THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

I've always been quite disappointed with Nemane with the way he all too often doesn't chase down balls and at times not committing himself. Not to mention the poor deliveries. He did have quite a good game on Saturday though, but his season doesn't cut it.

His body movement (the way he holds his hands, etc) reminds me a bit of Sterling, but with a lot less pace.

I didn't think Nemane had a bad game, but yeah he definitely wasn't MoTM.

I thought it was a big risk to take White, Evans and Crowley off. Given the importance of the game, it's probably not sub's I'd have made but we came through it unscaffed.

I thought Williams looked a mess when he came on. His first bit of action was to get dispossessed and allow them to attack. With Kelly, the one thing that really irked me was the ball fell to him in the middle of our half and he just booted it away. No composure at all and instilled a nervousness amongst the team in my opinion.

Plus we went all static when the subs took place. Very little movement and very predictable.

There is a lesson there.

Nemane is a bit of a one trick pony. Granted he's pretty good at it at times and I think he saw success at the start of the season where he regularly got in behind and got assists. Teams have cottoned on a bit more now, along with the general form of the team nosediving.

Nemane and Crowley do seem to link up well, they did get a lot of goal contributions between them at Notts.

I don't understand why he doesn't cross it in sooner....when he does it's often creating chances but to often he waits and gets really dispossessed

Williams is a terrible player. He was absolutely shocking when he came on bar two or three headers in injury time.
Kelly has talent but didn’t look like he wanted to be there on Saturday. It’s hard to read from a distance but I didn’t like his body language at all when preparing and coming on. Again I might be reading too much into it but I have a feeling we won’t see him again for a while.

Not sure why some folk are hitting on Nemane, at least he tries to be positive, he will go forward and put in crosses, links brilliantly with Crowley, yes he makes errors, but who doesn’t in this team?

I thought he was quite bright on Saturday, looked lively and was one of our better performers, perhaps not MOM I’d have given that to Offord, but nevertheless he wasn’t bad at all.

The team played better as a whole, but bigger tests await, I’m just hoping now they have a win in their pocket it might spur them on to get another

Name is the new Daniel Powell.
Good in a 1v1 situation, often gets double covered with another player stopping him from being able to run in behind, and absolutely splits opinions. Only difference is Nemane then puts in a good pass rather than somehow getting a shot away.
My reaction to him is the same as my reaction to Daniel Powell. When he's being doubled up on, that's not an issue if he's then less effective, because the rest of the outfield is now in theory 9 vs 8, so they should be taking advantage rather than moaning that Nemane can't beat two people.

Who would win in a heading keepy uppy competition though. I reckon Nemane.
