Sam Nombe

um thankfully player of the month Aaron Collins has kind of done that work for him and got four goals ready this season um so yeah there is some there's some bright spots for sure but definitely a lot to work on and as tradition with a poor one team you know it tends to start slow

I tell you what it's funny that you mentioned uh Sam Nombe there because I went on to a different MK pod can't

I said I think he's trash

so I'm not surprised that he's not scored any goals and I am not surprised that Collins has got the goals because I think that Collins is a really good player at this level it just hasn't worked for him at the clubs that he's been at previously so hopefully I'll say it here as well hopefully that's not me I mean the last time that I said that a player was trash it was Caden Jackson and we went to Bradford on Valentine's Day this year and he scored so kiss of death and all that Liam, one thing I do want to ask you about is your back.

So, yeah, if I was Paul Ward, I'd probably drop a bit deeper and then ideally get Wintle and Balazs and even Crowley on the ball a bit more.

get out to the wings because yeah I think Coen Bramall likes to get really far forward as a more attacking wing back so that right hand side repeater perspective from attacking side of things could be something that could be a problem for us

yeah absolutely you mentioned sort of the great form of Collins and Nombe not really scoring but but looking good does look like Collins is carrying you in terms of goals anyway four goals so far What would you say other than those two are the things that posh fans need to be wary of tomorrow in your team?

I think it's more of an old versus youth game, I guess.

And then things really started to click.

And so I think I'm wondering whether maybe, you know, you've got Nombe, you've got a new centre-back in Charlie Goode, you've got a brand new midfielder.

I'm wondering whether maybe, Kieran, there's just a lot of adjustment going on and we've seen some really good things and we've seen some pretty shit things.

So I guess, are you confident that in six weeks' time we're going to be more on the right side? We're going to be 60 minutes of good and 30 minutes of bad, maybe, or just maybe just more consistent and rather than going from one extreme to the other, I guess is what I'm trying to say.

I think we mentioned that we think League One would suit him more, and I think it definitely is showing that.

I think Wintle, he's been anonymous in a few games, but then there's been a couple of games where I think he's been absolutely outstanding.

So I think the Wigan, no, not the Wigan, the first two games, Huddersfield and Oxford I thought he was really good I think Barlasa he's just got that bit of quality but you'd maybe want him to just impose himself on games a bit more and I think Nombe has he's done a lot of good stuff without too much reward so far um I think if you look at stats and you'd probably think, bloody hell, he's not even having that many shots.

He's not holding the ball up that much.

Tony Stewart has not backed Bruce with the money, really.

We've sold Nombe, and we've not replaced the goals.

First off, we didn't even have a shot on target.

I think Cover did one straight at the goalkeeper.

He's finishing needs some work, but he's lightning quick and he's a real handful.

I think he will be a better player than Sam Nombe and we got him for free.

So like you said, sometimes it's not always about signing named players and I think a lot of people do call for that.

Rotherham have had a reset and they're similar to Barnsley, they're signing a younger profile of player.

battle there.

You had it with Sam Nombé today.

If you are to continue at centre-back, I imagine you'll come up against some real battling strikers in this division.

How do you see yourself competing on that physical level with some of those lads?

He's finishing needs some work, but he's lightning quick and he's a real handful.

I think he will be a better player than Sam Nombe and we got him for free.

So like you said, sometimes it's not always about signing named players and I think a lot of people do call for that.

Rotherham have had a reset And they're similar to Barnsley, they're signing a younger profile of player.

Um, and I think teams like Northampton have almost capitalized on it, for example.

So I'd like to think with the likes of Aaron Collins, Sam Nombe, um, you know, let's say Ben Wiles, et cetera, et cetera, that those are players who are, you know, pretty seasoned League One, League One professionals and have, you know, have proved they've got goal rec- decent goal records in this league and have, and have been basically nurtured to just press, press, press.

Um, so I, I think if, if Leicester come into the game thinking they're gonna be able to knock it around the back for 60 minutes, it's just not gonna work for them.

They're gonna get themselves in a bit of a hole early.

But Port Vale away isn't a great spot.

So I've instead settled on Sam Nombe to score any time for MK Dons versus Leicester.

That's at 3.25 with Sky Bet.

Now, firstly...

My prop pick, two units on this one.

I have a 10.5 Nottingham Forest free kick against Liverpool and I have a 10.5 Sunderland shots versus Fulham at 1.9 with Bet365.

My one unit goal scorer, Sam Nombe, to score any time for MK Doms versus Leicester.

That's a 3.25 with Sky Bet.
