  • Nelson .......A Man Reborn

    Just like Lazzarus

    He's playing well and easily looks one of our better players

    We seem OK for centre backs if he continues this form

    Re: Nelson .......A Man Reborn

    Do agree his passing has impressed , when he first came I though we had a goon un with development he would do well , for me against Leeds he was outstanding ,is that because you get more time and there is less pressing as Leeds are a front foot side , in Championship it can be a different gig , to be far he has been through a lot of managers and tactics ..

    Worse defenders I seen recently are Sang , Alnwich , and that dreadful Nkounkou who is fast , flashes of skill but a dreadful defender no discipline to his position , can't head a ball , its everybody's fault defender , good finger pointer though ..

      Sang is a league one player

      Nelson has a bit of class just needs to apply himself

        Yes. Seemed great when he first broke through then went backwards.
        I think it's fair to say some of us may have been a bit one-eyed.

          I think this is more of an indication of the squad Morison has put together rather than anything else... Still, well done Nelson, it can't be easy as the only one who can defend in a back 4.

            I know he wasn't directly responsible but it shows how far we've dropped when we hail the performance of a defender in a game where the back four conceded 5 goals.

              The defence he was part of yesterday got torn to shreds. Against a PL side sure but still, some of the defending was basic mistakes.

              For one of the goals didn't nelson come storming out, realise he could get nowhere near the ball then turn around and watch as the massive space he had left was exploited.

              I don't think he is as bad as has been made out tbh. Although I like NG on the ball he's not a CB for me and will go to RB as Sang isn't a RB.

              So I expect there to be competition to play alongside Kipre from McGuinness (can he even play yet?), Nelson and Simpson.

              Least Nelson can attack the ball well.

                That was Simpson. For the third goal Simpson was pressing in their half, about 40 yards from our back line. God he is terrible.

                  Yeah I'd agree with that. It's not difficult to stand out amongst a pile of manure.

                    I have no idea what anyone sees in Simpson. Why McGuiness was shipped out to make room for him is beyond me.

                      McGuinness has to play Saturday. Hes match fit and needs to be playing not bench warming.

                      Nelson did ok yesterday. Outstanding is really pushing it.

                        There's no way he was outstanding. Just about ok I'd say

                          I think Nelson has been less bad than most of his colleagues in recent games, that’s not to say he’s been good.

                            Simpson has mostly been on the bench.
                            if McGuiness had been here then he would have been on the bench as well, until Romeo got injured most likely.
                            if he wasn't playing then we probably wouldn't have seen the improvement there has reportedly been in McGuiness.

                            it was a good loan move. we have precious few of those so let's not knock it when we do have one

                              Nelson has been out of favour for a while, and a few dodgy performances. But he's looked fairly good in both of the Leeds games, though it may well be a case of him looking good compared to the rest of them. Anyway, I think Nelson and Kipre would make a good pairing at centre back.
