Bristol City he looked unfit and worried he might get injured,if he even put 10 percent more in.
He looked better last night as did the returning PICKERING,who by the way looked a bit special 😉
Wow, that showed me just how touch I am this season. Being honest all I have seen us do is lose on Sky (apart from they beat Hull) all season.
Pickering was excellent and scored a brilliant goal.
I think I may well be wrong about him lol that goal was as good as I've seen in years at Ewood.
I heard the same about Nyambe, on Sat from quite a few. I just feel he had a bad game, which players do have.
I wouldn't write him off, personally, I thought he was every bit as good as Pickering last night.
I dont agree on the injury front. Not when we have players like Ayala who cant last more than a few games. JRC who never plays etc. Nyambe plays a vast majority of games, never played less than 28 in a 42 game season in his career. That's what I was saying. He does play, he does contribute, and like the rest has the odd bad game every so often. I just don't see why he was singelled out? The only thing I agree with him, he visibly covers more ground than any other player (apart from Dolan) and is massively overworked. He never ...not once ...got covered by Harvey Elliott last season who never tracked back. He rarely gets anyone tracking back and is often marking 2 players. To say its unfair is an understatement. I never understand such things as they pass unnoticed. He gets exposed most games. And is expected to do the most work in the system we play. I said above, he is by no means a wold beater. But I don't feel he should be written off. He is fine. He just had a bad game down at Bristol.
When will we see Ayala again? We need him Sat vrs Stoke. Bet we don't see him. Or JRC. We will see Nyambe, injury or not. We need players who play.
