Why does CMS get off so lightly with our fans?

You could never fault his effort. Most fans don't really mind if a player is shit as long as he's trying his best.
Personally I think CMS is shit but I'm always desperate for the guy to prove me wrong - he seems a very decent sort, especially for a professional footballer.

He puts a lot of effort in. Fans can't abide a lazy player or one that is perceived to be lazy.

He doesn't with me. Sad to say it, as I, like most people, would love to see him turn the corner. But we can't wait forever for him to find the key at this level, and from what we've seen, he's just not up to it. And, I'm afraid, is getting worse. His first touch is awful & his instincts that- at Peterborough- would have seen him constantly in the right place at the right time, has deserted him.

To be complete shit this thread should have been a poll

Because he tries to make the most of what ability he has - that's as much as any player can do. He didn't force us to pay Peterborough £2m+ for him 4 years ago; there were a number of clubs interested at that price.
Couldnt agree more I think you sum up how I feel. He nearly got a hatrick last night, 2 fouls and no touches having been on the pitch 2 minutes. I thought he might get the hatrick with a third foul, but as normal he dissappointed me.
Don't buy this: Ashley Barnes put in a huge amount of effort, he'd do more than his fair share of defending - far more than CMS does - and he got slagged off a fair proportion of people on NSC.
So effort alone doesn't cut it ... I reckon it's the hair

Better than best, a good logo for a Yankee burger chain?
The fact that I am counting now to 25 games without a goal shows I am not one of the ones that let him off.
In fact, I am making plans to get the Queen to send him a telegram when he hits the magic 100

I think CMS gets off so lightly because he makes a point of applauding the fans at the end of the game, no other reason.

I'd like to think (hope) that after all this time, and especially now we're in the post-Burke era, somebody at the Albion will make the decision to cut our losses on that one. It's simply never going to happen for him.

CMS doesn't get grief from me, because I don't see him as a lone striker.
He is a player (like Baldock) who has made his name playing as one of a pair, yet we have either stuck him up front on his own and isolated him pumping ball into his head against centre halves 12 inches taller than him, or played him out wide. He is not that sort of player.
If he played regularly up front as one of a front pair (not just 10 or 15 minutes when we are chasing a game), and he still didn't produce results, then I think he would get a lot more stick than he does.
But as not one of our managers has played to his strength, that's why I think it's unfair to judge him.

There are few with this view, my only observation is "shouldn't he be able to control the ball, regardless of how he is played?"

Don't wait for me!
He tries, but he's not good enough. 3 new strikers please Mr Bloom.
