LOL that's an understatement, hasn't he ruptured his achillies? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes at the time the new number 1 comes to the club. Saves faces all round really. Number 1 keeper guaranteed for new guy Dropped to number 2 and most likely shipped out asap but the claim will be he only lost his spot due to injury. Synical ? If he is injured it's nasty but seems too coincidental to me. yes, i would say you're the only one suspicious...most likely he would have been training the very next day, hopefully on crosses + long balls. good message to send the rest of the squad - "have a poor game where you cannot do the simple stuff right, you're on the training pitch tomorrow to work on it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whose opening the training ground ? I find it hard to believe the training complex would be opened and staffed for 1 player to practice ?

Fairy In Boots Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I’ve been a detractor of his, however the competition for his place has resulted in an improvement in his performances and for that reason I’m gutted for him to be injured. I also find the section of our fan base rejoining in it unsavoury to say the least. I hope he comes back strong and makes me feel even worse 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 A bit odd to include him as a key player. Don't miss him one bit, Axel and jack on the other hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnkarl Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Celebrating the fact that a guy who's kept 6 clean sheets since Dean came in is injured in a potentially career threatening way like some of our fanbase is doing is vile. Hutton and Elmo can literally cause 2-3 goals per game and still they're touted fan-favourites. The football world is fickle, being the last man behind possibly the worst defense in the championship hasn't been easy, and the kind of vitriol that some people spout against this guy is beneath our club and fan community. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junxs Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Made the championship team of the month for December along with Abraham. Glad for him, probably won't play for us again but at least goes out on a high and dispels those theories where some fans on here were claiming they or their nan were better keepers than him.

How very dare you! My Nan played nearly 5 seasons in goal for Tipton Ladies, saving 9 penalties during the 80s, earning the nickname "nanny dick fingers". I think that gives me the right to say that she'd give Nyland a run for his money. ps - not all of the statement above is strictly accurate and the nickname earned may not have been for footballing reasons!

Vive_La_Villa Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 In terms of Villa I’m not bothered about his injury. I think he is a very average to poor keeper at this level. I don’t think he would have played again this season anyway. Generally as a person thought I feel for him and hope he recovers quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of actual proof for all these claims of Nyland being bad is beyond ridiculous at this point. You don't top that statistic being as bad as most people claim he is. The fact that we couldn't defend if our life depended on it is hardly the keeper's fault. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's effing dreadful at catching the ball under pressure, commanding his area, and he makes a lot of unforced errors . There is no stat for a palpable air of being more skittish than a cat at a fireworks display, but there's that, too. I think he could overcome all of those, I like him and wish him well, but he's had a hard time adjusting and now a nasty injury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the rest of a goalkeeper's game, especially this day and age, is more important. And he's crap at it. There's a reason we signed a new number 1 before the window even opened.
