OK so we lost last night but we can IMHO take one very good positive out of last nights game and that was the performance of Brett. When he came on we looked far more dangerous with Brett and Whaley striking up an immediate understanding. The knock down for Whaley and the way he took his goal were real plus points and with DD looking at a suspension and Paddy looking short of fitness Tuesday could be the perfect time to vent his revenge on Leeds United.
 
Re: Brett Ormerod

Definately mate, for me I would be tempted just to start with Brett and Whaley up front against Leeds. I expect it to be Brett and Nuge though.
 
Re: Brett Ormerod

Brett, Dich, Pat and Nuge all scoring with mellor to come back aswell plus Whaley's excellent goalscoring contribution. Didn't think it at the start of the season but there's enough firepower there for automatic promotion.
 
Re: Brett Ormerod

Wouldn't go as far as to say Nuge, Brett or Diche are in goalscoring form yet mate. 😀 Hopefully soon though.

True but if at the end of the season they've all averaged around 10 goals, that equals two 20 goal strikers at other clubs!
 
Re: Brett Ormerod

i dont get what ppl like about dichio, good defendin and decent finish for the offside goal, but the shot fom outside the 18yrd box showed his true 'quality'. He gets lucky with 3goals and suddenly ppl say "oh now hes gonna be good", truth is he never was good just lucky, kinda like peter crouch but worse, played awful last night. Now brett showed his class when he came on and with him nuge and mellor we got 3 quality strikers, paddy n dichio arent up 2 championship football. Paddys 2 inconsistent and dichios just awful.

Dichio is a good defender, and when was the last time we conceded from a corner? Think it was Rasiak of the top of my head.....But if he scored more goals now, i bet you would be saying he was good. And Agyemang was knackered last night , that is his downside, and he may be lazy, but if he scores goals , then what else can he do if hes a striker? God , we lose one game and its panic stations............
 
Re: Brett Ormerod

diche brings more to the team than scoring goals. he is the best out of all the strikers at defending. i'm more than happy with him in the team. him and nuge make a good partnership that we missed last night.

no panic stations from me. nothing is won in october.
 
Re: Brett Ormerod

Neither Dichio nor Agyemang were properly match fit last night. I thought Dichio was close to being our best player in the first half, he was again contributing lots of little flicks and lay-offs and the way he hit the ball for his (I still think wrongly) disallowed goal was superb. He got some very rough handling in the second half, though, and also looked to have tired. But if you watched the close-up of his expression when he was substituted you could see the disappointment - he definitely wanted to stay on. Agyemang was ineffective for the most part. Given that we were only going to get half a game out of him, I think it would have been better to start with Ormerod and let Paddy loose for the last half hour. We should use him as a substitute next Tuesday. As our only fully fit forward Nugent should certainly start then, which would still leave Simmo with the question of whether to partner him with Dichio or Ormerod. Given the likelihood of our opponents indulging in a little rough stuff I would give Dichio the nod though within the next couple of weeks I suspect we may see the Ormerod-Nugent coupling establish itself as our first choice strike partnership.
 
Re: Brett Ormerod

i am a fan of ormerod and that goal will give him the confidence he needs, to score in what was ur second or third sub appearance will spur him on. I expect it to be him and nuge upfront on tuesday.

Surely that goal should be credited to you then?

Its not the 1 defeat, ive never trusted dichio 2 be a performer at this level. I will never have the confidnce in dichio, just like crouch for england, he scores a few and people think hes God or something. Yes hes a good defensive headerer but hes not our only one, hes not the only reason we aint conceded from a corner for a while.
If anything its people after 2 good games saying hes gonna be good now, thats just like what your saying with the 1 defeat business. Paddy on the other hand is good in glimpses, he is way to incosistent, if he could maintain his performances for a whole season then yeh he would be a great striker for us.
 
Re: Brett Ormerod

I agree with ernest that Dichio should be given the nod for tuesday night assuming he is fit enough to start, because some ugly stuff may be needed to kill off Leeds.

Aside from Dichio, I think Tuesday is not a game for anyone who is carrying a knock and so would keep Ormerod, Davidson and Agyemang on the bench.

Being physical will tire Leeds, and on the bench we have players who can take advantage of that, Ormerod included.

Agree with all of that. Nuge is perfect for Diche as he always makes hopeful runs, and Diche always makes hopeful flick-ons. When we need experience - Dichio and Nugent. When we need goals - Ormerod and Nuegnt. Paddy to come at 70-75mins every time. Although we clearly saw that Brett can have an impact as a sub too (not just the goal, but the skill combined with the hunger to win shook Burnley.)

Really excited about this season! Come on Whites!! 😀
