TLF10 4,496 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Did Nmecha ever play for us as a centre forward or did JW mainly use him as a wide forward? Link to post Share on other sites

He was in an awful team last season with bad management, I am sure that this season he could have blossomed or at least probably about the same level as most of players which is about average.

Neverbefore 10,941 Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 Nmecha played Less than 500 minutes for us. Essentially around 5 full matches split over 11 appearances. And with the regime we had, it was really unfair for our fans to judge him like they did. He's done really well since leaving us and I'm very pleased for him that he has! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I reckon if hed of had that same period under Warnock this season and had been as poor then id say i honestly wouldn't want him back at our club for good, but am pleased hes found somewhere hes doing well at and maybe getting that confidence he couldnt get here at the time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

We sign players that do little or nothing while they're here. We ditch them and they go on to flourish at other clubs. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

However for every nmecha we've got a nimely too! What will really annoy me is if Britt and Fletcher go off and score 20 goals next season, given how little an effort we actually put in to playing to their strengths over the last 4 years and the amount of money we invested in them 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Changing Times 12,347 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 A goalkeeper can miss the ball and punch someone in the head and nothing happens but if an outfield player goes anywhere near a goalkeeper and just brushes them it’s a foul 🤦♂️ 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Didn’t a keeper run into his own defender in one of our matches and got the free kick 🤔 Link to post Share on other sites

BoroJake 2,345 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Well that is a dodgy penalty. Soft and looked like it probably should have been a free kick if it was a foul anyway 1 Link to post Share on other sites
