Absolutely shocking, Nelson, Craig, Heffernan.... Its neither wonder we are so woeful, all 3 should never have kicked a ball again after last season, slow, weak, and just utter dross

The spine of the team is non-existant.

When are you going to give the man a break. Nelson did nothing wrong today. Our problem lies in midfield and again another manager has failed to realise you need legs to win games. Sibbald & Alston are fit and made light work of our mid two. Craig is a huge problem but Stubbs inability to notice that is a bigger problem. Originally Posted by Leith Green

Actually thought Nelson was ok today.
As for Craig and Heffernan......PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

Spine of the team
Sam Stanton. He should know already that Craig is slower than a month in jail. So he shouldn't have to worry about it. He takes far too long to make decisions. The problem will be Craig is probably a good lad around the club.
We need boys that are hungry and Liam Craig has not got it.Last edited by NorthNorfolkHFC; 23-08-2014 at 04:31 PM.

Nelson did great. We keep giving it to him though because nobody else has balls or wants to take the ball. It's a bloody embarrassment. Originally Posted by Pretty Boy

Stanton probably deserves his chance but will Stubbs be brave enough to drop LC. Will be interesting what he does when Robertson is also available with Scott Allen. Originally Posted by Pretty Boy

The abuse Nelson gets after every game is embarrassing. He did nothing wrong today, in fact his passing wasnt even bad.
Pathetic to single him out yet again he's played well in both the last two games.

We need pace - very slow - Kennedy looked promising though Harris has lost his confidence and Heff has never been fast and mostly a finisher - today he did neither with his chances.
Falkirk looked sharp going forward and we were slow and predictable and easy to defend against.

Again it's about leaders. We have no leaders on the park. Talk is cheap.
Craig can talk the talk but he's beginning to prove once again that he cannot walk the walk.
We lack consistency and are becoming spineless once again after only 3 games.

Couldn't agree more. Think Nelson done what was require although not faultless. Originally Posted by Pretty Boy

Pace is what we need and LC and PH don't have it. Slowed the game, we should be playing like the last five mins at that tempo until get a commanding lead.
Lacking players. Like to see Stubbs has up his sleeve or were lucky to finish top six.
