I don't rate Johnson but I'm happy that's he's doing well and I've not tried to say he isn't. I have said that all the back 6 look good to me. I was dead against signing Tom Ince and then I was gutted we sold him. See how it works? That’s praising him ? As I said, you have countless posts on your thoughts on TL, yet every other player to pull a shirt on, doesn’t get anywhere near the amount of attention you give him regarded of their performance. We are not talking one or two,, you don’t like him nothing wrong with that it’s your opinion, and feel free to keep reiterating it, just looked like an obsession to me. I’ll leave you to it now though and promise not to bring it up again. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confused a bit to be honest. We're in the Tom Lawrence thread talking about Tom Lawrence, yes? And in the Forest thread I talk about Forest. In the Keogh thread about Keogh and the Davies thread about Davies. Am I doing it wrong? I think I'm doing it wrong. I read the opening post and I've took it off topic. Argh! So annoyed with myself. And this afternoon I promise to criticise Scott Carson. In the Tomori thread, obviously. I'll try to be more equal in my criticism and aim it across the team regardless of their contribution. Scott Carson is up next. ------- scapegoat 1. a person who is blamed for the wrongdoings, mistakes, or faults of others Just for those that keep saying x player is used as a scapegoat when actually they've not been blamed for the entire team result/performance and only criticised for their own.

Show me where I have said I think you are wrong for criticising him, or anything to do with you making him a scapegoat, and it has come away this way I apologise ? I just feel as it has been embedded into my mind what you think of TL because I have seen it often enough, and these seem to be higher in proportion to anything else ?

No question Lawrence has the ability to become an asset to this club,he has the skills its just the bit between his ears he has to sort out, This is absolute tosh. Frank picks players based on work ethic and what they add to the team. If he had the attitude you suggest, he wouldn’t be within a 100 miles of the first team. I like him but except he isn’t there yet by a long way. He must be working hard in training, to achieve the starts he’s had. I get the impression he’s trying too hard to impress, once on the pitch. He needs to be told that tracking back, doing the dirty work is just as impressive as a 50 yard dinky run. He has the quality, he simply needs to learn to be smarter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Booooo. Lawrence is dreadful. Created nothing today and I haven't heard his name mentioned once on SSN ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 He gets the "know he can do better but isn't" criticism which always seems far more vociferous and scathing than the "rubbish but trying" criticism or "rubbish but we've no one else criticism.

Had he done that and messed it up it would have been criticised greatly, usually in that situation he would have lost the ball so in my opinion he made the right decision to pass.
