Loads of our fans didn't rate Carlton Palmer, Lee Chapman, Nigel Worthington, Keith Ellis, John Hickton because they looked clumsy. It's like judging a book by it's cover. I remember Sheridan being booed Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time, I heard some people refer to Hirst as “The Boy Wonder”, some refer to him as having potential or others refer to him as being useless. Hirst then went on to score 68 goals in the next 128 games (better than 1 goal in every two games) and the doubters and those that did not believe in him disappeared (and quite rightly so). Obviously, it’s unfair to compare Nuhiu with Hirst as the latter was far superior then to what the former is now but my point here is that players can change; Hirst found his mojo under Big Ron’s management and continued under Trevor Francis - maybe Jos Luhukay is Nuhiu’s “Big Ron”. I would also say that forwards bring more to games than just goals and those that rate strikers purely on their goal scoring records know little about football in my opinion. Hirst terrorised defenders and made (although not necessarily assisted) goals for teammates. Nuhiu is obviously different to Hirst in style but he too contributes significantly other than scoring and has done in every season he’s played with us with his “back to goal” “hold up” play, “fast feet” and aerial presence; I would hazard a guess that Nuhiu’s assist rate is relatively high also. I really wish we could put the Nuhiu debate to bed and that all Wednesdayites could support him. In our current FFFP situation, we need an in-form Nuhiu more than ever. For the record: I always believed in Hirst and I have and always will believe in Nuhiu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no doubting his recent improvement though and can only be put down to different coaching. Atdhe has to maintain this improvement to win over the few remaining, lets call them doubters, in the coming season. It will be very difficult to dislike one of the league's leading scoreres IF he can keep it up.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However not everyone wants to have a big love in because the big guy banged a few goals in towards the back end of the season and comes across as a nice guy in interviews . Thus far he has been a disappointing signing if you consider his time here collectively . He should be judged on next season when he has all the foundations in place and he isn't playing for a contract. Despite being the player of the season - and a poor season at that- reach still drifts in and out of games and fails to tackle. So there is plenty of room for improvement. Are you sure these players are hated or is it just people expressing reasonable opinions that aren't what some people want to hear. There's a bit of an OT. PC collective on here that don't like constructive criticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash in the Attic Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 And on the subject of the big fella.....I've been a fan of his all the way through his time with us and I don't think he has particularly improved on what ability he had already but have been given a chance to play games with the better players we have now compared to when he regularly started games under SG. Under Carlos people talk about his goal return which is really unfair as he was used to kill off games when we had a lead. Getting the last 15 mins to hold the ball up and run it into the corners and slow the play down... He was rarely sent on to try and score a goal just to waste time which he is really good at too! He has always had good technical ability and you can see that by watching things he did prior to this season but not seen enough as he was used sparingly and as a game killer.... Now hes had the opportunity to have a good run in the side with our better players we are seeing what he is actually capable of but hasn't had the chance to prove... Go on Adthe lad.... keep the moaners quiet!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember it well At the end of his bad run of form, he scored a penalty in front of the kop and most of the team mobbed him, whilst pointing viciously to Wednesdayites on the kop, it may have been against Ipswich, not really sure now But yeah, it's a myth 1 Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.
