Thought we might want some positives, or perhaps not, but I thought Sam Nombe looked good on Saturday - he and BTA seemed to have (almost) an understanding and I was convinced they were going to link up and score. I think I'm becoming more confident in him than BTA - BTA seems to be good at running around and causing problems but not finishing or being strong, Nombe has great pace and was exciting to watch for me.
Also think Muirhead has looked good the last few times we've seen him play.
McGrandles has been good of late although didn't think he was great on Saturday. Wasn't convinced by Wooton as man of the match.
Gilbey I thought has shown real fighting spirit of late and I'm glad we have him as captain.
Pawlett and Chuks not so much the last few matches for me.
Sorry this has turned into a bit of a match review comments but just meant to make positive noises about Nombe particularly.
Amazing how we all have different opinions I think Muirhead has been total pants in the last couple of games - only thing he did sat was a long range shot
His biggest weakness is that he is always caught on his heels - he never anticipates a ball coming to him - QPR was a classic a couple of times he was flatfooted by a ball that had he been on the half turn ready to go he would of got to the ball - the worrying thing is this is partly instinct and hard to teach but lets give him time !!!
Other than the shot you mentioned, he did swing a couple of cracking crosses in. His delivery can be very good, but the other aspects you mention overshadow these good points. Plus....he's not as quick as Neilson seemed to suggest when he first arrived.
