Niels Nkounkou Is Not Up To It

[IanD]

Again another home game where he fails to defend ..

Didn't take long to work out that he's not a defender. So Mark Hudson....where to play him and go three at the back? Or should that be two?

Don't think there's much doubt that Everton have told City he has to start. Bagan can count himself unlucky. May not have the skill or turn of pace that Nkconkou has, but he was a solidish defender and decent going forward for us last year.
Hopefully with this run of games Hudson can rotate the team and give Bagan a chance.
Ps if Romeo still out, put Ng at fullback. Cambell not ready/not good enough.

At Wigan they were just very poor so flattered his performance , and everyone just looks at his forward performances if you don't see the lad live you cannot really judge his overall performances .

Watching him live his last two home games exposed his weakness and poor position choices , he is a defender who cannot head a ball , he gives the ball away trying stupid tricks on the half way line , he looks exciting when going forward ..

Coventry favoured attacking his side and we know why , at times his crossing can look like a wing and a prayer cross doesn't always look up .

Thought Campbell had a less adventurous forward game and a steady and better game ..

Thought overall many were crap as they were in the last home game .

Hudson on Bagan fitness from today's pre-QPR press conference:

"Joel completed 60 minutes in the under-21s fixture with Swansea. He has had a hip issue, so we’ve progressed him. He’s still progressing. Still not quite there yet.

"He is still at the point where if he has a tough day, he maybe needs a lighter day the following day. We’re just managing him to be able to complete the full level of training.

"I spoke to him yesterday and worked on a few things that he can improve on, which we do with every player."
