It's plain for all to see that Arnold should just stick to his hairdressing. He's bloody useless. Nielson on the other hand should be starting every week. I don't understand the criticism he gets from Hurst, especially considering how bad Arnold has been.


Hear, hear.

Is that the Nielson who's injured and probably not fit enough at the moment?

To be fair though Mike, rightly or wrongly he was out of the side long before his injury problems,personally i feel
he has never been used in a position that would suit him best - as an attacking midfielder in a free role behind
the forwards, he is the best striker of a ball at the club and surely in a more central role he would be a danger
to the opposition anywhere within 30 yards of their goal.
Just my opinion.

The story is the same every season. Neilson starts well, appears to be our key player, and then things slide.

The team becomes more defensive, Neilson gets injured or struggles for form, and when he does play he looks like he's too scared to try anything ambitious.

Whether or not that's an instruction from the manager, I don't know. I hope not.

Every team needs one player who can be given the licence to take people on and try things out of the ordinary. Even if that doesn't quite fit in with the team philosophy, it's the sort of thing that fans pay to see.

There needs to be an end product though and so often Scott does his dribbling thing and then loses possession, so we see the fancy stuff which apparently some fans think that makes him a guaranteed starter. Also I think some are being a bit heavy on Arnold. He too is talented but sometimes does not deliver but last Sat he was probably our best player. With these two we just don't know what we are going to get and that is a problem for the manager.

He has been used in his best position, for about 3 games.

We scored 14 goals....

My Impression of Neilson in the games I have seen him in this season is that he feels he has to do 90% of the work himself, taking on too many players etc.  In terms of actually being able to create something he is our best player IMO, but he needs to trust others to use the ball well too.

Yes and i seem to remember he scored arguably our best goal of the season, at Gateshead a 25 yarder from a
central position, which perhaps backs up my point - how many other 'screamers' have we scored from distance
this season? Not many, if any.

I would take Meikle or Jolley would prefer Christian Jolley, also Alfie Potter is available for free he would have legs to get forward and support from midfield.

I really do despair with some on this site, 3 red crosses for suggesting that Scott Neilson could be used playing
off the attackers in a more central role and pointing out he had scored arguably our best goal of the season from
that position,i made it clear that this was an opinion, instead of being petty with the reputation thing why not
counter with an argument why this wouldn't work?
The reputation thing isn't important, but there was nothing controversial or aggressive with my posts - its all a bit
sad really.
