Hanlan

[Cramby10]

Difference being, they all got their shots off.

[CottyRover]

Hanlan is not perfect, but for me he looked a lot better than he has done. Too early to write him off just yet.

[Cramby10]

He’s 28 and averages something like a goal every 6 or 7 games. Never got double figures in a season. If the penny ain’t dropped by now, I find extremely optimistic to think it’s gonna change now. I may sound harsh to some I get it,  but I just want the best for my team and I think there are a whole host of players in our squad that deserve better.

[mpc123]

Really?  It's a tough job up top in our team. Hard work.

Give him time. He looked better today. Mccann talked about learning more on how we play and he wants to learn. Give him time. Coming on as a bit part isn't going to accelerate it so be patient

be patient for what? I’m definitely not expecting anything.

Our putative new striker's stats don't seem to be much different but there must be a reason for signing him and an expectation that he will provide.

[mpc123]

It's about what mccann thinks he can do with them, not what they have done before. If so we would be spending £30m on them

mmmm…..so it seems.

His arse fell out when clean through late on though. He didn’t fancy that one iota. Not the sign of a lethal marksman.

That’s just b*llocks. He made the right decision for the team.

in your opinion. The decision was made for him. Billy would’ve buried it. Just like he did against Bradford. Any natural striker would have.

It was the only decision though, if he slowed down any more thinking he was offside he would have stopped still.

He actually got fouled in the box and if he’d gone down it would been a penalty

[NickDRFC]

Matt Le Tissier would have had a damn sight more than his 8 England caps if he’d been fitter and worked a bit harder.

Dowie in a recent interview said the idea that LE Tissier lacked fitness or work rate is nonsense. Playing alongside him he ought to know.

Carlton Palmer said he was unfit, had poor work rate and no stamina. Also played alongside him so surely just as valid a view. Probably less likely coloured by a post playing career alongside Le Tissier on Soccer Saturday as well.

Meanwhile we’ve bagged 13 points from 6 games.

I think that buys the squad some credit to take a bit of time to improve.?

That's just b*llocks, he shit it.
A decent striker such as sharp would have at least had a shot. (Sharp would have buried it)

He was through, 1 on 1. To say he chose the corner flag is ludicrous

[keith79]

I thought he played well when he came on.  Each to their own i suppose

Carlton Palmer , his knowledge of football you could write on a stamp with a marker pen. Average to Good player, crap manager, crap pundit.

Won 6 games out of 8 and clowns like this moaning about irrelevant stuff. Some folk can’t change their stripes however well we’re doing

So you have no faith in Grant McCann then. Ok. Fair enough.

[mushRTID]

Iv been disappointed with Hanlan so far but thought he was much better today.

[selby]

I thought he did ok, on the time he got through he looked for the offside flag then set off and was fouled which took his touch away from goal, only then did he take it to the corner.

[dickos1]

He did everything he needed to do today, we were under the cosh which subsided once he came on
Thought he was excellent

[Spilsby Red]

Totally agree.

[McCammon egg n chips]

Nice cameo today, added those runs behind defenders that Sharp was missing as the game went on.

[Donnybax]

He was alright when he came on today. Used his body well

[Paul Simpson]

Why not get behind your team and support Hanlan instead of finding a scapegoat? Awful posts on here ! Get a grip, amazing position we’re in all thanks to Mcann and all our players

aww bless, you must have conveniently skipped over my post saying how outstanding the vast majority were then.
It’s a forum to express opinions. Rather than bellowing it out from the stands. Don’t reply if you don’t like it. I really get under your skin. Let it go. It’s not healthy.

[andyst79]

Showed some encouraging signs when he came on , hopefully this is the start of some improved performances from him

[Rovers91]

I thought he showed some nice touches when he came on he needs a goal to take that pressure off him and build his confidence.

What a daft post, in one sentence you say it’s a forum to state your opinion and in the next sentence you say don’t post if you don’t have a different opinion to mine.
