dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 The shirt is his to lose now, IMO. I have fallen in love with his tenacity. It has always been there, but all too often in his short past with us he has played like a deflating balloon. Now he seems far more tactically astute, even if it is still something he needs to keep improving on. Which I feel will only come if he is given game time. Which he should absolutely get more of. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s never going to be as good as Dougie, but he’s as honest as they come. He is superior to Dougie defensively right now, without a doubt. But generally I agree, Douglas is going to the top. It might be a case of horse for courses, but it would be a shame not to see more of Nakamba. He's got ability, it's just a different kind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still see Doug more as more of a box to box midfielder over a DM if I'm honest, but not many agree. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly. But when he's on form, he's soooo good at dictating a game from there. And he's not exactly a defensive liability. I wouldn't be averse to a Nakamba, Luiz centre mid next week tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I thought he was brilliant today. I was bricking it, thinking that second yellow may come but, he was foot perfect afterwards and played brilliantly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 He's fairly one-dimensional, but that game was his dimension. Stays in the team v Brighton I think. Doug to recreate his excellent cameo off the bench there last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d start most games. Not over Luiz he won't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stratvillan Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Could we drop Ross, and play Dougie, SJM and marvellous. One of our few week stats is shots conceded. Playing a number 10 like Ross (not blaming him), but it leaves us open. Marvellous sitting and the other 2 taking it in turns to go forward? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if this is actually what we should have done against West Ham? In hindsight? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onmeedson Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 It's always good to see a lad improve himself, Marv had is doubters but he has taken it head on and showed he can do a job. He and Dougie are totally different players and both can do a role for us so i can see horses for courses happening here and both playing their part in our season. Well done Marv for showing progress and work effort on the big stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zab6359 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Really don't get the Nakamba love in honestly think he'll be moved on in the summer, seems a really nice guy but just not good eniugh for where we want to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately he may prove not good enough for where we want to be but there is no doubt he has a role to play in getting us there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
