When he first came with the injuries we had you could envisage him starting after a game or two but the front line have caught fire since. Bad timing on his part but good for Forest, there's no chance of any of that front four being dropped at the moment
I agree about him not starting at the moment.
Yeah I'm sure he will get some minutes, just not as a starter. There will be games where we need to pull Elanga, CHO or MGW after 65 mins to protect them or change things up.
MOTD highlights are no basis for judging a player.I thought he was crap when he came on but looked OK on the brief MOTD highlights.
I think it was an inspired bit of skill.
Agreed - they’ll both get a chance about this time against Liverpool when we’re 3 or 4 up and can rest a couple of the starters.
f*** em, couldn't give a toss about Dortmund or Reyna
Really it's the CHO-MGW-Elanga line as he'd never cover CF.
It was already assumed that you hadn't put CF and Origi in the same sentence
Definitely smart play, though I'll add in a showy playing for himself type way!
You expect a back heeled flick of a ball at hip height to be well placed? He literally sees Neco running by him and plays a ball good enough to put Neco through to cross and get us in a position to cement victory.
It looked totally instinctive, but he clearly spots Williams' run and executes it well. Neco still had much to do however, and his sheer desire to get past the defender and create a chance was terrific to see. Callum's composed finish topped it all off.
Exactly Eddie. Bringing him in was always going to be a bit of a punt given his more recent record, and being 3rd-choice as you rightly point out meant that gametime was hopefully going to be limited. In Wood's absence he now has an opportunity to have a positive impact; hopefully the fans get behind him and he takes it.
Aye... as always, too many folk writing players far too quickly without giving the poor boggers a chance.
In fairness I wrote him off based entirely on what I'd seen of him elsewhere. I hope he does well for us, I just haven't thought he would based on his previous.
