2025/26 Dwight McNeil

[Toffeepot]

to be fair on a basic level I'd say loads of players are as one footed as him. The issue is that he invariably plays as a winger and has absolutely no pace whatsoever so he often finds himself in positions where he has to go onto his weaker side and it's then that it becomes painfully obvious that he can't do it. Players who have pace and are able to continually go past on the outside you don't notice as much, and defenders can hide it a bit more easily, but playing the way he does it just stands out like a sore thumb (obviously exacerbated when for no reason that I will ever be able to understand, managers actually play him on the side that he can't use).

Perhaps you're right about the foot and it wouldn't be so obvious were he not taking 5 left foit touches to turn round on the wrong side.

As bad as playing him on the right is, it's amplified without overlapping FBs
If he starts tomorrow it would be so much more effective if he were left, Ndiaye right. At least DM could get the occasional early cross in and we know Ndiaye can dribble past his man

A little joke mate.

Except the McNeil bit, please Dwight just give us a rest ffs

I think I walked in in the middle of a joke and said 'what!?'

Sky reporting Forest are interested, Forest can have him we could maybe give a youngster a chance if we don’t get a replacement, certainly better than him playing or strolling around doing bugger all

Is he hated more than Keane on GOT?

Hated? No, surely not? He’s just a poor footballer. He’s one of the reasons why we’ve been circling the drain for a while, just a poor quality player, championship level at best, and he’s not the only one. You have to remember that this lad is wearing the same shirt number as Trevor Steven and Pienaar to name
but a few. He’s not fit to lace their boots.

Here's hoping ....make it happen dyche

Take Keane aswell while you're at it

Surely they won’t let the Dycheanator do this.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

I will drive him past the picket line myself.

 

[Marius57]

Can’t see it unless we have another winger coming in.

As much as I don’t want him starting games for us (or even coming on as a sub), we can’t lose to wingers that have been playing as much as they have without bringing one in.

 

[Clarky cat]

I’d love for this to happen to McNeil

“Davey, you got a minute… you can’t start McNeil tonight you’ll have to start Dibling”



Make it so @AngusKinnear

I would sell Dwight even without a replacement. At this point the makeshift options are better, and the opportunity to get actual cash money for him might not come around again.

 

[PercyPlant]

For me he’s up there with the likes of Niasse, Beto, Mcgeady, Alcaraz, Besic and Mori as one of our worst signings. He’s so languid in his playing style it doesn’t help him, but if we can get real money for him we should do it instantly.

I agree, I’d snap anyone’s hands off personally. But no way does Moyes sanction that without an incoming

Surely not
Please be true
Surely not

 

[Toffeepot]

Is he hated more than Keane on GOT?

Yes for me now
Keane stepped up and had some very good games for us this season when we really needed him. And he doesn't look down at his feet when he's trying to run
