Don't get me wrong

I don't disagree that Francis played poorly against Fulham. He didn't follow his player, and could have intercepted it earlier.

But Helveg drifted 3-5 meters behind the offside line. He was on the far side from the play, and had full view of the rest of the defence. That is unforgivable...

        Even when we were still without Safri and Bentley, Francis has been off-key. (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, May 22, 19:58:03

        I agree in principle, but if he played like a loyal player he'd been treated like one. (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, May 22, 20:04:41

        Again, my memory is hazy, but McBride certainly wasn't played onside by Helveg (n/m) (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, May 22, 20:12:38
