kyle mccabe Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Played some good stuff tonight with these two linking up great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I thought Vydra played well. But I thought it was him linking with the wingers that produced the better stuff. Didn't think Nugent had a particularly good game. He was alright. The key here was that Vydra took up positions between the defence and midfield opponents. A position no midfielder has taken up since 2015. All our best play came through finding him there and him turning. Didn't think Nugent had much to do but chase and battle. This is the same system that showed promise when Rowett first tried it. Then he dropped Vydra and the system. Let's just hope he tries to develop this system. We can't afford to give the ball away as cheaply as we did tonight. We need to pick our attacks better. Too much kick and chase for long periods.

mwram1973 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Linked up well, hope GR sticks to the system now as we'll only get better if he does, especially with tom coming in. My worry is can Nuge play week in week out?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDerbySuperRams Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Vydra put that performance in off 1 days training and an empty pre season. Brilliant. All the quality, just needs a run. Could easily be our best player this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Vydra and Nugent are intelligent, instinctive players who make good decisions. They both need a couple of goals to their name because at the moment we are snatching at chances. Preston are no Wolves and in the same way Saturday didn't make us a bad side, tonight doesn't make us a good one. We are simply a team in transition.

Sexydadbod Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I think Vydra and Nugent should be our starting front 2 for the way Rowett wants to play. Martin didn't do a whole lot when coming on. I feel Vydra feels comfortable playing with Nugent because his runs give Vydra more space to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coneheadjohn Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 First 10 minutes or so of the 2nd half was great,Vydra/Nugent looked a real handful,I wonder what Vydra/Martin would look like? I just don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coneheadjohn Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Just now, DEL said: Vydra/Martin would be decent partnership. I'm not disagreeing DEL but I just don't know. Hopefully we'll get to see it,I thought Nuge was a proper handful tonight,all over the place with those tiny strides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NottsRam77 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 They looked lively didnt quite come off for nugent tonight and he should have buried that cut back but i thought he worked his socks off and was the platform for the performance dont get me wrong im wasnt bouncing out of my seat but i feel in a rowett system nugent is a much much better fit than martin. i like martin... a lot, and when he has players up and around him and he's on song hes as good as anything in this league, but rowett as he said in his interview wanted to stop preston hitting their long balls, ie we had to close down from the front, and we all know that int martins game.

sage Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I thought Vydra did well when working as a second striker but not so much when he had to fulfil the advanced midfielder part of his role. He linked up well with Nugent and the wingers but he gave the ball away 3 times in the first half in midfield which against Wolves would probably resulted in us conceding a goal. Whether he can improve that side of his game remains to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Vydra/nugent/Martin are all very good very experienced forwards who are intelligent in what they do and can all play with each other in a very positive way especially if the midfield can get the ball to them in the correct way. No defensive will want a combination of those three coming at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackNwhites Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I thought he started the game well but that tailed off after about 20 minutes, he made that ridiculous mistake when going backwards and nearly gave them a goal. After that, he disappeared from the game and I don't remember him doing anything of significance except for the shot in the second half. Vydra and Russell will be fighting each other for first team chances this season, as long as Weimann keeps up his good form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night showed what he is capable of and it is now down to GR to get him putting them performances on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m5912 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I think there is room for all 3 nugent martin & vydra. We have a squad loaded with centre halves and not overly creative central midfielders. So I think the the wing back system with 2 strikers and vydra behind would suit us. Huddlestone and another in the midfield (Thorne if ever back to normal would be a dream team) Those 3 up front would be a handful for any in this division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I like Nugent very much but he missed two sitters again which Martin would have been hung,drawn and quartered for... Would prefer to see Martin with vydra where the link up play would be even better...plus Martin's increased lethality over Nugent would have had us three up yesterday. Great we have all three,but they need to be intelligently deployed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
