I don't know about anyone else, but I'm sick of the Nemane haters. After watching today's game, I thought, well at least they won't be able to slag Nemane off as he had a great game but no,here's one with the blinkers on again. Makes me wonder what the issue is reallyQuote:

Tougher games to come but it was good to see Normal Notts back today.
Yes, I had him in our top 5 performers today.Quote:

Aaron Nemane is going to need to step up his game. It would be unfair to say he had a bad match today because he played his part in a good team performance, but he's capable of far more than he shows. I don't know if it's confidence or courage that he's lacking, or both, but it will hold him back if he's not careful.Quote:

For whatever reason he seems really reluctant to back himself to beat players when he's got the ball, and his preference for the give-and-go becomes very predictable and obvious. If he wants to play in the higher leagues, bearing in mind the links that were being made last summer, he's going to need to take more responsibility than he currently does. Plus he's got to improve his defending in terms of being willing to close down an opponent and make a challenge.
100% correct. We have Nemane haters behind us in the Kop, he can’t do a thing right and of course he gets the old accusation against wingers in general and black wingers in particular of being lazy.Quote:

Another great all round performance, after Stockport. What is great to see is JB fitness seemingly back to where it needs to be, and that SA is slowly getting to grips with the deeper midfield role, it cannot be easy being asked to play a role, completely foreign to you, where you head has to be on a swivel to receive, and then lay off the ball 360°, add to this his ability and energy levels, to play his more natural game late on when we shuffle the pack in midfield.
I think we might have player on our hands too, in James Sanderson, looked very composed when coming on again, and a less selfish Macca might have put him in for his second goal in two appearances.
I thought we were excellent today at set pieces including corners. There was clearly some new training ground routines on display and we did mix it up a bit as well with some long corners.Quote:

I feel this season he has forged a good link with Crowley and they have built a good understanding. He doesn’t always need to take a man on 1v1 and risk losing the ball.
I see a really hard working lively and energetic player who I’d sooner be on our team than the opposition. Let’s get behind him and support him as he will be important for us and a key player in the second half of this season.
