There is plenty of twaddle typed out on this forum, but come on.

Also lets ignore what we saw with our own eyes last season and just listen to what Warnock said for judging players.
Well. Djed Spence wasn't trusted enough this season to play in the Premier League.

Neco was.

Djed Spence before arriving at Forest wasn't even trusted to play in the Championship.

Twaddle? As I say, let's see who has a better career. Neco was at Liverpool from the start. That level isn't easy for a kid. International caps. What's Spence got right now? U21 caps and he's mostly on the bench?

Djeds fault for picking spurs, can’t blame him because I get the allure. But, from the moment where conte couldn’t be arsed about Djed I knew it was all downhill for the lad. Hopefully he gets his chance with some newly promoted team next year as what spurs did is nothing short of disgusting.

Died Spence was fantastic for us, Neco Williams has been awful. Neco got trusted to play in the Premier League for about 5 games, then we had to buy an urgent replacement because he made us a defensive calamity.

This is a bizarre post, that wouldn't have been out of place at the start of the season when we we're told that Neco was an upgrade on Spence to type it after what we have seen this season is utter madness.

I think Djed has a lot about him and he can deliver, but when people disrespect Neco when these players are similar styles, it's just silly.

Djed in a back 4 would get f**ked in the Premier League. Let's be honest.

When he plays in a back 3, he's going to play better like Neco has of late.

I liked djed last year but he got what he deserved being too flashy and wanting to go to spurs for champions league football after 1 season in the championship instead of being loyal to cooper for getting his career going

Is this bizarre? Spence looked good in the Championship. Just like Williams did.


Find the moments where Neco Williams reads Spence like a book.

Thats from last season, Djed Spence was in the team of the season, you maniac.
Did you see the moments where Williams stopped Spence?

Williams is not given enough credit for his defending but he stopped Spence, didn't he?

Championship level. But of course that's only last season. Maniac? Yes. I must be.

You featured a clip real showing a few particular incidents in a random game, it proves nothing it's pointless. Why would people give Williams credit for his defending in a random game last season? It's a nonsense argument. He's been absolutely hopeless defensively for us.

Died had such an impact in the Championship last season that he was voted the best rightback in the division. In the exact same competition Neco took part in.

This is all that mattered last year.

When has Williams been hopeless defensively for us? When set up in a back 4.

Would you expect Spence to do better in a back 4? Honestly? When his first thought is to plough forward?

In most of the games he's played. He was hopeless defensively against Man United yesterday in a back 5.
We only saw Djed play in a back four for us on the odd occasion last season. He did alright against Liverpool in the cup in a hugely disrupted back line. He wasn't a defensive liability, he just had to keep a lid on his rampaging runs. He was also unanimously voted better than Neco Williams last year.

Different game in the Premier League. Week in, week out.

Man United. That's a different level. We weren't set up in the best way either.

I take your thoughts on board because I also want a lot of last season's players and mentality back, but it won't happen.

Well you did ask if could play in a back 4 and he did against Liverpool the 2nd best team in the divison and he did alright. The disappointment on the night was that we had about 3 centre halfs injured so Cooper had to go with a back 4 so we lost Djed being able to go on his rampaging wing back runs. He was quite disciplined that night playing in a position he hadn't played all season.

FA Cup is different to the Premier League, unfortunately.

We can all raise our game in the cup, which Forest did last season. On a crest of a wave in all aspects.

We beat Arsenal in the cup at home. I mean, Spence was incredible then too. But think about him now against Arsenal in the Premier League.

Differerent ball game....

You do love making excuses 🤣.

The example I have provided and you where Djed Spence played against top class opposition 3 times in fact last year and did very well is ignored because it's the cup. Then we have had Neco Williams playing against all types of opposition this year and played crap, even against a relegation bound championship side and you ignore it to try and make a ludicrous point,

I can't honestly believe anybody would think Neco is a better player than Djed. Absoloute crazy talk.

Fulham fans weren't arsed at all about whether they bought Neco or not. That's how much he stood out there.

You could maybe understand the Gaslighting at the start of the season when people were doing it to cope with not signing Spence, but we've all got eyes and have seen the last two seasons unfold. It's mental.

DJed can’t get a game for Spurs so is untested at Premier League level. He now can’t get a game for his loan club.
Williams looked decent for Fulham in the championship but is getting shown up as part of a rookie team in the Premier League.

Of the Williams highlight reel. It reminded me of Danilo’s - Looked impressive in a lower level .
Djed’s highlights are better though (still in a lower level)

Let's see where they both end up at the end of their careers before we get too carried away here.

Gaslighting? Blimey. Haha. Seems like too many people are too caught up in social media and online dating right now.

You’re the one who stated that Neco was at a slightly better level in terms of footballing quality. I think having witnessed Djed last season and Neco this gaslighting is quite the apt phrase.

I’m not accusing you of psychological abuse btw, just the memories or perception of reality bit.

Who knows where their respective careers will end up, neither of us might be here to witness it. All we can really judge it on is what we have seen from both players playing for our club.

Wow. You've changed your tune a bit since last time I visited. Here's a YouTube clip of Toronto FC vs Altanta (Sat 15 April) showing Laryea's goal to equalize at 1-1. I hope this is available in the UK:
Yeah, I know it's only MLS.
I think it was the issues Richie had with our national team and TFC. Way too easy to wind up. HE seems to have control of that now. I 've always liked his pace, and he is decent technically. Sometimes his position sense is questionable too, much like Neco.
