petehinton Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 Well well well Can’t help but think there’d be a 7 page thread on him by now if he’d had as little influence on the last two games as Wells has had. Made up for him. Hold up play was strong again as well. NOT A FOOTBALLER!!!! 7 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you see him down the middle in a three it explains his performances out wide. That’s not him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scare_Man Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 Loving the song for him, so pleased for him to get that goal so soon after that air shot 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRoss Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 Thought he showed great hold up play aswell. He always brings commitment but really happy for him that he's finally off the mark for us. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 I really like the lad. He’s affecting every game he’s in, may be in line for a start before too long (though Nahki is working his balls off centrally tbf). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 Happy for him. Works very hard, clearly better suited centrally. Perhaps gets some unfair flak- his miss Saturday was a very good save as he controlled it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse With No Name Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 I would actually start with him Saturday. We are likely to be under the cosh for large parts of it so his hold up play could be vital if we are to play on the break. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nakhi is on a serious goal drought & at 33 three starts within a week is a big ask. Back to Cornick, fair play to him, still think he can look scruffy at times but he never shortchanges anyone for effort & in recent away games has had a real impact as a sub. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wells occupied both CB last night and won loads in the air against a much bigger player, just because he didn't score doesn't mean he didn't play well. Also his dropping in and linking the play was great 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 I know he's had a couple of games where he's come on and done pretty well, but last night I thought he did everything really well. Doesn't have Wells speed, but man he's made some great challenges and can be a real pest . Specially as the defence tires and they want that extra second thinking time . Took his goal well too. I said I hope to be proven wrong about him and with luck that goal will spur him on and he'll do just that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the ultimate team player (listen to his interview too) - must be a Manager’s dream. Really pleased for him and I hope that it is the first of many this season. Ironically given the discussion re his WBA chance, I think the defender got a touch/partial block which helped it go in - about time Cornick had the rub of the green though.

Just sayif that’s the difference in lens that some will have for him vs Cornick. Felt like he could have a 10/10 without scoring and still would get battered, ala an 8 page thread about a great goalkeeping save on Saturday!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 23 minutes ago, MarcusX said: Glad someone else has seen this, I thought wells has been very good in his link up play Yep, been excellent in our last 3-4 games. Last night he didn’t even get a chance / shot, everything fell to everyone else. I guess the ball coming back off the post on Saturday sums up his luck in front of goal. Needs one to go off his arse. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but I can't see the logic in that statement, Wells was superb again last night, my brother who was up from Plymouth said to me how well he was leading the line and the press. He and Matty James used their experience to the maximum effect in both games. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made up for him. Hold up play was strong again as well. NOT A FOOTBALLER!!!! Wells has been outstanding the last two games, worked his socks off and linked up play fantastically. Regarding Cornick, he done well at times when he came on yesterday. Let’s not get too excited though! A few mins before his goal he had a complete swing and a miss from a cross when all he had to do is side foot it. As for the goal itself, I think we may have been talking about another “miss” if it were not for the huge deflection from the defender on the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he starts Saturday If we were playing with 2 strikers, Wells is one of the 1st names on the team sheet. But Wells isn't a lone striker. Neither is Cornick, but Cornick is more of one than Wells. I would actually like to see them both play in a 2 together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) Wells is a mare to play against, he stretches defenses and moves allowing others to fill space. Wells job is as a forward not just to score goals! Edited September 20, 2023 by REDOXO 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume this too… but when I watch all the in season behind-the-scenes footage - plus pre-season - Nakhi always seems to be posting the biggest/fastest/strongest numbers. He comes across like an absolute athlete. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
