Norrington Davies

[Ndlovu's Glove]

Rare positive from today, one of the first names on the team sheet.

 

[Wards]

Was fucked at the 60 minute mark, his first proper game of the season after an injury lay off so understandable why he was taken off. Played well though, a huge upgrade on Robinson/Osborn though.

 

[metalblade]

He would have had an even better game if Fleck had got forward and given him a bit of support, far too many times found himself out wide on his own with two defenders.

RND and Davies were the positives today.

Both tried to move us further up the pitch.

Thought he did well yesterday. Never stopped running and linked up well down the left with Osborn.

Lad did well, deserves a mention. Was involved in the first goal with an excellent switch of play to MGW.

What's more some people on this board have abbreviated Ndiaye to ND which must hurt poor Rhys - the original ND

JOC'esque?

Looks decent. Powerful moving forward but got squared up and played behind 3 times in the first half which, with better crossing could have been costly.

 

[McGoaldrick]

Fantastic player, fitted in seamlessly, doesn’t feel like a young academy graduate at all

 

[loyalblade95]

I think the championship experience he has had from Luton and Stoke is proving to be good for him and the team. Looks like he fits into what SJ is trying to do

 

[Stretch]

I can't fault the lad so far, even before yesterday he was one of the few who played well and has comfortably been our best defender so far.

If he keeps this form up, Stevens aint getting a sniff when he gets fit.

 

[Fulwood Blade]

For any Blades who watched him play a few games for Wales, as well as last season for Luton and Stoke (Quest, Saturday nights) he was always going to be no:1 this season, especially after the poor last 18 months that Enda has had. He's made tremendous progress and has a peach of a left foot.

He's not afraid to get forward and to take on his opposite number - he fits in entirely with how SJ wants to play the game.

Enda has been brilliant for us since joining, bar the last bit when he's just lost his way. It has sort of coincided with JOC been out, but that's how things go sometimes.

We need to move on and perhaps Fleck and Norwood have seen that they could have been next, so well done to them for hopefully kicking on again.

Agree with this, but also, I'm looking forward to seeing Stevens off the bench when he's fit, see if he can take this actual competition and improve himself to somewhere closer to the levels he was at ~2 years ago, because that Enda was one of the best in the league in that position.

I miss his nutmegs.

Indeed - the 2 years in the Championship and up to lock down he was magnificent - not convinced he can play at the pace/stamina demanded by Slav. Let's hope he gets fit and indeed provides competition for RND which may push RND to greater things.

[CaptainMorgans]

I'm not completely sold yet. I think he loses his runners at the back & going forwards needs to lift his head and pick a man out a little better. At the moment he looks like a determined player lacking a little in composure.

He picked out MGW for the first goal alright. Peach of a pass!

Just asking what the latest is with RND.

Not made the squad since the Blackpool game in late October

Part of Hecky's youth set-up I'm guessing and given how short we are defensively, I'm surprised he can't make the bench

Rhys was at Fulham last night. Doing sprints & beeps up & down the cones on the pitch. One on one with a fizz who I'm guessing was running him (literally) through part of his rehab. To my untrained eye, moving normally. Looked to be really working hard.

(It would be an educated guess, but by the time Heckingbottom took over from Andrew Hughes as U23 lead, Rhys would have been deep into his loan out spells. I doubt Heckingbottom worked much with Rhys as an Academy player)

Which beer were you working really hard with yesterday !

I think I've seen enough now from RND. I don't think he'll be a top player at this level, he doesn't show enough quality on the ball. He's enthusiastic and a decent competitor, not a bad athlete so I think he'll have an OK future but he's not somebody I'm clambering to see more of.

I'd be intrigued to see what Max Lowe can offer in this division. He looked a little lost and a bit weak at PL level. But by all accounts he's been earning rave reviews from Forest fans, particularly with his attacking output.

If we could trade the two I would. Not saying either is the answer, but Lowe seems the pick.

Tbf to Rnd we've only seen him under Slav. Nobody pulled up trees under the last regime.

 

[Mojo]

Bit harsh to be writing the lad off. He's only young and has shown some decent promise. Hopefully the rest will do him good and he can find his form again, just like iliman.

Oh I'd missed his injury. So his absence is easily explained then.

I did wonder if he was a bit early for Hecky.

Thanks for explaining

Whilst in principal I agree he's shown nothing, but neither did lowe.

Whilst Lowe is earning great reviews from Forest, so did RND at 2 different clubs last season
