Derbyram1 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 As the title says....why are some players immune to criticism?? I'm am referring to the likes of Nugent, Wiemann, Ledley, Wisdom when in my eyes players like Lawrence get called out time after time when he is the only player having a bloody go, yes he does not always come up with the goods put look at his goals and assists and then compare it to Wiemann and Nugent who as our "no.9" should be our main goal threat but what is it now.....7 goals!! We never learn, how many people wanted Vydra out last season after not giving him time to settle, now he is our POTY (possibly) and we still barrage forums and social media with calls for Lawrence to be shifted out.....give the lad time, he will come good. Ledley is hailed as our defensive saviour, I would swap him for a player like John Eustace any day of the week....same goes for Wisdom, clinging on to what he did for us in "that" season and now proving to be no better than Christie. Anyway, that's my mini rant over....for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ledley seems immune, but if Thorne had put that perfomance in that Ledley did on Saturday we would have several pages talking about how hes finished etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Tibbs Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Ledley's a weird one, has looked one of our better players but no hiding from the fact he was awful on Saturday. I agree in the main though, I think the reason Vydra and Carson escape major criticism is because they are match winners at either end pretty frequent over the season. Nugent, Wisdom and Weimann are likeable but all pretty average, they don't affect the game as much as they should do. Consistently they're 6/10 most weeks, none of them make big mistakes like others players which is probably why they don't shot down as much. There's 10 million pounds spent on these three players which just tells you everything you need to know about our shoddy transfer dealings.

Andicis Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I think Weimann is dodging the criticism because recently he has been playing quite well. He certainly has been our better winger, and so I think that is what is keeping his criticism free. I don't think Wisdom has done too much wrong either, but he could certainly be better going forward. Nugent definitely deserves some criticism for recent performances, he hasn't been scoring like he should be. Nugent probably gets off because he is a likeable person, but I certainly would like a new striker in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuwtfly Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Don’t think there’s one player in this squad who hasn’t been criticised at one point or another. We are a forum of equality and we will slag everyone off...equally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkeram7 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Forsyth is still worse than all of them put together. Had a terrible season, he gets all of my criticism.. It still baffles me that the ball hit him in the face and cost us goals in two home games in a row. How can you be a professional footballer and be that bad ?

Comrade 86 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Some players are easier targets - the fee we paid, the fact that they take risks, the way they run up to take a free kick - there's any number of reasons why some folk choose to single them out for 'special treatment', often before they've had any chance to prove themselves at all. Of course there's also the sheep syndrome whereby those without their own opinions catch a ride on those of others, even if those other opinions happen to be steaming hot garbage.

I agree I really don’t get how some fans get straight on Lawrence’s back,at least he tries to take people on and with a bit of confidence will be a big player next year. Totally agree on Wisdom what has happened to him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
