Edit: not forgetting Bernard Challandes. . I take your point Mark, but on that basis we might as well restrict Owlstalk to those of us who have coached at a professional level - not very many I suspect! In our current position I accept he can be a useful squad player, but (in my humble non professional opinion) at the end of this season we should thank him for his services and release him.

CalmJimmers Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Genuinely had a couple of dem blayads fans saying they wouldn't mind him on their team. I'm glad he's on our side, he's taller and stronger than most defenders with the proverbial good feet for a big man. He might be lumbering and struggle to beat my nan in a foot race, but you've always got to think about him as a defender because he can be very effective. Viva la Atdhe.

We can't hammer everyone 4-0 every week you know Sorry but what I saw was two bang average teams, neither looked decent yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obvious decision really. Like for like. The game was ours, no need to change the structure of the team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol came to get a point , they set up to stop us playing , they sat back waiting for a good counter attack that rarely came. Both teams played well.

Guest ka58 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I like Nuhiu - he was poor yesterday mind but ultimately played his part in us winning the game. people are also quick to forget his good performances as well - he was superb against Charlton the other week for example.

Both teams played well. We played well defensively and totally controlled the game. 15 chances is good. Their keeper did well against Reach twice, and their defender kept one out from Palmer’s volley. In a way Im pleased we won the way we won, with a scratchy penalty. We’ve played teams off the park and lost or drawn. Yesterday we scrapped and never shone, but got the points.

No not at all and you are entitled to your opinion absolutely but I do think those coaches I listed may have more a stronger case to judge him then us fans and sadly Steve, he is kind of a scapegoat when he doesnt play well and IIRC Derby away was one of those.

They came and setup anti football - defending almost on their penalty box to nullify the attack We play better when teams come out and actually play some football - we were still the better side by a country mile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWLERTON GHOST Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I reckon if Fletcher had started he'd be nursing some nasty dings from their centre backs now. A good game to leave him at home ... Big lad did what was asked of him .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Nuhiu fantastic... no is he terrible... no he’s a huge strong physical lump that whether you like to admit it or not gives defenders a headache all game. someone has to mark him all game, you can’t leave him be cos for a big lad he’s great with his feet! switch off and he’s past you! Not with blistering pace but once he’s in front of you and shielding you’re gonna struggle to push him off it! He did want monk asked of him which was stay up apart from when defending corners and just be a pain for them and something to worry about! Heard the best thing at the game and shows up some of the geniuses who slate him none stop. about 5 or 6 rows behind me on the north I heard one lad shout "Fücks me off all these people defending Nuhiu... bet they’re all tree hugging remainers!" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the monk Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Still wondering what skill or intent was involved when he "won us the pen" He was running away from goal and a plank decided to do a Nuhiu and give a needless foul away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
