chinapig Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 Let's face it most press conferences with most managers are bland and full of cliches. Not really worth bothering with much of the time. In contrast in this latest one Nigel gives intelligent, articulate, interesting and insightful answers. An impressive man on top form. 6 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also can’t play Massengo in midfield again after that Saturday… Klose comes in at CB, either move King into CM with Scott or we go Joe Williams and Scott. I reckon he’ll go for the latter. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Nige will go: Bents Vyner Klose Atkinson Sykes Williams Scott Dasilva WSM Martin and Klose gives us better capability at set-pieces too (at both ends of the pitch).

AshtonRobin21 Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 @Davefevs I think you might be right RE: Massengo. He was presented with a perfect opportunity to claim a place in the starting 11, and both games passed him by. He looks too slow in possession, and often misses opportunities to play the ball forward quickly. Kadji looked to try and get in the game on Saturday, and in my opinion deserves a place on the bench ahead of HNM currently. Massengo could be a very good player. But I get so frustrated waiting for him to regularly put in performances like he showed against Preston (away) last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Hadwin’s very much under rated as an interviewer. Of the local BBC reporters, he has be far and away the best rapport with Pearson.

I don’t think Kadji deserves a place over Han, Han was decent enough v Cov last week, but I’ve just got a hunch he might reward Kadji. 12 minutes ago, The Journalist said: Ed Hadwin’s very much under rated as an interviewer.

I know I keep repeating it but Nige is a proper manager. We’re lucky to have him. Compare his pressers to any of our previous managers within the last 20 odd years and he’s head and shoulders above them all. He definitely is an impressive guy and manager.

I can understand the rationale behind Martin starting but I hope he doesn’t. I just find the guy so slow and pedestrian, and we get even sloppier and just end up pumping long balls forward. That will play right into Preston’s hand if we do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliOTIB Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) I personally would love a Bajic start. My team: Bajic Vyner Klose Atkinson Scott Williams Massengo Dasilva Weimann Semenyo Conway Personally believe that Sykes needs a rest after poor performances and Scott filled the role against Cardiff well, and looked poor in midfield against Brum.

marcofisher Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 Would love to see Weimann pushed out and Scott pushed into the 10 role behind two of Semenyo/Wells/Conway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Dave but that midfield plus Massengo is one of the reasons why we are shedding so many goals. Alec Scott is the exception in that he does do his share of defending but he should be the fourth attacker, from midfield. The other three are almost useless as defenders, especially the two wing backs. Apart from Naismith's clangers, the back three do a reasonably good job but they are all left with a huge defensive problem by the midfield in front of them. We need to play with two full backs who can attack rather than two attackers who are not very good at defending. Plus a keeper who can deal with crosses in the six yard area! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
