hodgybysea Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Amazing isn't it,the TV and radio guys are saying how effective he is ,Bristol played three centre backs to stop him and the way we play.So they didn't have the numbers going forward to get at us.His link up play earlry on gave us the platform to be on the front foot.Well done Atdhe. PS .I see some of the usual suspects have come out of the woodwork,I'll just remind them we are third with a crap team. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGHERSTATE Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I absolutely love Atdhe...but I don't think he's played well in the last two home games...Looks slower and more clumsy than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hunt Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Thought both him and Rhodes were poor . TBH I don’t think I have seen Atdhe have a good 90 minutes , happy to have him available from the bench but Fletcher is different gravy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikka Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Maybe a nice guy - maybe quite good with the ball at his feet on occasions - but , for a striker, as immobile as any I have ever seen in over 50 years - which makes him easy to mark , and ineffective when out of possession - and , for a striker,he rarely scores , or even gets shots on target. On balance his few good points are far outweighed by his shortcomings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthRustyOwl Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 He's not a goal scorer, he wasn't one before we bought him and he never will be. That isn't what he is in the team for and I still don't get this constant hating. He is in there to do a specific job, that is to bully the opposition defence and try to make space for other as well as flick the ball on for other players. I thought he did that well for the first 25 minutes or so today, and then again the last 15 minutes, but was a bit anonymous in between. I just think that some people expect to see him scoring 20 goals a season, running the channels and outpacing defenders, and clearly that isn't going to happen. Bit he still offers a lot to the team.

Andrew6666 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Hopefully Monk can bring in better. I would hate to think next season Nuhiu is a possible to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 His starts Boro 4-1 Hull 0-1 Leeds 0-0 Swans 2-2 Charlton 3-1 Brentford 2-1 Bristol C 1-0 Four wins, two draws and a single loss from his seven starts...some of you are looking for problems where they don’t exist. If our occasional starter helps us to this sort of record it’s time to be happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlinOldham Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Won a penalty, won plenty of headers today and worked hard up front to at least try and close down a bit when Bristols defenders had the ball. Not even Fletch would have had an easy job doing the latter with the pace and movement that Bristol play with from the back. Not his best game for us and not anywhere near his worst either. Today he was part of a team that ground out 3 big points for us and thats all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weird thing is Dave Jones, Stuart Gray, Carlos, (forget Jos) Lee Bullen, Steve Bruce and now Gary Monk might disagree with you Steve. Edit: not forgetting Bernard Challandes. .

sMacLean Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 He wouldn't normally have started today in fairness and Rhodes will rarely get anything out of partnering him, they stand too far apart anyway. Nuhiu definitely a last 20-30 minute player and useful to have around but was thinking watching the game if only it was someone like Diedhiou behind Fletcher.

But if you want someone to be a a pain in the arse for defenders , win flick on`s , create chances and chip in with a few goals , then there are non better in this division. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tudders Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) Never known a player divide the fan base as much as Nuhiu. Every player in the world makes mistakes-losing the ball, making a bad pass etc in almost every game, but the collective groan of those who don’t appreciate Atdhe is resounding and I feel for the man.It’s a testament to his character that it seems like water off a ducks back. I honestly think if you’ve played the game to a good level then you appreciate how good a player Atdhe is. The fellow pro’s all see it. You see beyond the ‘big lump’ exterior. You see not only the effort but the clever way he plays, the effect he has on the game, not every player is judged by finesse-albeit he has it in his locker. You only have to cast your mind back to when he took it into the corner by the Kop and the south stand that time, turned, beat 4-5 players and bent it into the top corner. That takes ability. Thats not just catching the ball right and it flying into the top corner. We’d be far weaker without him in the squad. Thankfully the praise he gets from his fellow pros and the pride he feels representing his country as an international will no doubt overpower the critics in the stands.

Look how many managers we've had whilst he's been here, can't remember any of them freezing him out. But hey, fans know best. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
