Key man at the end getting the clapping going, even if he was shit I’d love him for that

Me too Max. I've also noticed Diabate doing something similar. Way to make yourself popular

If he stays fit we have a great chance. He's class!
That hold up play and strength was quality and something we just haven't had since he has been out.
His injury could have been a blessing in disguise though, it would have been awful to lose him in January, and after Randall being sold after a similar injury and continuing to have problems, perhaps other teams won't be keen to sign a potential "crock"

We all love Sam's puppy dog enthusiasm but I think the trick will be teaching him not to sprint after every single lost cause and how to conserve his energy to be most effective. And while Phillips and Zinzala don't have his all-round skills they hopefully at least have enough physical presence to allow us to still play the same way when Nombe is being rested.

Yes, and it was great that in the last 15 minutes for once we were the side who were bullying the opposition. The only reason I didn't specifically mention the hold-up play is because upper body strength is something you can work on in the gym. By contrast, the awareness of Jevani's run and the touch to be able to play such a perfectly weighted pass usually only comes from playing lots of football.

Of the above the first is only starts and the second includes sub appearances like Saturday. Only 2 games lost when Sam starts compared to 5 when he doesn't. But the really dramatic stats are those including sub appearances, showing that his impact off the bench is significant (which is really useful as presumably that's how he will be used in this fortnight of 5 games in 15 days.

Ooops, stats don't appear from the Soccerbase website. Results now copied over...
Only 2 games lost when Sam starts compared to 5 when he doesn't in broadly the same number of games. But the really dramatic stats are those including sub appearances, showing that his impact off the bench is significant (which is really useful as presumably that's how he will be used in this fortnight of 5 games in 15 days).
The stats are ( results in W-D-L format followed by %)
- for starts 7-9-2 versus 6-6-5 when he doesn't start. % are 39-50-11 as against 35-35-29.
- all games inc sub appearances its 10-10-2 versus 3-3-5 when he doesn't play at all. % are 45-45-9 compared to 23-38-38
So the stats tell us the blindingly obvious that we are a better team when Nombe plays!
