I was struck in the Chelsea match how much running we did, including and especially Vicente. I do not see this in Dobbie.

Danny Cullip, for all his shortcomings

What shortcomings?!

 

[JBizzle]

El-Abd

Definately El-Abd

 

[Chesney Christ]

What shortcomings?!

Inability to control a football, lack of pace, poor distribution, poor treatment of own team-mates (generally calling them "c*nts" every five minutes).

 

[Icy Gull]

What shortcomings?!

I think Chesney Christ answered that quite eloquently for me

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Perhaps weve got too many and so they are cancelling each other out?

Greer is captain but Crofts and Hammond are all former captains and known as influential in their time. Cant comment on Calde and other but perhaps they were before. if you have too many of one type of player that can cancel out the advantage... too many captains spoil the teamwork?

There is nobody rallying the troops and driving them forward at the moment. I mean a player that goes around bollocking, congratulating and generally looking like he is in control of all around him, with the others looking to him for inspiration. Fecks sake we even have team mates squaring up to each other, not a good sign.

LuaLua can be, but not sure what has happened to him over the last year.

Gus doesn't play him.

Thats my point. Greer may not be commanding because there are other players who behave like captains in the team... which would certianly result in certain players squaring up to each other.

perhaps Greer is just not doing his job as captain.

Really interesting question, answered for me with Ipswich at home, no one stepped up to the mark. If i was pick someone it's Croft for me all day long. I think Gordon has been excellent for us since he joined, only now is there a doubt for me.

Admittedly I have not been to many games (Hull, Derby away and watched Blackpool on stream) - but I have seen Greer lay into team mates for things which aren't actually their fault, and in some cases were actually his own fault (Hammond missed header at Derby where he shoved him out the way, his OG where he lambasted Koosh)

I see this as frustration with himself though, but is that frustration spilling out and destroying his leadership?

To inspire your team mates doesn't just involve laying into them when they have done a mistake!

Can we have one of these please Tony?

Indeed. These "bollockings" are often counter-productive. I don't its helped anyone's confidence this season, with Greer dishing out hammerings to his team-mates all the time, which people on NSC have been critical of.

I think that the inspiration should come from the captain and I don't see that from Gordon Greer if you compare him to the likes of Nobby Horton Tony Grealish Paul Roger etc.
