Johnny Forte is available.....He is fast and can score goals with both feet and his head, unlike the donkey we have kept on..
He was never going to be first choice in the first place regardless of how good he played. Nolan not knowing his ar*s from his elbow believed that both Stead and Ameobi were the better strikers. fortunately it took an injury to Stead for him to realise that he was wrong. Nolan now had no choice but to play Forte in his prefered central striking role.
Previous to that most of his other appearances he had been stuck out on the wing watching balls fly over his head to no-one.
Dont be surprised if Nolan does the same to Hemmings and plays Stead and Dennis has the 2 strikers. Listening to an interview recently with Thomas, he said that Hemmings will be best used outside the box..... Having watched some of the goals that he has scored, most have been inside the box......
The guys who guided us to an unexpected 5th does not know his arse from his elbow? Interesting. Imagine if he did. We would have got well over 100 points last season. Easily.
Last season was all about consolidation, the manager and chairman both said as much. The players signed and Re-signed were players that KN trusted whilst he felt his way in to the club and made changes in the back ground. Fast forward a year, KN is clearly more comfortable with how the club is, his staff etc. He released a lot of dead wood and his mates. Couple this with an injection of cash from the chairman and the squad looks better.
I think any sensible fan would agree we over achieved last season, and Kevin ‘plays his mates’ Nolan was a massive contributing factor in that.
We could well have gone up if he hadn't persisted with Stead and Ameobi.
