Brendo 0 Posted September 24, 2009 Obviously its not good news. But i dont think Nelson is as good as people make out, I think Spillane and even Doc are better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tookie140 0 Posted September 24, 2009 We haven''t exectly played any class teams in those 3 games.Nelson seems to get turned to easily and against a top team like Leeds, we would get punished with players like Beckford. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John 0 Posted September 24, 2009 Have to say that i don''t rate the player, but i rate the Askou-Nelson partnership as the best ones we have in the centre of defence.I hold Spillane in high regard as a player, but i''m yet to be convinced by his performances in defence, and the effectiveness of his partnership with Askou. I believe his tackling, positioning and concentration has been left wanting. We struggle to accomodate those faults (especially with Otsemobor also being in the line-up), and will most probably suffer for it.I think losing Nelson could prove to be of some damage to us unless we bring in a capable loan player to cover his absence (and i don''t think i''m alone in saying that i don''t want us to get back into that habit again).

[^o)][/quote]I think people rate the statistics the team has when he''s playing alongside Askou... Can''t say i''ve witnessed anyone really rate him as a player though....

B-ru 0 Posted September 24, 2009 How come you haven''t changed your Avatar to the cookie monster yet Brandan?To stay on topic... Nelson is better than I first thought in the Col U game, but I hope Lambert can get a erplacement for the lad and someone perhaps for right back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brendo 0 Posted September 24, 2009 Well there you go, B''ru just praised him a bit, and sorry but i really dont have the time, nor can i be bothered to search through old posts to find if people have said hes good. Anyway, why would i lie about people saying Nelson is good? Seems utter tosh if you ask me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham Humphrey 13 Posted September 24, 2009 Sorry, that is one hell of a cop-out.

Having said that I''ve seen far worse from other members...[/quote]I''m guessing that last bit is you having a dig at me, and i''d say my assumption (in the thread you got into a bit of a ''mood'' about) was justified to atleast a degree Graham.The reports certainly didn''t rate Doherty''s performace, and the updates and the scoreline indicated he was coming up short, like he had in the previous 2 or 3 performances before that.As i said before, Doherty has had some very poor performances by his standards this season. The defensive records with him in it are (put politely) dire overall, and if he claims things have gone stale anyway, it''s beginning to get a little tiresome that people continue to stand up for him anyway (even if these assumptions may seem a little ''unfair'' at times).

Graham Humphrey 13 Posted September 24, 2009 Sorry John, that actually was not aimed at you at all, that thought didn''t even occur to me! It was just a general thing about this forum. And this isn''t a Doc thread and I am fed up with them but I agree about his performances this season, and he may well have gone stale and will move on but there''s no point in re-writing history; I will argue against anything that isn''t actually true and anything that gets twisted to suit the views of certain members of this forum (naming no names of course).
