Tielemans63 Posted 30 March 2013 Share Posted 30 March 2013 Mods, you may want to delete this, I don't know. Just passing on something I heard. Not feeling much better about LCFC this morning but remembered something I hadn't really thought about for a couple of weeks and thought I'd bring it to the Foxestalk table and see what people think. I'm not one for rumour-mongering by any stretch but to me this makes a few things add up. Basically, I go to more or less every home game with my best mate and his brother. On the day of the Wednesday game I couldn't make it so he took a young lad who he works with instead. Anyways, a couple of days after the game we're talking about how shit the performance was and my mate mentioned that the kid who went with him had been talking about a major bust-up between Nugent and Wood after the Leeds game. He was claiming that he knows a couple of the academy lads quite well and that he'd heard that a bit of banter between Nugent and Wood had escalated to the point that several players got invlolved and had to separate them. We laughed it off as a young lad trying to sound like he had connections. At the time and up until last night, I'd not only called bullshit but had then gone and forgot about this story completely. The only reason I remembered is because, watching the game last night, I noticed that not only were Nugent and Wood not making runs and working for each other, they barely communicated in the 80-odd minutes they were up front together. A month ago they looked like they'd clicked instantly and were looking deadly as they complimented each other's styles - a month on and they're playing like strangers. Now I'm wondering if something did happen - It might also explain why team spirit has gone from sky-high into nose dive. Not saying that this lad has the full story but the evidence suggests there might be an element of truth to what he said after all. Anyone heard the same thing?

theessexfox Posted 30 March 2013 Share Posted 30 March 2013 I reckon they're good mates, having a bet on who can play the sh1ttest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munshi Posted 30 March 2013 Share Posted 30 March 2013 When we had a 3 on 1 at the beggining of the game, wood was open in the box and calling for it but nuge just carried on and took a shot from outside the box. Not saying anythings happened but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying anythings happened but you never know. Having said that, Nugent also seemed to try to play in Wood early on in the game despite having the opportunity to shoot.

Charl91 Posted 30 March 2013 Share Posted 30 March 2013 Didn't Yorke and Cole hate each other? Don't think so - I think Cole and Sherringham did though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Fox Posted 30 March 2013 Share Posted 30 March 2013 All the players think NFP, Wellend and Gallagher are c**ts get rid of them and Up The football league we go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 30 March 2013 Share Posted 30 March 2013 Don't think so - I think Cole and Sherringham did though. Ahh, that's right - knew two of them did though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Permafrost Posted 30 March 2013 Share Posted 30 March 2013 Nonsense rumour, or not, it's the kind of situation that a good manager wouldn't just sort out but get the best out of. Clearly there's something wrong with that partnership compared with 2 months ago. I'm not saying Pearson is the cause of it, but he is in the best position within our club to resolve it. Maybe the loan of Harry Kane was supposed to have an effect - but that looks like poor judgement too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acooling08 Posted 30 March 2013 Share Posted 30 March 2013 They are just 2 players that are: a) Badly off form b) Playing in front of a midfield at the moment that is also off form and only producing 2 or 3 chances a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc_star Posted 30 March 2013 Share Posted 30 March 2013 They are just 2 players that are: a) Badly off form b) Playing in front of a midfield at the moment that is also off form and only producing 2 or 3 chances a game. That's about the size of it, people love to read stuff into situations, which mainly arise from awful form. Wood couldn't trap a bag of cement and his ability to flick it out-wide, or hold it up to allow the midfield to join in attacks, or knock down for his strike partner is 100% non-existent. When Wood starts, with his form, we're already playing with 10 men If there was something unworkable between Wood+Nugent - we've got enough players up front for them not to have to play together, especially as they're so appalling together for a while now.

Happy Fox Posted 30 March 2013 Share Posted 30 March 2013 I would rather persist with Wood than have Vardy or Waghorn anywhere near the starting line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whoareyaaa Posted 30 March 2013 Share Posted 30 March 2013 I think there is something in this... You could tell by there body language that something wasn't right, at one point you could simply tell by Nugents expression. I think something has happened between the pair imo, which is likely why Wood was missing for a game or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsell1976 Posted 30 March 2013 Share Posted 30 March 2013 Doesn't matter wether its wood, nugent, waghorn, vardy, with the service they are receiving even the top strikers would struggle to score, none are longball style players, but due to the lack of ability in midfield, we resort to the longball, which we lose out on, and create no clear chances, it's frustrating to watch, but I bet it's more frustrating for wood and nugent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vardinhio Posted 30 March 2013 Share Posted 30 March 2013 yeh they have had a tiff and now they don't want to score, ridiculous statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W LCFC Posted 30 March 2013 Share Posted 30 March 2013 Both players are playing extremely poorly at the moment. There movement is absolutely crap. I am hoping that Pearson drops one of them and gives Schlupp a go upfront. He can't do any worse surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
