Have you changed your mind about Niasse?

[Zatara]

When Niasse signed, Martinez said he needed time to slowly adjust to the league and be ready for the following season. He was of course dropped then sent to Hull where he scored and assisted a few, most notably against the RS.

Martinez took a huge amount of stick and a large amount of posters were really negative about Niasse.

In your opinion, where would we have been this season without Niasse's cameos and where would we have been if he had started every game up to when we signed Tosun?

..yep, got him totally wrong and delighted to admit it. He provided a most effective impact when his team most needed it and I will never forget that. I like forwards who give defenders a difficult time.

 

[Seathestars]

Got to admire his attitude

In the same way people got it 'wrong' about Straquilasi.

He won me over. Never thought I'd say that. One of the very few to actually show some fight and spirit wearing our shirt. Not good enough to be a regular starter, but I wouldn't have any problem with him remaining as an option to bring from the bench

Martinez took a punt on a long shot. We signed him on the back of a player of the month award or something.

But he has been a breath of fresh air our African Prince.

Another one of Martinez's genius signings

Obviously he doesn't look like a clever, skilful player, but he is so effective, fit, powerful and relentless. We need him and say 3-4 'leaders' - if he was a regular selection, he would be a leader - type player, cos of his amazing spirit, and its the type of Howard, Cahill, Big Dunc etc - need more players like that = but he obviously isn't first choice, or the right quality to get us into europe..but still, if he's happy to play 15 games and maybe 15 subs appearances, I think he's got a very important place in the squad.

I think our 'average' players make up for their skill with spirit and attitude, and they are as valuable as big money or big star players

Not on the pitch long but he understands what the fans want to see and give his all, well done Oumar!

 

[roydo]

Love him. Attitude, commitment. but limited.

Bet defenders hate him.

Martinez would have benefitted from his workrate when things were going pear shaped.

He plays like a fan.

Yes.

Hes worse than I could have ever imagined.

 

[Tez]

No. The whole ground chanting the name of a player yesterday because he runs around.

Good attitude, terrible footballer. A symptom of what is wrong with this club.

Participation trophy player.
