Nelson .......A Man Reborn

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

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

The problem for me is consistency.
He'll have a decent game here and there but he's never outstanding and he falters far too much.
The only time he looked decent for any period of time was when Sean Morrison was basically carrying him.

I wouldn't be too bothered if we let Nelson go to be honest.

We are not in a position to go trawling through the leagues and if we include Nelson we should be OK at centre back

Right back , couple in the middle and a big lump up front is what we need

Presume this is a typo and you mean a left back. That being said, I'm not so sure we do with McGuinness back, can just move Ng to left back. The latter two positions though, desperately needed.

I would keep odowda at left back , ng right back

Surely that's our best attacking player on the season so far completely wasted, would rather he be part of a front 3 with Robinson and Davies/Philogene unless we get a big man to pair with Robinson, in which case O'Dowda back into a midfield 4.

I worry about the flanks and he keeps things steady

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

We've all just chosen to ignore the mess that was the end of the Wigan game then, where he left his man to get beat on a header and that player scored from two yards out then?

I think it's how crap we've been and how we've gone away from passing it around at the back that makes him look like he's been decent. He was the best out of a terrible bunch that got 5 shipped on them and could have been double that. I'd have him above Simpson, but he's not Championship level IMO.

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

CN was a regular in his first two seasons at the CCS when we finished 5th and 8th. I noticed early on that his passing wasn’t very good but that he was very nimble, strong, pretty fast and his positioning was ok. Imho he’s our best non-loanee defender, but the best of a bad bunch. Even if he’s third choice behind Kipré and McGuinness he’s not a bad back-up to have.

As for last night we played a Premier League team away, fielded a team missing a lot of first choices, went a goal down (scored by a current Italy international) after 26 seconds, and conceded further goals scored by Spain international and England international players!
And we still managed to make the scoreline semi-respectable!

I think a lot of the moaners on CCMB need to put this result in perspective.

I don't share your overall optimism but I agree about Nelson
