MGW under Dyche, Woan and Stone

Vital Reserves Team
I believe we'll see MGW developing into (even more of the) Nigel Clough of this generation under Dyche, Woan and Stone.

Underappreciated by others, loved by Forest fans.

He's always been important to us, but I believe we already can see how he's filling the Clough role in the Dyche system.

The potential development of our four wingers, coached by Woan and Stone, will benefit MGW immensely.

Life is good.

Up the Reds!

If we are drawing comparisons from that era, I would say he is more Neil Webb than Nigel.

MGW has a lot of similarities with how Webb played, and now he is weighing in with his share of goals as well, which will not do his valuation any harm whatsoever.

Young Nigel was different class; he had everything - courage, awareness, passing ability and scored goals for fun, the only thing he did not have was the pace all really top class strikers had, and that makes what he achieved all the more remarkable to me.

I would be loathe to criticise MGW for his form dropping off at the end of last season, he suffered from being over played like a few did.

There was clearly something wrong this season, though, and we can all guess what that was; whatever it was Dyche seems to have sorted it out.

Along with Milenkovic, Murillo and Anderson, he is going to be key to how we fare between now and the end of the season, having a strong spine to the team will be key to playing with any level of consistency.

He obviously didn't respond to whatever it was Ange was trying to do. Dyche has watched him many times from the main stand and is playing him to his strengths. It's working very well.

He had a nightmare Summer personally and professionally, and was embarrassed by the media to make it worse.

He needed something, and Nuno didn't bother and Ange obviously didn't have whatever he needed.

Its awesome that Dyche seems to have it.

I think both Ange and Nuno played him too deep. By the time he got to the oppositions penalty box he was knackered. We get a better use of his creativity, when he's further up field.

I agree he was played too deep, but you aren't serious about him being knackered, are you?

I remember reading an old football autobiography by a midfield player called Eamon Dunphy

He said theres 2 types of centre midfielder

An enforcer workhorse or a creative footballer

And that its virtually impossible to be both

Playing deep was stopping the real strength of MGW which has to be creativity and threat

He looks like he has abundant energy but nobody can show that level both deep and forward and in between

Hes got the right role now i believe
 
He looks like he is enjoying himself under Dyche which has led to his form returning. He isn’t always looking to do too much or overcomplicate, just move the ball quickly into the right areas.
 
V Leeds he played almost like second striker. Pressed two CB’s and sometimes higher up pitch than Jesus. Deeper v Liverpool but circumstances. The flicks have disappeared and he delivers simple balls quickly and makes space. Still can’t shoot though but strike was clean and firm at weekend. Not on free kick or corner duty.

That's how he is now being coached. There was that video last week where he was told to stop over elaborating and get the shot off.

I think the coaching setup which is now in place is helping the whole squad. There's a lot of emphasis on "pass and move", and getting shots away early.

I'm now looking forward to seeing if our offensive set pieces (because they have been atrocious at times) become attacking set pieces.
