Red-Robbo Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Exactly. As long as he scores goals on a reasonably regular basis any criticism of him I had will evaporate. That's his job and we know from the past few seasons he's usually really good at it. Nicky is *cliche alert* a confidence player which is why fertile times for him in front ogf goal come as long spells, followed by droughts. I see a nice spell about to begin.

Unless you were there you can't really know how he played. Let's wait until we get it some info from those who went, to judge how well he played. Personally I would have played Pitman instead of Maynard, but you can't get away from the fact that he scored the winner and right now that is all that matters! So he did his job and well done Nicky.

BITW Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 None of this is needed. Slagging him off in the first place or gloating now that he's played well. Lets just be happy the TEAM have secured a vital 3 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipdawg Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Looked bereft of confidence at first but tried his heart out and got better as the game went on. I hold my hands up and say the I was calling for Pitman about 10 min before he scored. In patches we played brilliant football though. Fontaine, McGivern, Albert and Cisse were immense, Woolford was good in patches. Kilkenny was the man though, playing in a free role, everything went through him. Confidence will grow from that performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confidence will grow from that performance I don't understand why he can't replicate that form at Ashton Gate, because Killkenny has been terrible at home this season. What chance that Elliot's undroppable status is forgotten now Cisse has regained his place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Tansley Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Cisse was very good today and Elliott put a shift in. Dilemmas for Del... Another Dilemma I suppose is the formation, Would you say it had enough going forward and ball retention to work at home? Or do we need the second striker? I'm still interested to see how much it changes from Millen's time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipdawg Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 It worked well, though at times we played very deep. A better team than Barnsley might have done some damage, but horses for courses and all that. With Adomah, killa, Maynard and woolford linked up well so if they can keep that going I think the formation can work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangotsfield Red Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 It's a good start from Del and pleasing that he seems to be playing people in their natural positions. It's early days though! As for the OP, I think he sums up the mentality of some on this forum who seem to take pleasure in knocking Maynard. Unbelievable...

wayne allisons tongues Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Maynard played really well, ran all game and a few times stole the ball off their defender and when we attacked and didn't get back in numbers was helping cover the gaps.

Lew - T Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 what more could you possibly ask for a striker? Score a goal and assist the other! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BournemouthRed Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 What is without doubt is that Maynard today was involved regardless of whether or not he should have scored more goals. In recent games he has basically been anonymous but today he led the line well, ably supported by Adomah and the rest of the midfield. The goals will come for him if we - and he - continue playing as they did today. What will be interesting is what happens in January. I doubt McInnes will be able to persuade NM to sign a new deal so one would assume we'll try and sell him. It's up to him if he takes the option.

mindjuicer Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Nicky is *cliche alert* a confidence player which is why fertile times for him in front ogf goal come as long spells, followed by droughts. I see a nice spell about to begin. I never saw Nicky lacking confidence unlike the rest of the team. I could say he was lacking a Golden touch but that's fairly meaningless. When he's scoring, sometimes the ball just falls for him and sometimes it's just that he hits it perfectly. It's one of those inexplicable things. But when he has it he has it. I don't remember him ever scoring one then going on another drought. What's the betting odds on us staying up now? Might be worth a punt. He's always missed sitters.

italian dave Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Did you go the game bcfc9? If so, was it the same game I was at?. Maynard had a great game today: not only a goal and an assist but worked his socks off for 90 minutes, closing down their defenders, forcing them into early passes, a constant thorn in their side. He got into good positions,made himeself available for some much better service from wide, and the only thing he was lacking today was confidence. Hopefully that goal will help - it certainly meant a lot to him - that was evident - and what would help a bit more would be the sort of support that he got from the City fans at the game today, as opposed to those who seem intent on slagging him off at every opportunity.

Personally, I think the to-ing and fro-ing about a move and the contract shennanigans unsettled him. But that's only a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyfriars red Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Scored one and set one up, cant see any faults in that. Great 3 points today, well done to all involved. Just the boost we needed, now is the time we need to be positive and get behind the gaffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Heard a lot of Maynard criticism in recent weeks without having seen him - but today he was as good as I've seen him for a long while. A striker who hasn't scored in over 2 months is going to be low on confidence, but his overall game was superb and he ran his heart out. That goal will do him the world of good.

Terace Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Nicky played really well and looked sharp. He offered himself better and balls were played to his feet ,His first touch returned where as I believed it had been poor , Damion Stewart style lumps forward were missing from our game so Nicky had chance to be involved all of the game.. Nicky scored 1 made 1 and was unlucky with 3 others chances. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
