Nugent...

[WFG too]

Should he grace Deepdale again, or any away ground, in a North End shirt?

Oh for heavens sake. Bet you’ve had this drafted for weeks.
There. Is. Only. One. Person. Who. Played. Well. Today!

Do we get 3 guesses?

If you like Thracia ? You’re not getting a prize though

Rudy Gestede ?

Rudy Gestede ?

Well, yes. Which in itself is as damning a statement on the game as any other

If we listened to people on here we'd transfer list every player who ever has a bad game and end up with a squad of about 3 players within a couple of months

 

[LancasterRed]

Did well today. Worked hard but didn't get the quality service he needs.

Not true, because we'd have Healy, Cresswell, Fuller for a start ;-)

Nugent was superb against Fulham and Leeds recently. He did okay today with zero service.

 

[WFG too]

We need a striker to deliver the goods?

Sadly, he doesn't - because he is past it...

Ok, he’s past it which is why he isn’t delivering...what’s your excuse for Stockley and Maguire then?

He got zero service though pretty much.

He was always going to struggle today against a backline with an average height of 7'19"

Maybe the system of playing 1 upfront doesn’t work for any of our strikers, Nugent wasn’t going to hit the heights of first time round but can anyone really fault his effort ? He may not win all headers he goes for but never gives the defender a free header

At least he shows some effort and enthusiasm, which I'm afraid appears lacking in certain others at the moment. How Maguire stayed on the pitch is a mystery to me, but of course I'm not the manager, so what do I know?

No, no. You can’t post logical responses. You have to bed wet about how we should pay his contract off, and he’s the sole reason Hemmings hasn’t invested any money in the last 3 years!

 

[Tugg Speedman]

Dont really know why we signed Stockley either. He's a target man and we play without strikers and we don't put crosses in from the wings.

Neil needs to take responsibility and sort out this poor run we're on.

That's eight foot seven I think, Paddy.
