This is said with tongue firmly in cheek i presume...

You wait until Mick unleashes his latest tactical innovation - Curtis will form part of a sturdy back 7!

Nelson will have a couple of good games, get his bollocks in front of a few open goals, score a 93rd minute winner, and this place will go into ****ing meltdown, with Soviet levels of Revisionism-It's the way.

And that's before he scores a 96th minute winner with his bollocks against us!

Re: Nelson to Blackpool?

Stepped up his game recently maybe his contract was running down?

Doesn't his contract finish at the end of the season, so now is our last chance to get anything for him?

Blackpool offered £600,000 to Hearts for Toby Sibbick, which was rejected , perhaps they will offer a small fee for Nelson , but more than likely City will probably cancel his contract.

Re: Nelson to Blackpool?

With a good partner, he's a decent player, though he can get caught out sometimes. Still, if we can get a few bob for him, fine, but it does seem odd to sell him to a rival.

Re: Nelson to Blackpool?

Nelson said he will always keep an eye out for the City's results.

Re: Nelson to Blackpool?

Useful is a lot better than was said before.

All based on two games in the cup where we conceded a total of 7 goals. If he is useful I'd hate to see what a useless defender looked like.

You are right that some people were rubbishing Nelson earlier in the season (and some are still doing it) but not everyone dumps on our players like that. There is sometimes the mob mentality of hyperactive three year olds when someone decides on the next player to get the 'crap', League 1, or 'waste of space' treatment and the like minded pile in.

In previous threads about Nelson - even after that car crash of a start to his season - there were a good number of posters who were able to give a more rounded view. We all know what he is not good at, but we have also seen him doing a very effective job at the back in recent years and picking up a few MOMs on the way.

He is no Beckenbaur, but he usually (some recent howlers but they are not the norm) defends competently, and when he was in the mix with Morrison and Flint it was Nelson who had the legs and worked non-stop to cover for them. He has limitations but is a very useful squad player, even if never 'flavour of the month'. I can see the sense for the club and player in a move this month, but the team will be weaker for it.

Eh?
Morrison carried Nelson for sure.
Without Sean Morrison, Nelson looked way out of his depth.
What games were you watching?
As the saying goes, one swallow does not make a Spring...
Nelson's top performances, over many years with us, could easily be counted on less than ten digits!

Re: Nelson to Blackpool?

I don't think it has anything to do with a group mentality, or someone being singled out.
Nelson, like a number of other players in the squad add very little.
It's not there fault, it's not like there not trying (Sawyers being the exception) but Whyte, Harris, Simpson, Nelson offer us nothing.
I'd have rather kept Sean Morrison than either Simpson and Nelson.
You could add the reserve keeper to that list as well.
Along with Ojo
Simply put we need better

Absolutely.
We've been carrying league one players for a number of years. The likes of Harris, Nelson, Whyte immediately spring to mind.
Then you have signings like Ojo and Simpson ffs....
God, I yearn for the DJ days of smart signings from bigger clubs like Chops, Whitts, Bothroyd etc...

Of course we all want better. Need better if you like.

But I really struggle with X Y and Z 'offer us nothing' type comments. Harris, Ojo and Nelson all have strengths and abilities - and have played a lot of games for us because of that. They can all be criticised, they all have weaknesses , and we would all like to see better, but why do we have to end up with a binary choice of either stardust or shit.

Most players are somewhere in the middle, and a lot of them could do a consistently better job in my opinion with more effective team leadership and coaching (on the pitch and in their heads).
