Perhaps Nesbitt doesn’t pass enough. Wants to take on defenders instead of playing the MK Way.
Or perhaps DM knows all about him and wants to find out about other players before the run-in, for example, see how Cisse plays up the left wing, how pinball Agard does as a target linkman up front, how we cope without Ward at the back.
So, you’re not aware that one of the philosophical foundations upon which DM built his coaching reputation and produced a conveyor belt of exceptional youth talent for us was based upon players taking on their opposite number? Have a read of some of the articles he’s had published over the years. It’s all about the ability to beat a player.
He got booted out of the FA for not buying into their pass and move philosophy.
In all honesty I’ve got no idea why Nesbitt doesn’t get on the pitch.
And I don’t think Agard is a bad player either, it’s just that playing with his back to goal doesn’t seem to be his forte.
