Bla, bla, bla, bla - get over it pal. I actually enjoyed watching the TFC game with Ryan & Hogan + Earnshaw banging a goal in. Too bad they couldn't get the result - certainly less stressful compared to watching us all season throwing away games.
Errr why not. I live near Toronto & the game started about 4 hours after the r's finished... Do you not watch any games with ex players in it then.....
some of us really need to get over nelson leaving
had he not been here for the time he was we would have gone down weeks ago
good luck to him and he still gets my vote for player of the year
Initially thought he had signed a permanent deal with TFC, but apparently he is on loan. Always in the starting lineup, doing okay, getting more comfortable playing with team-mates and seems to be getting better each game, although he was starting to lose it a little with his temperament towards the end of this one and got yellow carded.
I know people like to find a scapegoat for their misfortunes, but we were already there - Nelsen put in some really good shifts for us, and was never intended to be our #1 centre back, was brought in as cover and continued playing despite being in "brittle" physical condition. Also we had a ready made replacement in Chris Samba, that TF forked out so much money for.
Not saying he is to blame or making him a scapegoat. I just wasn't impressed with the way he left us, mid contract, when we needed him.
Sorry, you wanna watch you watch and enjoy mate! I just don't want players who walk out on us in relegation struggle mid in a short term contract coming back to us in any role. If his legs were that bad why did he accept the contract in the first place.
yeah
what oslo said
why did those Warnock or hughes blokes sign contracts
did they really expect them to be honoured
nelsen has gone
get over it
I don't blame Nelson, he was always destined to be a manager and he was offered a managerial appointment that may not have been offered at the end of the season, he was only thinking of his and his family's future, cant blame him for that.
My god you guys, get over it, call off the attack dogs - Nelsen's not the reason we're getting relegated.
Due to the poor performance level of our assembled squad, Nelsen was played far more at centre back than originally expected by everyone. This obviously had a bearing on his physical condition - did you want him to retire at the end of season as a cripple? Looks like he left with Tony's & Harry's blessing.

Nelsen's playing contract at Loftus Road runs until 30 June, but the defender says his body is struggling to cope with the demands of top-flight football. "I've had several conversations with Harry and Tony Fernandes," the New Zealander added. "They have been so understanding with my situation. They understand that when I play I am playing on glass knees and glass ankles. It is a bit of a struggle."
I don't understand how you could vote for a player who was only been here for half a season. That doesn't just apply to Nelson but also to Remy, Townsend etc etc.
My vote will go to a player who I consider has played well the whole season, not half a season.
