S72 Owl Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 It almost worked today. He should have put that chance away then the conversation would have been different. His pace does cause problems away from home and I wouldn’t be surprised to see the same team start next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy Nickelarse Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 NML not a striker. Shoulda been on bench today IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have put that chance away then the conversation would have been different Unfortunately, and I think this is the point, he's not a finisher. He's very wasteful in front of goal. Play him instead of Hunt, bring him on late for Hunt but start Berahino. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costello 77 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 He hasn't got the positioning to link play as a striker and he hasn't got the instinct in front of goal of a striker. He's got quality but he's just not a natural up front. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Paterson and Berihino have both scored goals when they’ve started matches recently which makes his decision to play a winger up front with those 2 on the bench even more baffling. We missed so many chances today (NML missed a sitter in the first half) and I can’t help but think that you put two strikers on the pitch from the start and we leave today with 3 points. For me the blame for us dropping points today lies solely with Darren Moore and his bizarre choice of forward line given the options he had. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Its been the same all season, with lots of injuries the team picks it self, when Moore has options he normally gets it wrong. Hunt is not a winger but NML is, Iorfa should have started with Hutch being rested, Berahino should have been up front. We had 21 shot but could only get 5 on target that is very poor. You dont need top corners or spectacular goals in league one, more often than not a shot on target has a 50:50 chance of scoring. we missed a big chance today, a win we are 8 behind Mk Dons with a game in hand and still to play them. Instead we are in the playoffs on goal difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowl Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 NML is great on the wing, play him there or leave him on the bench and bring him on for Hunt or Johnson as they tire. Personally I think he is a better player than Hunt on the right. NML just isn't a striker, he tries but he drifts wide closing down space needed by Hunt or Johnson and that leaves us with 1 up top. Berahino is a bit hot or cold but he's a better option than NML. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnsleyowl1996 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Berahino must start at mk up top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwinowl Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Crystal ball and all that. He’s unlucky with the first chance as his standing foot gives way and he kicks onto it. However that should be top Corner. Berahino should start. He got the lad firing then left him out. Bit baffling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waste of a shirt upfront, goes missing because he’s positionally clueless. May aswell play with 10 and Gregory on his own. How Berahino isn’t getting game with Gregory after scoring a hat trick and us hitting 6 is baffling. . Baffling ? Unfortunately, Moore can be arrogant and stubborn in refusing to make obvious changes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a concern and it would be a tragedy if we missed out due to DM putting square pegs in round holes. There is absolutely no need for it especially when there is Paterson and Berinho who can both play that role a damn site better than NML. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, it looks like he has decided that. Hard to disagree Moore with options is dangerous Forcing favoured players into any position just to get them on the park He’ll never be a striker while I’ve got a hole in me arse 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4evaowl Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 NML is better out wide but he is a threat and does get and create chances when up front, more than SB of CP typically do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexpistol Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I agree that NML is no striker and it seems DM is trying to shoehorn him into the team. Having said all that, most professional footballers would have scored those two chances, the first one especially. That miss was unbelievable and is up there with that Andy Booth miss against Stoke all those years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
