indierich06 Posted 22 November 2012 Posted 22 November 2012 I'd quite like to see Waggy and Vardy together, could be an interesting partnership. Of course, everyone on here will have written them off before they've even played a game together though.

Of course, everyone on here will have written them off before they've even played a game together though. They have already played together last Saturday albeit for 60 minutes but in that time we scored 4 goals, so it isn't all doom and gloom having said that if feasible finance permitting bringing in another striker today on loan could be of benefit depending on how long Nugent is out for.

steveherbe Posted 22 November 2012 Posted 22 November 2012 I reckon Vardy and Waggy could be good together. Should run Wednesday ragged. Pace pace and more pace, it's the future! Nuge is too old and slow
Adster Posted 22 November 2012 Posted 22 November 2012 They've just signed the striker to solve all their problems... Sidibe checks in PUBLISHED 11:55 22nd November 2012 Sheffield Wednesday have signed striker Mamady Sidibe on a 28-day emergency loan deal. The powerful striker joins the Owls on a temporary deal from Premier League side Stoke City. Mali international Sidibe first broke onto the scene in English football with Swansea in July 2001, scoring seven goals in 26 league starts before moving on to join, then second tier side, Gillingham the following summer. The 32-year-old remained at the Priestfield Stadium for three years making 115 appearances and scoring 13 goals along the way before joining Stoke on a free transfer in summer 2005. The towering striker has since made 186 appearances, of which 48 have come in the Premier League, for Tony Pulis’ side scoring 26 goals and played a key role in the club’s promotion to the top flight in 2007/08. Sidibe is eligible to feature for the Owls against Leicester City this weekend and will wear shirt number 22 during his S6 stint.

Adster Posted 22 November 2012 Posted 22 November 2012 What a shite striker Scored the other day for Stoke's Development team against Spurs.
steveherbe Posted 22 November 2012 Posted 22 November 2012 Scored the other day for Stoke's Development team against Spurs. Yeah, but Blyth scored for our development squad - and he's currently at Burton Albion! Means FA. Zak and Wes will sort him out, at least he's just a big unit, we can deal with those, it's the pacey bastards that trouble us. - Aint that right 'Sol the wall Bamba'?? (Sol hates nippy forwards!!)
MPH Posted 22 November 2012 Posted 22 November 2012 I dont know if i have him mixed up with someone else, but doesnt he often play well against us?
Corky Posted 22 November 2012 Posted 22 November 2012 Ricardo Fuller does, you might be thinking of him?
MPH Posted 22 November 2012 Posted 22 November 2012 Ricardo Fuller does, you might be thinking of him? yeah you might be right.... I just had this sinking feeling when i heard he had signed for them that he was going to score the winning goal!
ealingfox Posted 22 November 2012 Posted 22 November 2012 I dont know if i have him mixed up with someone else, but doesnt he often play well against us? He scored a late winner against us for Gillingham in 2003, are you thinking of that? EDIT: http://news.bbc.co.u...v_1/2648657.stm
steveherbe Posted 22 November 2012 Posted 22 November 2012 yeah you might be right.... I just had this sinking feeling when i heard he had signed for them that he was going to score the winning goal! Only if Wednesday 1 City 6 counts as a win for Wednesday!!
kingfox Posted 22 November 2012 Posted 22 November 2012 Wouldn't be surprised if Sidibe lasted as long as Michael Keane did for us in his loan spell. Sidibe is so injury prone, he needs to be wrapped in cotton wool.
NewburyFox Posted 22 November 2012 Posted 22 November 2012 They've also signed some kid at full back, Jeremy Helan. Hopefully he starts and Lloyd has a field day
Fox92 Posted 22 November 2012 Posted 22 November 2012 Nugent is a massive, massive loss Yeah, I totally agree.
kingfox Posted 22 November 2012 Posted 22 November 2012 Nugent is a massive, massive loss We have Futacs, his goalscoring record for us is decent.
Matt Posted 22 November 2012 Posted 22 November 2012 Nugent's out - We're fucked. "But we won 6-0 with 4 other scorers from Nugent"....Yeah we'll see if that happens again. Waghorn - You've scored, you've got the monkey off your back - Now prove your confidence is back, prove your place in the team, do the job.
Bluetintedspecs Posted 23 November 2012 Posted 23 November 2012 Nuge will be a miss, we are far from a one man team though! Hope to see Vardy and Waggy start coupled with on form Lloydy and Knockys creative flair the pace and power will be too much for Wednesday IMO
indierich06 Posted 23 November 2012 Posted 23 November 2012 Nugent's out - We're fucked. "But we won 6-0 with 4 other scorers from Nugent"....Yeah we'll see if that happens again. Waghorn - You've scored, you've got the monkey off your back - Now prove your confidence is back, prove your place in the team, do the job. Are we really? Let's see what the stats say. We've managed to score in every single game but one so far this season and out of the 9 wins we've managed so far, five of them came without goals from Nugent, meaning he hasn't scored in 55% of the games we've won. Out of the 29 league goals we've scored this season, he's got 9 - meaning he's scored 31% of our goals. Significant, but he's hardly scoring all of our goals and winning us points on his own. This team has got plenty of goals in it to cope with his absence for a couple of games, especially against two teams on poor runs of form and at the wrong end of the table. I would agree it's not ideal for him to be injured, but it's hardly the massive disaster everyone's making it out to be.

It's not just his Goalscoring which will be a miss for me; he can link up midfield to attack really well, and is generally just a more intelligent striker than Vardy and Waghorn. Who knows though.
Happy Fox Posted 23 November 2012 Author Posted 23 November 2012 I am confident we will still score goals it isn't as if Nugent is our only goalscorer yes he will be a miss but it is wise on NP's part not to exacerbate his injury, but we have Knockaert, King, Dyer, Vardy, Marshall and a lesser extent Waghorn to score the goals.

Who knows though. I think Waghorn and Vardy's link up play is actually much, much better than Nugent's and they're a big part of the reason he's scored so many goals this season. Nugent is a good goalscorer, but I'd hardly say he links up well with the rest of the team, and that doesn't seem to be the role he is asked to play anyway. He puts himself about a bit and gets himself in the right place at the right time - thankfully he's got a midfield and a strike partner who lay on chance after chance for him. A lot of the time, Vardy/Waghorn do a lot of the hard work for him and he gets in there and applies the finish. If anything, Nugent probably should have a few more goals by now, he missed some absolute sitters, especially at the start of the season.
