Are you Marshy in disguise?
Gardner and Ince looked good today, as they did against Wigan. JFC didn't.

Yep, thought he was amongst our better players today (not saying a lot, I know). You also saw the sainted Paddy's airshot today, I assume?

Didnt think he had a bad game either or in the past games, in fact he put through a couple of nice passes today only they didnt know what to do with it .

This is along the lines of - you don't know enough about football and hence can't see what he is doing. Lets accept that you are correct. Please could you explain exactly which aspects of JFC's game were good today.

Some don't rate him because they don't think he is flair enough.
They like relatively ineffectual players like McCourt and Lua Lua because they are more exciting because there is the thought that they might do something special (but usually don't) they both lose the ball a lot, don't create many chances for our other players (no more than JFC imo) but JFC is an easy target for their frustrations and an easy scapegoat for poor results to be pinned on to.
He is a young, solid and fairly reliable player and has the potential to play at a higher level but like so many of our players who have gone before him, some just can't bring themselves to give his performances the credit it deserves and to give him their support.
It seems that since the dark days at the Goldstone, some need a hate figure at the club and now Bellotti and Archer have gone, it has become people like Barber, Burke and a selection of 1st team players over the last few seasons (like El-abd, Barnes and JFC. Some people have forgotten what it is to get behind and support a team as it is far easier to be critical and negative instead, especially when thinks aren't going as well as they would like.

What were his bad aspects? Granted that cross was terrible but people are allowed one or two mistakes. I saw him misplace one other pass but other than that he kept possession every time and kept the ball moving and held his position. What else can he do apart from score a 25 yard screamer from his one shot he got from that range?

Don't think I said anything along those lines. I will throw it back and say what did he do wrong (bar the mis-kick, but every player is allowed one of those are they not)?

Player makes a mistake - what a shocker.
He had a decent game up until that point. His unfortunate incident resulted with the following disgusting comment being shouted out by someone in the North "Im going to break your f*cking legs Caskey you c**t".

Since the noise came from behind me, I cant give a row or number. But N1F towards the back.

Incredible drivel on here about JFC again. Not his best game but like previous posterS have said, just focus on him for one game. He's very busy and very tidy doing the job he is asked to do... sit and pass it short. Dale Stephens is a daft comparison. Totally different player.
Funny listening to some of the people behind me laughing at the news that Barnes had scored. "Barn door had scored!", "It must have come off his arse" etc. He just secured three points in the prem you twats. When will people admit they are wrong?
One point about our midfield today, two 22 year olds and a 20 year old. All English, all getting games at a good level. I bet at least two of them will get to do a Barnes and laugh from up high at the small minded idiots on NSC

I thought Barnes was quality, I also think JFC is not up to it.
Where does that put me on your opinonmeter?

Is keeping the more experienced Holla out of the team and doesn't give it away in our own half like McCourt. He's learning. If our strikers could score this thread wouldn't exist.

If JFC showed the quality of Ravel Morrison another young midfielder then I would agree with some of the posts on here.

Munkfish, this post is just spot on. We certainly have some true football illiterates in our midst at the moment.
