Nelson has had games where he looks so composed and dominant then others where he looks lost and has a howler. 
 

Honestly think he’s just been a victim of how much of a shambles we’ve been. Put him in a proper system and I think he’d do well… that’s just my opinion anyway

 

Yeah that's what I'm saying in essence! Just doesn't take long for these promising young players to suddenly turn awful.

Doesn’t help that this squad has zero leaders in it. Someone like Nelson could benefit so much from a Morgan/Huth type character alongside him. 
 

I think for the likes of Page, Monga & Aluko in any other season we’d be very happy with how they’d got on. It’s just they’ve been thrown in when the club is self destructing so everyone and everything is under a spotlight.
 

Page for me has been the best out of the 3 thinks he’s come on a lot since the start of the season

Yeah I like Aluko a lot too but just hasn't been given many chances to impress as of yet.

I think awful is a strong word for a player who has largely played well despite being partnered with Vestergaard and Okoli for the most part.

 

At the very least, even if he plays just as badly as Faes, Vestergaard and Okoli he is young and only on relatively low wages, which still makes him an upgrade. As an added benefit he also plays better than those three on average.

Yes possibly harsh! I like Nelson and was excited to see him come into the team but my overarching point being none of these kids are going to thrive from how hopeless we are collectively!

Young players can be inconsistent.  It's part of developing.  I would say that a good prospect can easily have bad games, but a bad prospect is less likely to be able to have good games   if that makes sense.

Probably learn more from the poor game than the good to be fair especially as a defender.

Tonights Result - Thursday 19th February

 

Europa League - Round of 32

 

Bilal El Khannouss (8.3 + 2 goals + MOTM - 72 mins) - Stuttgart 4-1 Celtic

Do stuttgart have an obligation to buy Bilal?

Could do with the money this summer.

Sooooooooooooooooooo....

Jaw breaker Coulibaly gets his first start in forever for Sassuolo and they win comfortably 3-0.

 

On the face of it that sounds great.  Unfortunately Woyo got himself booked in the 17th minute and was subbed off in the first half (36 mins) after giving away another free kick with the score at 0-0.

Yes

afaik the deal is done before end June so it’s in this seasons accounts. 

 

I believe it’s around 20m so not a huge amount in the plus column.

Has jake evans been playing at Northampton? 

Came off the bench a couple times and looked ok in limited minutes.

 

Started once in the papa John's trophy on the wing and looked like a good goal threat, he scored but went a bit early on his run.
