reid and murphy

Thu Jan 10, 2019 12:34 pm

sorry guys to be negative but I don't rate either player tbh. I don't know if reid is playing in wrong position. But Josh Murphy I think is really poor imo he always gives the ball away and lacks the killer instinct. I think the best players Nw has bought have been free transfers and maybe hes not used to have millions to spend. When you think that they both cost over £20 million combined I don't think that it was money well spent. Would be interested what you guys think of them yourselves has we are over halfway through the season. Also who do you think has been our best 3 players this season so far my order is as follows don't know if you guys agree.

1) Sol Bamba
2) Neil Etheridge (close 2nd)
3) Victor Camarassa

P.s im not slagging Warnock off as we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him I think we could have spent the £20 million better. I would have gone for free agents who have proven premier league experience who would have been on higher wages. In Warnock we trust and its all down to him that we are punching above our weights in the premier league.

I was surprised over the summer we didn't try and get some free agents to fill the gaps we need.

I agree and disagree on Murphy and Reid. I think Murphy has started to struggle a bit but generally he looks like the only one who can make something happen out of nothing and teams will notice that.

The little ive seen of Reid I like but he has no place in how we set up, a strange signing really especially when so many other positions needed filling.

Reid either needs to play off a big fella or needs to play as part of a team which pass it around more than we do. He lacks physicality for the Premier league anyway and was a strange player for NW to sign.
Murphy began the season superbly but has lost his way a bit. His tracking back is poor compared to all our other wingers. I like his directness, but we have enough wingers to rest him when not performing.

Scored 21 goals last season, I know that was in the championship and cup but obviously he doesn’t suit Warnocks tactics. Stupid buy from Warnock in my eyes. Needs to play with a target man
