill to take his goal. He could also have had a penalty as I think both players clipped him and I don't think either touched the ball. Just remembered he had a good chance from a similar distance at 1-0 on Saturday. He had more time but showed even less composure and blazed it over the bar. Edited March 7, 2018 by the mighty wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do pass to him but he is either muscled off the ball or is not quick enough to beat a defender to it when the ball is played through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't like saying it but if he were the same age as Loovens I would be calling for him to retire too. Something is seriously wrong with him. He has never been fast but he is so slow compared to how I remember him before coming to us. I thought he had sharpened up a little in the Cardiff game when he combined with Joao quite effectively but something still seems badly amiss. It is sad to see.

Jordan has never been what you'd call fleet of foot, but he had speed of thought, he could anticipate a chance and be on the move before anyone else around him had seen it. Unfortunately for us I think karanka and Carlos have killed that part of his game, he not only looks slow, but also reacts too late or not at all. Whether it's some sort of mental fatigue or what I don't know, but he definitely doesn't seem to be spotting an opening before it arises like he used to do.

oldishowl Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Atty won more headers last night than he ever has in one game. Including 3or4 great defensive headers from their in-swinging corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Carlos has confused and regressed a lot of the players quite apart from any fitness issues. Many times we have seen them through this season and last reticent to play forward passes and their first movement is to turn backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultan_Pepper Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 He had a good game, the keeper's face kept that out. Yes more composure would have been good but he hit the target which puts him above most of our strikers this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdan2003 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Thought he was unlucky tbh. Ball came down nicely, but didn’t have much time to think. Perhaps Hooper et al might have had the composure / ability to bring it down and slot it in a corner. I’m glad he took the shot, and in any other game that would’ve gone through the keepers hands. People would’ve moaned if he’d tried to bring it down and slot it away and tackled by the defender in doing so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
