I guess his worry is...

that next time we might switch off when it's 3-0 or 2-0 so he's gone over the top to make a point.

In any sort of management you have to know when to praise and when to be critical... and to what degree to get a response - I think Grant still has something to learn about people managment.

- 5 nil up (or whatever it was) - why fucking not go for a hattrick.... (NCFC) - phrankin, Aug 15, 15:28:24
  - because Dave Striker was unmarked at the back post iwth the goalie on the opposite side (NCFC) - commonsense, Aug 15, 15:40:25
    - he is a hungry goalgetter and the game was won (NCFC) - phrankin, Aug 15, 15:42:26
    - *with (n/m) (NCFC) - commonsense, Aug 15, 15:41:12
  - Why have a go at a manager who's been doing a decent job thus far? (NCFC) - Dog, Aug 15, 15:33:53
    - having a go at Cureton who hjas just got me 2 goals on his debut (NCFC) - phrankin, Aug 15, 15:39:44
    - bit like Grant then arent I - and you arent liking it (NCFC) - phrankin, Aug 15, 15:38:26
      - I suspect it's just a front for the public to assert his authority on the club (NCFC) - tim berry, Aug 15, 15:41:14
        
        it was his fucking debut..... and he played well!!! (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Aug 15, 15:41:55
        
        Yeah, but I guess he's saying 'even a great performance is not good enough, I want better. (NCFC) - tim berry, Aug 15, 15:43:59
        
        so have a go at him.... if he manages like that at a higher level (NCFC) - phrankin, Aug 15, 15:45:26
        
        I imagine it's just a temporary approach. He has to get the club out of a rut... (NCFC) - tim berry, Aug 15, 15:49:06
        
        why single out Cureton? for a snap decision to shoot (NCFC) - phrankin, Aug 15, 15:50:50
        
        Because he's the perfect choice to make an example of. (n/m) (NCFC) - tim berry, Aug 15, 16:00:46
        
        why, the appalling second half was hardly his fault (NCFC) - phrankin, Aug 15, 16:02:08
        
        Grant knows that, we know that... (NCFC) - tim berry, Aug 15, 16:10:45
        
        He does the same to Hucks as well (NCFC) - earlydoors, Aug 15, 15:52:58
        
        That's why he's not at a higher level yet. (NCFC) - Dog, Aug 15, 15:47:43
        
        That's it... (NCFC) - Dog, Aug 15, 15:42:37
        
        I'm just waiting for the witty 'Grunt' to come out of the locker again (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Aug 15, 15:44:22
        
        lol Chris Martin at left wing.. (NCFC) - phrankin, Aug 15, 15:45:53
        
        Yes, yes you have said that four or five times now. I give up. You win. (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Aug 15, 15:48:53

        According to someone I was speaking to at the game last night... (NCFC) - Brom, Aug 15, 15:53:52
        
        fair play then! (NCFC) - phrankin, Aug 15, 15:55:26
        
        so did Henderson - were his coaches retarded because (NCFC) - phrankin, Aug 15, 15:52:05
        
        Duffy isn't the manager though, Grant is (n/m) (NCFC) - Brom, Aug 15, 15:54:08
        
        just showing duffys crudentials.. lol (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Aug 15, 15:54:34
        
        mature - nope, disappointed in Grants management (NCFC) - phrankin, Aug 15, 15:44:21
- JC really was in the wrong IMO (NCFC) - Yellalee, Aug 15, 15:09:57
  - Last night I thought he was right to shoot. Now I think he should have 'given' Dave a goal (n/m) (NCFC) - andrew, Aug 15, 15:15:37
    - on for a hat trick... 5 goals to the good.. (NCFC) - phrankin, Aug 15, 15:29:35
  - obviously meant 'what i hope it doesn't do' - Brom knew... (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Aug 15, 15:11:37
- Where does he disagree with anything Grant said there? (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 15, 15:06:56

    - You have to laugh (NCFC) - yarmyyarmy, Aug 15, 15:21:38
      - I guess his worry is... (NCFC) - Pixelman, Aug 15, 15:30:20
        
        it was curetons fucking debut.. and he scored 2 good goals (NCFC) - phrankin, Aug 15, 15:31:35
        
        Giving Martin a run-out last night was much more sensible than playing Chadwick again (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 15, 15:35:01
        
        what at left wing - where he looked crap last season (NCFC) - phrankin, Aug 15, 15:39:04
        
        yes, at left-wing (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 15, 15:42:26
        
        yes the game was won - so why have a go at cureton for going for a hattrick??? (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Aug 15, 15:42:56
        
        because his team mate could have had a tap in and it's a team game... (n/m) (NCFC) - blindasabat, Aug 15, 15:47:59
        
        so critisize, in public, after his good performance on his debut (NCFC) - phrankin, Aug 15, 15:49:11
        
        well he's gone further than either you or i have (n/m) (NCFC) - blindasabat, Aug 15, 15:56:31
        
        lol true (NCFC) - phrankin, Aug 15, 16:01:37
        
        not really (NCFC) - blindasabat, Aug 15, 16:07:48
        
        true slagging him off in the press may have made him a better player (NCFC) - phrankin, Aug 15, 16:15:22
        
        at a time when his team mate who was in more need of a goal was in a better position (n/m) (NCFC) - blindasabat, Aug 15, 16:17:52
        
        you have a split second to make the decision - he is a poacher (NCFC) - phrankin, Aug 15, 16:24:24
        
        so let's hope he can learn from that mistake... (n/m) (NCFC) - blindasabat, Aug 15, 16:26:24
        
        if he passed to Brown however (NCFC) - phrankin, Aug 15, 16:27:09
        
        as Brown wasn't on the pitch at that point, no (NCFC) - blindasabat, Aug 15, 16:33:18
        
        lol - I guess it was deserved then... (NCFC) - phrankin, Aug 15, 16:36:21
        
        i hope so (NCFC) - blindasabat, Aug 15, 16:46:27
        
        What's better though - making an example of JC (NCFC) - Yellalee, Aug 15, 16:05:16
        
        seems like picking out anybody for specific lambasting (NCFC) - phrankin, Aug 15, 16:12:57
        
        Did you see the game? You honestly say you could not pick fault and criticize any aspect? (NCFC) - Yellalee, Aug 15, 16:14:38
        
        I was at the game behind the barclay end goal (NCFC) - phrankin, Aug 15, 16:22:22
        
        Croft did do well - what I wrote sounds to critical (NCFC) - phrankin, Aug 15, 16:26:18
      - AGreed (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Aug 15, 15:26:43

        ... (NCFC) - Yellalee, Aug 15, 15:36:50
        
        although he did also say (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 15, 15:40:35
