2024/25 Dwight McNeil

[formerly manx toffee]

We are in desperate desperate trouble of being relegated this season because we can't score. He is one of the few with end product.

Yep. Desperately need him back

 

[knowing your history]

It's a bad state we are in, when we are in need of this guy to get back shape-ish for his deadball delivery

We all know Dwight's limitations but he is someone that does quickly get the ball out of his feet, look up and then get a quick shot or crosses in. Over a season 3-4 of those go in.

It is a current football criminal offence to see Doucoure lumbering around offering nothing in the number 10 position so McNeil can't get fit soon enough for me and hopefully another Ndiaye type can be signed this window just to have more options rather than having to start Harrison as soon as one player gets injured.

Our most creative player is out and we are sucking butt at creating anything. Not a shocker in the least. I get why this guy isn't everyone's cup of tea. He is clearly important in this side. I really very much wish that we were able to try him in this 433 early in the season and we might have been able to save our season a bit and fight for anything at all. Without him we look very clueless.

If we’re so heavily reliant on one player to create anything, which is 80% of the time from set pieces anyway, then that’s on the manager once again.

Probably is like that. I would be keen, how many of the big chances he created were actually set pieces, and how many open play.

None the less for me it felt he was the only guy that got our striker in scene once in a while.

You lose marks for your colour of pen.

Such a slow, plodding nonentity of a player, yet we are seemingly entirely reliant on him creating something.

Yup, bad times when you are relying on Dwight McNeil to dig you out of a hole.

 

[kiss the crest]

This is how low we are as a club that we are desperate for McNeil to return to the team

Nailed it. I'm guessing Burnley were once reliant on him to score and create their chances. Look how it turned out for them.

Mad how much we've missed him over this Christmas & New Year period..

Not the best but a lot better than most in our side, only one capable of scoring from outside the box in open play and the only one capable of getting it over the first defender's head whilst taking a corner.

Crazy, innit.

Not defending the manager. We always figure things out too late. Dwight was more than set pieces. If anything I'd blame our striker for not putting away his chances from open play. Dom had quite a bit earlier in the season that he fluffed and he isn't the only one.

When is he back pleassseeeee
