Sith Happens Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Sorry if already discussed, anyone heard if there is any chance for Wednesday? we missed him so much. Not slating Nugent, I thought he tried really hard but was a bit of a thankless task for him, he just seems to have lost the energy his game relied on in the last few months.

Day Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Pulled up in training yesterday, will be assessed over the next couple of days, too early to say if he’ll make it or not https://www.dcfc.co.uk/news/2019/05/we-have-to-have-belief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 If he’s pulled up, he’s back to square one with the injury I guess. Can’t see him even being considered if he’s not 100% All the time he spent on the bench while Marriott kept him out is now all forgotten, he’s injured, bring back Marriott.

Boycie Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Seems we need a big man on the bench as an option for next season. Oh wait, we have Martin for another season, sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I wish Martin was the answer, he'd have been struggling just as much as Nugent today unless the team had pushed forward and got around him. I thought we looked really bright the first ten minutes but once Leeds got hold of the game we just sank in and left Nugent alone and exposed. Marriott would have been likewise. I don't think Frank told his team to do that, but others are saying he was instructing them to - seems odd if that's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 A big target man would be nice for hold up play for situations like yesterday when we are on the back foot. Chris Martin isn’t that type of player, he is more a link player than a target man. I watched spurs v ajax in midweek and Llorente is the reason spurs went through in the end, Lucas scored the hat trick but he wouldn’t have got into those positions if it wasn’t for Llorente’s hold up play as he got the whole team up the pitch. I’ve noticed quite a few times that this season that we like to play long balls, which ends up pointless because our strikers aren’t the tallest. Someone to make it stick up front to get everyone up the pitch would be very nice like a Nuhiu from Sheffield Wednesday, although I doubt they’d sell.

kingsy1884 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 FL was very short in the post match interview regarding Waghorn. Martin is the logical choice for me as a great plan B next season. His hold up play is about all he has. I woulds keep him unless someone come in for a fee then maybe think about selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still scored double figures last season in a side that finished in the bottom half, more than all of our players apart from vydra. He wouldn’t be as a starter, but as a plan ‘b’ in games like yesterday where we are pinned in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Waghorn has done decent at centre forward but I still don’t see that as his role as we need more from that position in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They pull you around and play fast accurate passing through the lines. Press high. Modern game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remy the hare Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 He’s played ok when played, but I don’t really understand why we bought. He isn’t what you call a target man or a link up player and he played out wide when he finally broke into the team. Saying all that he’s the best option we have at the minute.

I don't think Frank told his team to do that, but others are saying he was instructing them to - seems odd if that's true. Martin hasn't shown he's the answer when out on loan. I agree it's sad but I doubt he'd be the answer for us. When Marriott was on fire earlier in the season people were talking about an England call up. We have to put our hope in him for the second leg. Waggy's achilles isn't going to miraculously mend as easily as Keogh's injury did. Probably the wrong thread but it was odd how we suddenly dropped off and went deep following a good start in the first half. And when defending corners didn't even chase out but stayed incredibly deep. I cannot believe it was a deliberate instruction from Frank to suddenly do that, but I can't face the whole matchthread to see if that's what people are genuinely suggesting. I thought we didn't look fit or strong enough or just didn't have enough bravery/desire. Except for Duane Holmes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coneheadjohn Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Martin would have been isolated and out of it but he would have been brilliant at falling over and upsetting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suits the hold up link play stuff but cant do the high press, a hard combo to find. Peak Nugent is the ideal striker for our system, shame hes a touch over the hill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he has struggled this season with our team being so youthful, last season afterall he was practically a yts compared with the rest of the squad.
