Except win penalties...which should = GOAL!
As for the facts digging...That's much better than rumour & speculation - but you know that you usually support good your arguments with carefully selected facts.
Except win penalties...which should = GOAL!Yes that is it. He was awesome on his debut but the fact that people then have to dig up some facts that he won a couple of penalties shows that he actually did very little.

And? He won 2 pens against a shocking leeds team (not 3 as indicated above), and won a penalty against Leicester in which he got clipped by the defender while chasing down the keeper and scored against 9 man middlesborough.
He made contributions in 3 games out of 17, Norwood pretty much shined in 90% of the games he played.
He was not awesome, if he was awesome Mowbray would have played him up top for middlesborough and would have started every game he was there.
He's got potential, he's got skill, but he hasn't got a very good footballing brain (yet) and made lots of poor decisions before and after getting injured.
Really so this is the only contributions he made to the team, funny as off the top off my head I remember him assisting a goal to Norwood vs Pompy.And?

If we labelled Nimely as a an attacking mid which is where most games he was dropping deep to play then you wouldn't be giving him as much criticism because we are labelling him as striker you are just saying he isn't good enough because he didn't score goals.
He may never be an out and out goalscorer but he was exciting and he made things happen, he dropped deep and linked up the play and had the best control and tight dribbling at the club
I am just astonished that after dropping down a league now some fans think we are too good for Nimely
Pretty much most of our best attacking moves went through Nimely, I am probably reading too much into this but is it a coincidence that his injury and the introduction of the target man Platt coincided with our loss of form near the end of the year
So in his first 14 games before he got injured , he won 3 penalties, Set up two goals, scored one and 2 players were sent off for fouling him. All this for a team that lost 7, won 4 matches and drew 3.
Mowbray's view of him :-
“They trained with him every day and know what a threat he could be and how dangerous he is.
“They know that if they give him a chance he will probably stick it in the net.
“Let’s hope he has a quiet day.”
I am afraid he would be a very very useful asset for our team in League one. However I dont think it will happen as a fit Nimely is better than League one and he would be an asset to any Championship side.
I am not saying he would be our out and out goalscorer that is the job for Cody.
We also need to sign a target man but Nimely would be a very good signing.
A lot of time for Cov he was played out to the right handside as well.
I agree too good for league 1. Also thinking about it. If all three penalties were put away like the should have been. Then that would have been 1 goal, 5 assists, 2 players sent off for fouling him in his first 14 games prior to injury. In a team that were struggling.
I'll stick with he had an awesome impact for us.
exactly and if not for some world class saves he would have bagged another 3-4 goals too imo
he would be great signing for us.
stupot your a good poster but you are OVERLY negative as it seems your trying to keep your fellow fans grounded, its not required though.

Quite ironic that Mowbray rated him so highly that he hardly played for them, and was played out of his preferred position.
The point he makes though is valid. We will only be able to sign a limited number of players. We have strikers already who have very poor returns. Nimeley would have to be one the strikers we sign. Put it this way if a modern Mick Quinn was available and you had a choice who would you go for? If it is football skill there is only one answer, if it is awareness in the penalty area and goal prowess it is the other answer and that is the one we need.
Could be Mowbrays preferred style of play or system. Maybe he needed more of a target man and unlike us had a few players of nimely's style. Hence him going for juke. You say Mowbray didn't rate him. I can only go on what Mowbray said and on that day he was right.
Ah so you chose to ignore everything else I said :facepalm: a typical response from this forum, he was still injured when our survival went tits up at the end of the season which was the point I was making thereYour wrong platt and nimely started together from the start of Nimely's loan spell.
“Clive’s a big lad who is very good at holding the ball,” said Nimely. “I’m very happy to play alongside him – he makes it easier for me and I’m so grateful to him.”

I normally agree with most things you say but on this occasion you are just spouting shit
You keep going on about how he wasn't considered good enough to play for Middelsbrough so therefore not good enough for us, Middelsbrough were a side pushing for the play offs and we were struggling against relegation and are now in league 1 so that doesn't hold much weight. Unless of course you were expecting us to sign players of a standard which would get us promoted into the premiership in which case you are deluded.
You are also ignoring half of what I said.
1) he is full of raw talent, he excited me when he first came but defenders worked him out. His movement was poor and not varied enough. It's as if he has been far too talented of opposition defenders at youth and reserve level that he could create his own chances, so has never needed to learn proper strikers movement. He drops into the hole every time and rarely runs in behind and therefore doesn't vary his movement. Also when the ball was worked out wide he never made runs into the box. Nearly all of his shots were from outside the box.
2) he wasn't awesome. Awesome suggests that he looked head and shoulders above everyone else on the pitch in most games. He didn't.
3) the budgets tight, we need to spend our money wisely. We already have a lot of inexperienced players and need a goalscorer to complement cody. Nimely might score 15 in league, however his strike rate last season suggests he won't.
4) yes we're are in league one, but look at the teams that have been promoted - most have done so by having a proven goalscorer.
5) my point about middlesborough is tha Mowbray looked at him and didn't see him as a striker, he even came on as sub for them on the wing. And he didn't want to extens the loan. They wanted Juke, yet juke struggled to make an impact for them.
If he comes I would welcome him with open arms, but I don't think he is the right player for us.
1) I agree but he would still have the defenders tied up in knots in this divisionYou are also ignoring half of what I said.

Sorry Stu I have to agree with CCFC on this one.
You don't think he is the right player for us ?
A player that can run at defenders causing them to panic and give away penalties in a division above the one we are currently in ?
No sorry your right we wouldn't want a player like this in div 1 !!!
He won 2 penalties by running at people, 1 was an elbow jumping for a header and the other he got clipped while closing down the keeper.
And I never said I wouldn't have him above ROD and Jeffers did I? I said the budgets tight and I would rather go for someone who has a decent goalscoring record at that level if I had to choose.

Like ROD
Why would Thorn say we need two strikers?
So you think we can do a whole season without losing strikers to injuries/suspensions?
