BCFC1512 Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 So strong today and some of the headers he won!! Wow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out of his pie crust Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Nahki obviously as a goal scorer earlier in the career wants to bag, his reaction from Wilson’s mid hit cross showed that but I absolutely loved his contribution to the team today, got up early for headers (hang time) on a number of occasions, work rate assist. Cog in a team playing well … 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NcnsBcfc Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Classic case of what RG refered to in the Summer as getting "£s on the pitch". Wells has been an excellent player throughout his career. But to be fair we haven't as a team utilised those skills effectively. He will not be short of offers at the end of his contract, and I saw in the second half of the Luton game a willingness to come short/hold onto the ball/much better work rate that I have previously seen from him(wasn't at the game today as on Hols). From a perspective of missing Semenyeo, and Martin only looking half fit; in the new WCW formation, we look to have some fluidity in our forward line again. Well done to the coaching staff on this one, and of course Wells & Conway in particular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His outside foot isn't bad at all, and it gives him an option to to cut inside. Think Morison was just trying to switch it up trying to be clever, but ended up not allowing their forward players to get into a rythem.

cidercity1987 Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 I thought he was man of the match. Leading by example with all the young uns around him and has picked up a few assists lately. I can see why he so pissed off that Wilson shanked the square ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Rizzle Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Outstanding today. Thought he deserved a goal and MOM. So refreshing not ‘having’ to play with a target man. Nahki and TC definitely putting themselves about. Well done, both. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brady bunch Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 My MOM today, deserves a run in the side , he’s lively, positive, and is probably the best crosser of the ball we have. His main issues is he misses a few too many and his decision making and all round play is probably not championship standard. Not a problem when banging in goals, but Martin or a another will always come in when he is not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Outstanding performance. Said earlier in the week a top professional - despite his public demeanour. Banged on for years about the need for partnerships in a team. At last, forged in the Under-23’s and the training pitch, the Wells/Conway axis is happening. Brilliant to watch them, their pressing in particular is top quality, a real joy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to hear him get the reception his mediocrity and move to Cardiff deserved. As for Nahki, he’s been a revelation this season, like a new player; or perhaps the player we thought we’d signed.

It's basic common sense to ask someone for help when they aren't sure what they are doing. But if you feel that asking for help deserves insulating, that says more about you than anything else. OK, I found the site capology (thanks). You said earlier "Yep..........that's what 22k a week" but capology says Wells is on £15,192. It also says Semenyo is only on £2500 a week, yet George Tanner is on nearly £6k a week. Are you sure these sites know what they are taking about? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westred1 Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Kipre hated every second of dealing with Wells today. And Conway for that matter. He was quality.

That imho is down to Nige and the coaches,plus the players buying into working hard for the team . The LJ/MA days are slowly coming to an end. To be fair O’Dowda did. more today in one game than most seasons.He didn’t run up to half line and then turn around and run back at full pace once! coyr I think the Cardiff defender was really expecting Nahki to switch back into his right foot. Conway standing still (remember my previous comments re Le Tissier?) bought him 3-4 yards of space, coupled with Nahki’s cross meant he got his head to it. Really was a top-striker’s header. So chuffed for him. 4 hours ago, Engvall’s Splinter said: O’Dowda fully justified NP’s decision to move him on today. Pretty non-existent. Typified the majority of his time here. Can’t say I was a fan of O’Dowda, just didn’t think he was anywhere near as good as a the view of couple of posters on here (one now on twitter)…but I didn’t think he was crap. Today felt like a pretty usual performance, couple of runs that looked threatening, coupled with several runs without the ball where he made sure he didn’t have to make a challenge. Whatever he goes on to achieve at Cardiff, for Bristol City it was the right decision. 1 hour ago, westred1 said: Kipre hated every second of dealing with Wells today. And Conway for that matter.

Small point to note, Kipre started at LCB2 (Ng at RCB2), and Bentley hit three balls right down his throat at the start. Then Bagan went off “concussed” (hence the 4th sub event) and Ng went to LB, Simpson came on at LCB2, with Kipre RCB2. Simpson nowhere near as dominant. Brntley did kick to Atkinson/ Dasilva a few times too, but the straight ball was towards their LCB2, and both Wells and Conway won their fair share.

Fontaineofallknowledge Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Actually think he's better at holding up the ball than Chris Martin-really clever flick ons and the timing of his jumps means he wins more than his fair share.

Nakhi was still pissed off about not getting the chance of a tap in when he was subbed, so along with looking to waste as much time as possible going off, that was why I don’t think he acknowledged the ovation he was getting.

Yeah, exactly this. He was right to be hacked off after busting a gut all game. not sure what was up with Kane Wilson when he came on but he seemed all over the place. Hopefully it was just rust/ nerves. Could do with a start in the cup to get some minutes in him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BITW Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 6 hours ago, redkev said: Always use to worry when he played against us and quite often would score against us . Think we can all agree and even Nhaki probably agrees it hasn’t been the move he or all of us had hoped for . However credit where it’s due from looking from the outside he seems to be the model professional, helping the youngsters , asking to play for the u23s and still here doing his bit . thought the last 2 games he has been very good . Been here 2.5 years and barely ever been played in his correct position! Been brilliant last two games… I like Martin but the energy offered by NW upfront is not comparable! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His and Conway movements are the reason we have come on in last couple of games,with Weimann also moving we have options for our midfield and with naismiths passing ability it completely changes how we can play,don't dislike Martin but he really is not a starter for the squad we have, great last 15 min sub .we look lightweight in midfield but with movement in front of them they are able to just put it into areas and front 3 make bad passes into good ones.conway gets across defenders in front of them and behind them creating openings. He will probably be gone next Summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eardun Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Wells looks bang in form at the moment - to be fair he hasn’t always looked as sharp as he does at the moment - but if he keeps it up he’ll be keeping his place in the team I’m sure. He’s always been a great finisher and made good runs but I’ve even more impressed with his passing and his overall sharpness in the last couple of games.

Steve Watts Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Goes to show just how professional he is. His desire to get a run of games in the 23's was commendable. And whilst playing there presumably built a good partnership with Young TC and jeez has it shown this past week. They are on such a good wavelength together. You look at it and when Semenyo is back it certainly isn't going to be easy for him to get past these two if they continue in this vein. Knew Tommy would get man of the match, but I too thought Nahki was (just) more deserving. Fantastic from him and long may it continue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely he deserved and should have had a tap in ,it's those things for a striker that they thrive on such a shame he didn't get the goal ge should have had.
