Most people agreed he had his uses But theres always a few that will never see this or accept him. He'll never be a highly prolific goalscorer but he'll get the odd important goal every now and then. That enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winnall is a better striker than Nuhiu 100% agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N0rtherner Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 What a joke of a signing, I feel sorry for Winnall and how we ship him out on loans and retain worse strikers here... we can't continue going down the route believing Nuhiu is the key to win games... Winnall alongside Fletcher/Joao could... Hope this rumour is just stupid gossip... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That enough? People were shouted down who didnt daretonuhiu. People are starting to realise now that his 'uses' arent really worth much at 5 pm. He got a few goals when we pushed forward and people raved about him and he got another deal. Fast forward and we have lost Hooper, Winnall, Rhodes since then, even Joao was loaned out and unfortunately we have had to rely on him to play full games at meandering pace due to midfield issues/injuries/tactics. Nuhiu is completely ineffective in these situations and his goal tally, which hes specifically employed for, shows this. A couple recently from 5 yards he struggled to get in the net but goals is goals. I know what hes 'all about' but he should be doing more. Whilst we persist we are going to fall further and further back. Hes a ratio of a goal every 10 hours or something. Never in his career has he been anywhere near prolific. We have had to rely on Reach 30 yarders to get us points this season and that well is drying up. I dont think anyone would take Fletcher, wage and age and medical history. Winnall will probably be the fall guy sadly now he should be up to speed. Nuhiu is a lovely character, like Semedo was but he was another one who needed replacing and we took too a bit too long.

Only one of them is a proven goal scorer at this level the other one has been stealing a wage for the best part of 5 years, I know which one I would be building a future with and it's not the useless Donkey.

Not at any point have we been 'building our future' on him. the signings (since Nuhiu arrived) of S May, Hooper, FF, Matias, Joao, Fletcher, Rhodes, Winnall prove so. Maybe the fact hes been fit while 6 of them 8 have been REGULARLY unfit is more the reason why hes still here, not to mention the uses he has as a sub that the last 6 owls managers have ALL used him in this role. maybe folk know more than the last 6 guys in the job who have all picked him?

If you have no ambition and like to watch the ball bounce off The Donkey week in and week out then I suggest you are easily pleased. I prefer strikers who can actually score goals and offer something to the team other than being the football equivalent of a Speed Hump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigash_swfc Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Think people are avoiding the issue, if we made 20+ chances per game and was missing them all. Then I would agree, Winnall should be an option. But we are not making them chances. It's also quite likely Nuhiu would create a chance for himself or others during his 15min cameos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s also very erratic and better coming off the bench . Why does there always have to another agenda or wise crack . Winnall is a decent player and imo should be given a chance .

stevie snerklebox Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Really not a Nuhiu fan myself but the lad is always fit & available and he offers something that not many other teams have. Winnall is not the answer, he was a panic buy anyway and is still coming back from injury anyway. Send him out to get games and hopefully a £1m fee in the summer.

Well your comment that none of our strikers score other than Winnall is untrue, hence the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right , I’ll start again . Why would the club club want to go rid of winnal as the only natural scorer we have , apart from joao who has scored 8 this season which is a decent enough return , however sometimes he’s erratic and better off the bench , other than joao our only natural goal scorer ... there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
