2025/26 Dwight McNeil

[Bluebonic]

Not his fault. In the team because Moyes trusts him to track his man, work hard out of possession and stay in defensive shape. All the things top managers prioritise in their wingers…

He doesnt though mate? Or at least he does for 15 minutes, then he’s blowing out of his hoop strolling around the middle of the pitch for the rest of the game.

But surely it's then up to the manager to recognise that the player (any player) is not performing as he wants him to, then make the necessary change(s).

Agreed mate, why the manager doesn’t is a source of constant bafflement to me.

Needs dropping now with either big Tim Charly or Armstrong given a go

That reflects even more poorly on Moyes then, doesn’t it.

Doing that means admitting you have got things wrong. That is not a strong point of Moyes tbf.

Lack of pace lack of goals lack of assists, lack of football brain, [Poor language removed] really.

And a right foot,not hard to negate such a one footed player,even worse playing on the right knowing he can,t turn inside when running with the ball.He does have good left foot but deny him the chance to get a shot off as happened several times yesterday then he is almost ineffective...

 

[jackyboy]

Genuinely ridiculous that a fella we were trying to get rid of in January and who had been playing with the ressies is starting over the right winger we spent £40m on. Not even a Dibling fan but our recruitment in the summer looks worse and worse the more you look at it

Alcaraz could of gave the ball away for the 1st goal just as well,

He won't be playing against the ammers.

He will. Moyes was happy with the 11 he picked mate, he told them so after that latest kick in the plums defeat.

Can't see it mate, i think he has to make changes, well he best had, I don't want to see that snail in the 1st eleven.

I’m with you mate, he did ok, but he’s dropped back to his usual levels recently.

Sadly, I think we are going to both be very disappointed on Saturday, he won’t drop him.

It is very depressing that Dibling doesn't even seem to be considered for game time over McNeil. Something has gone badly wrong there.

Still hope we can move McNeil on in the summer. The fact he's played so much in the 2nd half of the season might help dupe a few teams into thinking he's worth signing.

We need Dwight McNeil to put in some big performances in our last five games.
