Packman Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 16 minutes ago, Lew-T said: I haven’t seen anything from Adam Nagy to suggest he can dictate play. Apart from his debut, he’s been average at best. I've said this before and Lez said "anyone who can't see nagy is head and shoulders our best player doesn't know anything about football" he then went onto say he was one of the best players in the championship. Bizarre opinion I have to say, I hope nagy gets back to his form from his first couple of games but he's been poor imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curr Avon Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 21 minutes ago, Redtucks said: From where did you get your knowledge of Henriksen's fitness??? Just interested! Henriksen has played 389 minutes of football this season. Over 5 matches, all for Norway in the Euro qualifiers. Zero in the Championship. His last game was on Monday November 18th, 80 days ago. We've sold an ever present and replaced him with a loanee who can't be match fit. Why? And how long until he's ready? Was it worth the risk?

I agree, maybe the injury and feeling homesick took a bit out of him, fingers crossed the new loan signing can get up to speed quickly, because we are looking weak in midfield.

It’s just boring mate, we’ve just watched our team play awful football for the umpteenth time this season. It’s a sort of therapy to come on here and vent frustrations, so to be told constantly that Lee Johnson is a legend after every game of dross gets very tiresome.

Rossi the Robin Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 Starting Wells wouldn’t have made much difference- maybe his class would have given us a bit of luck but midfield yet again was the problem- too slow and sideways lacking creativity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with midfield was, just like first half at QPR, Massengo was playing far too high up the pitch, Eliasson was hugging the touchline waiting in vain for someone to pass to him and Weimann was just doing his road runner routine with no impact - all leaving Korey effectively battling on his own in CM. Major mistake by LJ not to start Wells and ideally Henrickson (if not fit enough Nagy) instead of Massengo against a physically strong Brum midfield.

But it’s far to say we have still been pretty shit during these wins and everyone could see where we needed to optimise tonight. Wells should have started instead of Weimann. Henriksen should have played instead of Massengo. Hopefully we will see these changes come Wednesday. Henriksen probably isn’t match fit or even close hence why Nagy came on. I understand the rationale of why managers don’t change winning teams, but would’ve wanted to see Wells for Weimann too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An interesting admission that we have been over-complicating things a tad? Probably more that Wells is a player we’ve bought in who’s in his prime and probably can’t/doesn’t need to learn much more. We usually bring in players who have development potential who need a fair bit of coaching. Also, Wells is a very instinctive sort of striker and if you overcoach players like him he could overthink and stop doing what he’s good at.

I think 99.9% of fans would totally understand if Wells started ahead of Weimann tonight. It’s a fair comment that we won 4 in a row. But Wells for Weimann was the easiest thing to do to that winning team. Don’t knock Weimann , he’s now on10 for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prinny Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 Man management. 4 game winning streak, you don't change it. Now we lost, expect the changes. It's much easier to justify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 8 hours ago, CHAZ MICHAELS said: Yep, had he changed it then the same people would have spouted on about his 'tombola'. And I agree with you, about Wednesday in that I think Wells will start. I don’t necessarily agree , we are , so say , aiming for top two ! We know that we are not converting enough chances and so bought a championship finisher to propel us to the next level. Of course Famara and Andi give something to the team but clinical strikers they are not . Something had to give and last night was a great time to rest Andi , who had a ‘ dead leg ‘ , and introduce this top finisher that we have coveted for so many years. Big , big , opportunity missed , yet again, last night and the head coach is responsible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good player, a player who was signed when we were looking to consolidate and establish ourselves as championship regulars.....we are now pushing for promotion.....he should not be starting at home, he does not offer enough at home. LJ you've got your signing and you had the chance to be brave and you fluffed it.....you got the man you wanted and he should be starting at home against a poor side.....Weimann wasnt working before so why would it suddenly now. Why sign him? one of the best strikers in the league he may be, but our squad and how we set up are geared nothing to like what he needs and he isn’t going to play a Fammy role. Upfront was never, ever the issue. The midfield has been the issue for months now and we sold our best midfielder in the window. Given how we set up, we score more than enough goals for the play-offs. We are not set up to batter teams. The issue is the, by now, countless mistakes by the midfield/defence, largely induced by an ineffective midfield, Bentley’s inability to catch balls (as is the modern way) and no attacking pattern to our play. So, so bad to watch at home and have been for months and months and months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to hear a journalist ask him why he didn't start Wells this evening. I sometimes wish he could be over-ruled when he makes a stupid decision with his team selection. Would love it if SL could have said to him before the match, "Lee, just had a little butchers at the team sheet, and um, we can all see Weiman has been crap for a few months, and we've just bought you one of the league's most dangerous strikers, so, um, do you think you could put him in the bloody team please ... now?" "Ok, yes boss, no worries, boss," says Lee, tail between his legs. End result? Nakhi Wells, still brimming with confidence, wants to impress his new fans and tears into Birmingham from the off, scoring a couple of goals in the process. Oh well, guess we'll never know. You want SL to start picking the team? Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
