JH Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 If I was at home, I'd quote a post from the past about him not being ready. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmk Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 My opinion of him has not changed. Potential is there, needs games at a lower level to improve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Even for you, man. Most males are still growing at 19 and still have to build up stamina. That's why sportsmen don't usually peak at 19. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 He was 20 on Monday was he not? or is it his birthday tomorrow ? He badly needs games and some focus, way to soon to write him off.. he like a lot today had a poor game. Fact is we are going to rely on him for the rest of the season.

Mick Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 A 19-year-old professional footballer should have plenty of stamina, man. How many 19 year olds play Premiership football? The answer is not many on a regular basis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer is not many on a regular basis. Because football demands a high level of positional intelligence, and not too many 19 or 20 year olds have that. There are sports which require far more stamina than football in which athletes at that age thrive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnbull2000 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 He's looking like the new Paul Robinson. Will be in the lower leagues at best in a few years time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Most players who are going to make it are cutting the mustard at Nile's age.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 For the rest of the season he should be used as an impact sub and definitely not a starter. He must go out on loan next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start with Kuqi and then replace him with Ranger (as with hindsight we should have done today). If half our strikers are injured I'd rather we had a 5 man midfield (when they return from suspension) than start Ranger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punk77 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Of course he hadn't the best support from our midfield. But he failed in his attempt of keeping the ball. He lost the ball almost every time. But he's young. He should learn his trade in another league. Kuqi should start our next match.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Stamina eh? now would you say more to do with physical fitness or mental attitude? Had we been winning and he had scored I think he would have kept going without any issues, but when things are not going your way, there is a lack of service its easy to start to get frustrated and become negative and give up. I thik that more what happened with Nile rather than him being physically shattered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
