Wasn't there last night but a bit surprised that Chung didn't get a go especially towards the end when Billy went off. Maybe Nigel thought this game was too fierce to introduce him?
Its great that every striking combination which we may put out really excites me, its an area of real depth for us IMO.
I think maybe because of the intensity of the Wham game, Adkins went for Connors experience, and the old 'he used to play for them' perhaps? Think Chung will get his chance, looks an exciting prospect.
I was slightly disappointed with him bringing on connolly instead of lee. He had looked bright and good when he has come on. He would also have had that extra pace to scare their defence.
I think Adkins sees Lee as a great prospect but isn't inclined to take chances in this part of the season. Probably also feels that some games are too fierce for him. Unless we have injuries, can't see Lee starting any time soon.
You can always go and see him tomorrow at west quay and ask him how he's getting on....if he understands.
I don't see why nigel would sign him if he didn't think he was ready. As if we get promoted then its not going to be able to throw him in is he?? as we will be fighting against relegation....
Had only seen Lee in videos of games in Japan..wouldn't know how he'd fit in English football until he got him here. Lee has also not played for months before he arrived, so needs to up his fitness. Nigel does seem genuinely impressed with him though,
he is our only full international player- he is ready. we now have strength in depth and the gaffer can pick a team that he thinks suits the opponent. Derby should play a more open game and suit Lee`s running game
He is both..the first is his Japanese name, the 2nd is his Korean name. As Adkins calls him Chung, I would guess that is his family and preferred name.
