Oh well maybe some of our fans prefer being in League One and giving it the large one at places where there’s almost as many of us as the the home fans. I don't see the relevance. Granted, he was in good form towards the end of that season, but to say he possibly kept us up is some stretch. Just emphasised what he was capable of when on his game. No coincidence at all, given his contract was expiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No coincidence at all, given his contract was expiring. Just out of interest what were you expecting from Nuhiu? The back end of that 17/18 season he only got a run of starts because he was almost the last forward left standing and he finished top scorer. That was the season the clamour for Hirst to be playing started cos we were that short. He formed a very effective partnership with Forestieri, who arguably had his most productive games when alongside Atdhe, and possibly could have done the same with Rhodes or Winnall if Carlos had tried it instead of throwing off the bench to defend corners in the last ten minutes. He was never a striker. He was a centre forward who offered something different to everyone else we had at the time. We rarely played to his strengths. We used him as an isolated outlet to try and hold the ball instead of throwing balls into the box for him to compete for (which ironically happened in that 17/18 run) He's one of those players who did whatever was asked of him while he was here and loved the club, unlike some of the players on here. He didn't steal a wage either, unlike some on here, and he never threw his teddy or refused to play, unlike some players we've come to hold in high esteem. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think his attitude, professionalism and application was as good as people are making out. The dopey **** couldn't even jump for a header. He would have been very dangerous and effective if he could have mastered that simple skill. Not the worst, by any means, but he certainly doesn't deserve the adulation he gets from our fanbase.

And we'd have stayed up last season if he'd still been with us. Still, boo eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrolMong Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I actually think Atdhe was better at things than people realised. But, there was the expectation that because of his size he was only a target man. In that season where he scored a fair few, he played more as a number 9, got on the end of crosses etc. I happen to think he made other players look good, but he suited certain types of players better than others. His biggest weakness was goalscoring, his abilities and his physical presence should have seen him getting 15-20 a season, he only came close to that once. But, I did like him, and I liked him and Joao up top, as well as him and Fessi too. He offered something different to what we had at that time.

Morley Owl Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Patrick Blondeau must go down as one of worst pound for pound signings. Destroyed by Blackburn when losing 7-2 and also managed a red card in his time here when losing 5-2 at home to Derby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who was not Ian Taylor I always thought Whittingham got undue hassle for being played out of position. Oh, and Danny Mayor. For having yellow boots and seeming to think he was on a par with Neymar, but actually being crap. Edited April 23, 2022 by Kaveman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
