Was looking at who might be coming back down to championship next season and of course Burnley looks to be a nailed candidate! So had a look at to how Brownhill and HNM were getting on! well Brownhill is an ever present but HNM is less than a bit part player! A few subs appearances of 10 mins or less on the bench a few times. BROWNHILL 3 goals and 2 assists. I wonder what we got paid for HNM, MADE his bed and now gets minimal game time I suspect less than 2 hours on the pitch after 26 or so games! And not a permanent fixture on the bench! Scott, Kelly, Semenyo fairing much better Kelly an ever present ASc ASe starts and sub appearances ASe 4 goals ASc 2 & LK 1 a 1/4 to fifth of total goals scored
I thought HNM was ‘nearly’ brilliant. Loads of energy and enthusiasm - some great close ball skills - then - plop.
I am glad to see some of our alumni doing well at the top level and I try to watch them on TV when available. As far as HNM is concerned I was never fooled by his trickery as he usually went around in circles only to disappear up his own backside. I put Mehmeti in the same class and can't see what he brings to the club.
I meant on the pitch. He was like a Jack Russell going after a rat for the ball but after doing all the hard work his vision and final pass or (rare) shot would always come to nothing.
Morning Wiz. Sure you are aware of my view of Junior's ability, playing and coaching. However the way LM educates and employs a high press and very athletic press I wonder if it may suit HNM's style of play. I realise it's very unlikely to happen but he's older/stronger and I'd take him back on a 'free'.
Morning RP I always liked HNM but must admit whilst energy and effort was always given in abundance he was never the finished article for us, he left us on respectful terms, I wish him well for the future and I to would welcome him on a free and give LM a go with him. Hope for a win today.
Scott never had many assist in him either. But like HNM they assisted the assister. That back heal against Cardiff unlocked Semenyo to cross to Weinmann was unreal.
there were a couple of players beside HNM who might be "stars" under LM, ! but problem is there is also loads of others who have not or never fell under the wing of the right coach/ manager be they BCFC or others! When individuals comment on how c**p a player is they are not professional coach's /managers especially ones that seem to get play so regular!! Majority of people always have to axe to grind regarding something ... which to others "dosent make sense" thats why life is like it is! be it [ take in football ] players coach's /managers owners etc ... someone some where will find a header to add to a way to regiment "a list" often based on a simple fact like all time..... appearances/goals/ wins/losses/ money put into club/ value of owner length of service etc. Often based on tenuos facts, of facts poorly researched etc I am not a professional coach, so I leave it up to them......... I might disagree who what why or when but thats just my opinion/ observation ps /note ...this post was sent @11.15 ..why the delay in appearing!
