That we spent millions on fees and wages to acquire the likes of fletcher, rhodes, winnall is madness if that money had been spent ensuring fox was not a first team players and improving on wallace and loovens we'd have been promoted last year. That's not what supporters were saying at the time. The consensus was that Nuhiu wasn't good enough. Fletcher was considered a good upgrade on him and in my view he has been a good player when fit. He was instrumental in getting us to the play offs last year with his goals in the run in. I agree he's injured a lot and his wages are too high but that aside he's done ok. I'm inclined to give all our players a pass on their injury record over the last 3 years. If Hutch's comments about being out for 2 months then training for 2 days and then starting a game on the 3rd day are true, I've no reason to doubt him, then it's not surprising we have been plagued by injuries. Let's see how many injuries we have next year under Jos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only question is if Forestieri or any of the other Strikers are good enough to take Joao's place. We're on our way back. If FF was fit and ready now, we'd be set up completely different with Joao and FF just behind Dave. FF to the left and Joao to the right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Personally hope Rhodes stays and proves his worth. A strike force of Hooper, Joao, FF, Winnall and Rhodes could be pretty decent next season imo. Possibly just missing a big powerful beast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthowl Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Even without the goals yesterday, Nuhiu showed what half the fan base have been seeing all along in his all round play. But yesterday he added the goals that the other half think are essential for a forward to be regarded as anywhere near decent. So finally, I think we can all agree on Nuhiu MotM and a 9 or 10 out of 10 performance. I've always been a fan, but whilst yesterday's performance, and recent decent performances make him a certain starter for the next few game (rest and rotation aside) he has a long way to go to be first on the team sheet in August with a fully fit squad. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could devise a few options like that it would be a big help, if not just beating the first man would be a start. I find it surprising that teams don't have similar routines more often. Two simple passes and the ball was with their centre forward, behind the defenders in the wall and well away from the defenders at the back post. One on one with the keeper, easier to score than miss. Credit to Wildsmith, but a perfect freekick routine was let down by atrocious finishing. Reminded me of our free kicks under big Ron with Worthington running down the side. Not the move, as such, but the variation, simplicity and effectiveness. I reckon it'll get them a few goals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been saying for 3 years we should get shut!!! Him and Joao frankly have stopped us going down pal, he's earnt a 1 year deal. Will cost us 4x less a wage than Rhodes who for no fault of his is the reason we are fighting against FFP. No brainer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S36 OWL Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 When you listen to opposition managers Dave is the one who gives them the most headaches because he is such an awkward , big unit. There isnt anyone else like him in this division. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A E Neuman NYowl Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Didn't go yesterday but by all accounts Nuhiu had another a stormer. I wrote on this message board that he was unplayable against Reading an absolute beast of a performance. But he is the one player who suffers the most by petty refereeing, some referees just penalise him because if his size and iwhen you get one of those refs Nuhiu doesn't stand a chance. Not sue sue he is good enough to be a starter every week, but what a sub and squad player to have. Rate him higher than Fletcher and Rhodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope so, if we could loan him out even at half wages we’ll probably cut our losses by a million a year (or around £2 a game of every supporters ticket price) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah for next season I’d go with hooper joao FF and a new young pacy striker nuhiu rhodes can’t go soon enough, fletcher can take or leave, but preferably leave due to his inflated wages Edited March 18, 2018 by FreshOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
