2022/23 Dwight McNeil

[Dixie1sixty]

“Nah lads I wrote him off first, I just have it in me, yano?

“Ahahahaha lad he’s crap and I said it first, no way he becomes a good player and I’ll stand on this hill even when it’s clear I’m wrong, because I am a man child ahahaha lad”

I'd add to this:

"Ahahaha lad I would rather he's crap so I can do I told you so on an internet forum. Norrarsed about him being good for the team"

Why didn't he keep swapping with gray last season the wingers kept swapping

Think at time he tried to push gray and gordon as the two strikers while mcneil was deeper with iwobi and dacoure.

Should’ve stayed on ahead of Gray.

Assume it was a fitness thing as it was basically bang on 60 he took him off.

But yes Gray had a shocker. If only we had a bench with footballers on.

Looked uninterested

Stupid comment

I don’t know what everyone was expecting yesterday, he scored once and had zero assists last season.

He had Vydra and a carthorse from Netherlands up front and was playing in an artful team. What did you expect of him last season?

 

[Nymzee]

Didn't watch but nice to see the knives are out already. Never change, blues.

 

[Wayno]

Stupid comment

Disagree. Was miles off it, was all over the place. Reckon he was terrified personally. Hopefully a one off for his debut but it was literally worse than having 10 men.

A real Rodwell’esque display of hiding.

 

[Zeitgeist]

I thought he looked tidy and threw some tackles in

In a game were both sides did very little

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Aaaaand they’re off

He will be useful when we actually have a striker he can swing balls in to

 

[Martin Alvito]

I think he will be well suited when we play the lesser sides and has a bit more time on the ball, as opposed to on the counter.

Wasn’t a great game, but was hardly our worst.

More or less exactly it. If we have found a player that can be a MOM flat-track-bully from time to time when we have possession, the way he was against Kyiv, we are on to something. This would also explain why he had a poor season at Burnley - no possession and no one to set up when they did have it.

He can move, he seems good on the ball in space, he can cross and he has power in one peg. That's a fine set of attributes at the price paid.

Didn't think he did a lot to be honest and what he did was average at best. Could anybody argue that he was the first sub? First game though in a difficult situation with no strikers etc, which is probably the first game all three of our front three have played without a recognised striker. Hope to see more of him which I'm sure we will with improved performances which I'm sure we will.

Can't judge him much yet but in no way did he play well yesterday, same goes with Gray + Gordon.

 

[Neiler]

No snap judgement, i wasnt a fan of the signing, he was poor yesterday - really poor i thought. But look very early days - i hope he proves me wrong, hes very young.

We need more cutting edge to my my mind though.
