2024/25 Dwight McNeil

[maccavennie]

I was fuming the first second it left his foot slow limp pass that looked like it was going to hit either defender

It was the greatest crappest pass that's led to an assist I think I've ever seen

Brilliant pass from McNeil. Felt it in the downtown it was that good. So looking forward to Dwight getting back on the wing and sliding Ndiaye back into center. It’s way overdue.

Yeah their defenders will be fuming with that.

Absolute pea roller

I thought start to finish it wasn’t a crap play at all. McNeil positioned himself perfectly to block the initial pass. Created space between him and his defenders. Had his head looking up the entire time. Made a perfectly weighted pass that threaded the defence. I’ll give all credit where it’s due.

Jamesesque ball that.

 

[SJB]

Good to see him back playing, we've missed him.

 

[Zatara]

The 'Leon Osman'.

 

[knowing your history]

Thought he'd messed up the pass hitting it too straight at the defender but it was inch perfect.

Season a general write off with low fitness but I'm actually excited to see him kick on under Moyes.

I know he's a marmite player on here (probably due to his close association with Dyche) but even in poor seasons Dwight still gets 6-7 goals and similar number of assists like today and set pieces and that shouldn't change next season if he plays over 30 games.

Also the type Moyes will improve with better decision making as he's done with many similar standard players in the past. He's still young enough to take more instructions on board.

I've always said find a rapid player for the right and a McNeill type the other side is perfectly fine, it's just frustration the recruitment lot can't do it in any transfer window so McNeill has to take most of that on out wide and the one thing you can't really coach is pace.

Looked like he was trying to play the ball into the path of Gana rather than through to Docoure, hence the lack of weight on the pass.

That's what I thought tbf.

But, we'll take an assist any which way they come and you can't beat an injury time winner!

Trying to work out if that pass was genius or a complete fluke.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

When a player is sprinting back it's not always easy to make that interception and he was banking more on where Doucore was going than whether the defender could make the interception or not. He hits it anywhere else and it's a goalless draw.

The fact the ball ended in the net means it was pure genius.

Does he? He is 25 years old and he has scored more than 3 in a season just once.

He gets 5/6 assists most seasons. I like him but doesn’t score near enough goals.
