not really

a short sharp rebuke for Cureton to remind him that it's a team game and that there were others in more need of a goal isn't going to do any harm

unless Cureton has an extremely thin-skin and a ridiculously high opinion of himself

and if Cureton does, then he's not going to fit into the kind of battling, more than the sum of its parts, team that Grant's going to have to build to get out of this division with the now limited resources at his disposal

Cureton doesn't seem to agree with Grant's post match comments (NCFC) - Dave in France, Aug 15, 15:05:23
- just read that. Should not really make a move on JC like that in public (n/m) (NCFC) - Dirty Delia, Aug 15, 17:23:07

- 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
        
        wasn't someone saying the other day that he's played there a lot for the reserves? (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 15, 15:48:30
        
        Yeah twas Brom ... (NCFC) - meeky, Aug 15, 15:52:37
        
        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
  - well (NCFC) - Dave in France, Aug 15, 15:17:03
    - 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
        
        He was very happy with Saturday though... (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Aug 15, 15:28:58
        
        Was he? (NCFC) - yarmyyarmy, Aug 15, 15:30:47
        
        ... (NCFC) - Yellalee, Aug 15, 15:36:50
        
        although he did also say (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 15, 15:40:35
