    Neds

    Far too casual for me. Not just last night but all of the time. Prone to error and lapses of concentration. Not reliable at centre half and uncomfortable at right back. If we are to mount a serious challenge next season I hate to say but I can't see him featuring. Bright and articulate but on the pitch can't see any leadership from him, he's far too quiet as a captain

    Would be interested in others views?

    Agree 1000% mem. I've been of this opinion for ages now. He may be bright and articulate off the pitch but on it he's a proper dummy. Weak as #### at times and certainly no leader. Really winds me up

      Not a RB to be judged on. He has top pace, but not top acceleration which a RB needs to deal with speedy wingers

        Fault for third but if there is a thread on him we need one on angella and Hall who were far worse. Error prone well can I point you in direction of Hall and his efforts for the first and how many times did Angella get caught in possession one time should have resulted in their fourth

          Fair points, my comments are not related solely to yesterday but in general and over the last few seasons actually

              Nedum is a decent center back but not RB. Angella for me has no gumption; prone to mistakes. Next season would rotate Nedum back in with Hall at the back, recruit another up and coming CB, sign a new RB, have Cole and Robinson compete for spot at LB. One more thing: need to select a new captain who's unafraid to rev up the team on the field. Not sure who that is at this time; maybe we may that decision after the July pre-season.

                Once again, people going with the Urban myth that Onuoha is too quiet. Honestly, just watch him and see how vocal he is ffs. He's a passionate captain and right now, the only other players I'd have as captain are Smithies and Faurlin.

                  Don't want to say it but I do agree with the OP, we need to be tight at the back and Smithies is far to busy for my liking. We need to look at the whole back line.

                    All we need to do is play Ned at centre back with Hall, problem solved. I'm sure they know that at the club, they're just waiting to bring Robinson in, push Perch out to the right and Ned and Hall in the middle will have us sorted.

                      Hit and miss for me Nedum. Prefer him at centre half to full back but in either role he's prone to a howler or 2. Whole back 4 was pants last night though. Whilst we could easily of got a point or more out of the game, had it not been for a couple of smart stops from Smithies we could also have lost by 2 or 3.

                          Is just here for the wages, does not care!!!!!!
                          I believe we are going to see a lot like that in the remaining matches.
                          Players not pumped, nothing to play for.

                            Don't agree that he doesn't care, I just think he's not that good, not commanding enough to be captain, but a decent cb for the squad

                              Thought Hall had a worse game than Ned.
