Shouldn't you be getting behind the team instead of criticising individual players?? I think Jamie adds to a game and we are in a total different scenario being in the Premiership so it will take time for any of the players to adjust. We should be getting behind the team not finding fault.

Not seen such Bravery!
When has NSC ever not found fault ? The knifemen already target Bong, Skalak and Hemed, so why should others be immune ?
How do their goal records compare?
Yes but we are a different ball game now! The team needs to gain confidence and IMO we should be getting behind them.

I agree in general, but because of the merciless targeting of Bong, Skalak and Hemed by the NSC knifemen then surely, to be even handed, the rest of the squad isn't immune from comment ?

Surely only an issue if they come on NSC?
I don't hear much groaning at games only support.

I'll be honest, he's never been my favourite player, but he is actually only a back up. Had Brown not been injured, then Murphy would have been on the bench. It's his role as a 20 min sub which is where he adds most value in my view. he works well against tired defences and stretches the play well on the break whilst also providing defensive cover.
Realistically, and I'm likely to be wrong, but I see our LW order in this order from now as Izqiuerdo, March/Brown, Murphy, Skalak/Achennach.

Because it's a forum, isn't the purpose to discuss?

I think there are some posters that just think it's about enjoying the ride and what will be will be. I doubt TB has the same attitude and he is clearly willing to spend reasonable amounts to ensure we have a fighting chance of being here next year.
Hmmm, I'm not so sure (ESL), although I guess it's a chicken and egg scenario.
Certain players are readily audibly groaned at, for the slightest mistake, while others can do no wrong.
As said I have no idea if it's the game spilling onto here or visa versa, but I'll hazard a guess it's a bit of both.
I'm all for criticism but repeatedly targeting the same players on here, saying the same things while blindly refusing to accept their strengths, has to be counterproductive.
No it isn't.
I agree to an extent, but Brown seems to be preferred over Murphy when fit. It's not necessarily about who is better, just who I feel in above whom in the pecking order.
Re last para, don't agree with you (sorry). How can it be counterproductive? We're just 'muppets from the stand', all with an opinion.
Inevitably we all have our favourites and villains, and therefore the good and bad for certain players will always be exaggerated.
I rarely hear people having a go audibly, though admittedly I have in the past, last one was Gardner, perceived lack of effort as two opponents jogged by him.....

Not sure I agree completely. Whilst some players (like Ashley Barnes previously) get a reputation and harshly judged most people on this forum are praising the players being discussed like Murphy for his good qualities but some stating it's still not good enough for the standard we need and expect if we are to be competitive.
What's the point of the forum if we don't debate and critic the team? If this was always a love in it would get boring and we'd all end up watching Eastenders every night instead.
And if people don't like a discussion why not just start another thread and ignore this one?

You've clearly not read my post.
