RobArnold10 Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 Jesus wept, guy bags 20 goals in a season and one off game he isn’t possibly the answer. He had the highest conversion rate going into this game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 He's the sort if player that has to score 20 a season as he doesn't offer much else, unlike Fam. But he IS the sort if player that scores 20, so...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviestevieneville Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 Only thing for me was how he tried to finish. Tried smashing the casing off the ball instead of placing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s 30, don’t forget, so unlikely to improve. Let’s hope we can get a system which suits him because it sure as hell isn’t working at the moment.

Let’s hope we can get a system which suits him because it sure as hell isn’t working at the moment. Still has one of the top conversion rates...still scores 20 goals. They can come off his arse for all I care as long as he gets them. Lets be honest as well if he was better than that he’d be a prem regular. We need to wind our expectations in sometimes.

Galway Red Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 At QPR he had a couple of great young wingers who were constantly feeding him with guilt edged chances, he won't get that here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh start next season with a new manager hopefully he clicks . Spot on! He's not been great but QPR had something called a Midfield. But it's the Bristol City way. How many players over the years 'including players of the year prior to coming to us' hit the Ashton turf running like Superman with Kryptonite boot's on. IMO we will never ever get it right. We will never get a BEILSA Manager and we will never get a squad like Leeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 Hasn't he got 5 goals for us? In what would've been a few months? Hard for strikers in a side who don't create much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who’d have thought Glen Murray would score 23 goals to take Brighton to the Prem, when he was 33 and had only scored 19 in the previous 3 years!

Davefevs Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 He makes proactive runs. Need a manager to find a system that takes that into account. Weimann suffers from same problem. As a result Wells had been disappointing and looks like he has no confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuber Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 Is it just me that wouldn't be too upset if we sold him onto QPR if they sell Eze, and broke even? The problem I see is that with the way we play, we've always had a big old unit up top outside of the Reid era, or someone with decent link up play, be it Adebola, Stead, Wilbs, Kodjia, Abraham, Diedhiou, as it gives us a breakout option. Otherwise its been an absolute engine who is a solid finisher i.e. Reid and Baldock. We've also always had solid fullback/wing play to some extent, I.e. Adomah, Bryan, Ayling. It gives us the option to mix it up, press, over top, or into feet. These are club characteristics over the last 20 years, they're fairly consistent. I would never say we've been a possession heavy team, as the only player we've hd to make such systems viable were single season wonders in the form of Hartley and Webster. The issue here is that Wells needs a big unit up top to do the bulk work to make the system viable and retain possession inthe final third. Hanson at Bradford, Hugill at QPR, case studies in particular. The only team Wells has played at lone as a striker was Huddersfield. They near replaced him with Kachunga the season they went up (another player who is a bit of an engine). His best scoring seasons, Huddersfield struggled. It wouldn't surprise me if Wells' link up play was part of that problem. Otherwise why partly replace or rotate your top scorer? I'd be interested in a Hudderfield Town fan's view of Nakhi in that regard for that period from them. Not doubting Nakhi's goalscoring credentials, I just wonder on the inpact attempting to integrate him into any system may have ala JET or Tomlin, namely at Championship level. I feel more and more each season its more about the team than individuals. Leeds being a case in point with Bamford as their top scorer on just 16 and WBA not even having a player on the scoring charts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon bristol Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 Nakhi wells touch and awareness really isn’t great, and if hes snatching at shots like last night then hes offering very little. God i hope fam stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clutton Caveman Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 He is another player who would benefit from Palmer in the side. LJ tried to turn him into a work horse and it has destroyed his confidence If the through passes don't come you stop making the runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's scored 5 for us in the few games he's played while still learning our system, goalscorers tend to miss a lot as they're good at getting into scoring positions so have more shots, Tammy was the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
