Help me to understand.....

[Mem]

Maybe I am missing something;

Nico H - fantastic on loan last session. Looked brilliant yesterday for Finland. I get the impression he won’t feature this season. He is a natural left back, whilst Manning is a left sided midfielder. We should start with both of them. Wallace should be a back up

Dieng - again, I get the impression he’ll be shipped out on loan. Outstanding reviews wherever he has been on loan, even managed to keep our only preseason clean sheet. What am I missing given the performances of Lumley and Kelly? Is it his distribution or his attitude but in my view he has to start against Forest.

My team for Saturday without the expected 1 or 2 additions;

Dieng

Kakay, Dickie, Barbet, Niko

Cameron, Carol

BOS, Chair, Manning

Lyndon

subs

Kelly
Amos
Smyth
Ball
Bettache
Masterson
Wallace

No room for Lumley, Kane, Shodipo or Oteh who have all been poor in preseason

Thoughts?

[Undecided]

Doesn't look too bad to me.

(Until we get more in)

Missing out Thomas

Looks great but cant see Nico or Dieng starting yet. More than happy putting Manning further up the park but it will be Lumley and Wallace as things stand.

Missing out Thomas

Yes, Cameron on the bench or out to stud.

Until new players come in that might be the best we get.

As you say, I don't understand either why Dieng is not being selected ahead of Lumley.
We have played 3 games and had he chosen Kelly for one of them I would have said MW is giving them all equal time to impress, but he has chosen Lumley twice now.

Hamalainen should also be given a chance as he is a left back.

Missing out Thomas

Fair point Jeff. I’d forgotten about him. Definitely a place on the bench at least

I like to keep tabs on our loan players by looking on the club forums and twitter comments. I think the general consensus on Niko was that he started strongly but by the end of his loan was being found out and wasn't really up to a high enough standard.

Dieng on the other hand was always receiving rave reviews including high praise from Darren Moore at Doncaster, so would 100% like to see him given a chance as our no.1

Understand about Niko fading away but I think I would too if I was farmed off to Kilmarnock. It's a lot different to playing for your clubs' first team, or playing internationals for your country. He's clearly not a bad player and may benefit from a run in the 1st team. Couldn't do much worse than our other options frankly. IMO.

I thought Kelly played at Oxford ? Agree though with regards Dieng, got to be worth a go based on Lumleys performance on Saturday.

[hoopsmanjake]

We not got many internationals so mite as well play them

Far point if Kelly did at at Oxford. If that is the case then hopefully MW will reward Dieng for keeping a clean sheet by starting him against Forest.

The goals conceded were not Lumley's fault but those who played in front of him, or didn't play as the case may be. To pick out Lumley as most did, before game highlights were even released is very unfair on him. Talk about an easy fall guy.....

[Shania]

Our best team atm, Imo. Oh, and Nico Hemalainen impressed me aswell against Ireland. Good positional sense.

IMO, he didn`t even try to raise his hands.
