No, he criticised when we'd played well too, even singling out individuals

notably Lee Croft against Tamworth, where he said he went to the press to make his criticisms before he explained personally to Croft why he'd been subbed - unbelievable behaviour really - and laid into the team for going for more goals against Barnsley when we won 3-1.

And after the Barnet game, as you suggest.

Grant wasn't prepared to let his players enjoy their football at all, and it really came through on the pitch, especially when there was that rash of sendings-off for dissent late in his spell as manager.

And calling the fans a "disgrace" 30 seconds into his career wasn't too clever either. There are ways of telling people they're doing things wrong that work, and Grant's didn't - it was by turns arrogant, malicious and often completely uncalled for.
