2024/25 Dwight McNeil

[Howards tipple]

A very average player that seems to have gotten better the longer he’s been out. As is often the case with players that have been out a while.

We missed him as soon as he went out.

We missed him as soon as he went out.

Yeah we look like it.

So the less he plays the closer he becomes to prime Messi then.

If we ignore the one footedness, tardiness on the ball, lack of pace, inability to play the ball ahead of someone he can clearly see and focus only on the occasional blammo - he's the best player in the world, right next to Broja.

Literally nobody has said any of this, a few people have said he'd be a useful player and would like to see him available now we're playing more on the front foot. It's hardly a controversial opinion.

People are also saying we’ve massively missed him while citing no evidence.

One of our best players through the dark days of the last couple of seasons yet still gets the dogs abuse on here. Mad how a group of middle aged men will pick on one of our young blues like this. Must be an agenda.

I"d take him over Harrison or Lindstrom all day long

I think it is safe to say that our set piece count has dropped off a lot since he has been out. Will be interesting to see if Moyes will have a place for him but regardless he will be beneficial to us even if he is on the bench. We need options

 

[Gallaeo]

I think we missed him when we played to keep it 0-0 for up mins then try to nick a late win.

Hard to say we’ve missed him since coach moyes retuned

I think we missed him pre Moyes. It will be interesting if he kicks on under Moyes too.

Can you please point out the dogs abuse? Thought not.

You are very strange.

 

[SJB]

You are very strange.

Cheers Mick, that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me.

Some people have said we've missed his set pieces, which is probably true, and I think we've missed wide options both in the starting line up and from the bench. I think your use of the word "massively" is not really reflective of the general tone in this thread. I haven't seen a single post suggesting he should be the first name on the teamsheet or anything like that, just a few people saying it would be good to have him back.

 

[DualityNSNO]

Can't wait for Moyes to make him use his right foot and magically gift him the gift of physicality and pace then.

He started off poorly when he arrived. People got on his back. He improved into one of our most important players but people just can't change their mind. They are oblivious to what they watch.

They need a scapegoat or two to moan about.

Yes he is slow and one footed. If he was quick or as good with both feet he would be playing for a team at the top of the table.

He will be straight back in the team when he is fit.

 

[Hellerad]

There can be zero argument that he’s a better bench option than a second keeper.

I’d prefer him to Harrison.
