Matt Green

Brings nothing to Town.

He fails to secure the ball with his back to goal. Counter attack by Cambridge as a result and the second goal

He just doesn’t hold the ball up


We know. You’ve been on here for 2 weeks. Off you fornicate

I don’t agree with the character assassination of Green. It was clear from the day he signed that he was a player who needed his team to play a certain way and give him support. He seemed to do quite well with Vernam for instance. But he is not a back to goal player and never will be. It’s unfair to criticise -him for not doing something that he simply cannot do. The manager who signed him should have known.

Agree. He doesn’t provide what this team needs and the players we have don’t work with him - he can finish well (Chelsea) but our current sad state is not his fault. He could probably do a job in the conference playing off a big lump.

Even when playing alongside Hanson he flattered to deceive. One of the few times they gelled was at Walsall last year when Green crossed for Hanson to score. You are correct about him not being a back to goal player but he doesn't have the engine to constantly move into space for midfield passers either so he rations his game. And yes the manager should have known.

Just my opinion but, while it's absolutely true that Green hasn't cut it for quite a while and I'm certain he needs to be leaving soon, I don't think it's fair or necessary to have a thread just about his shortcomings.  Mistakes costing goals are happening all over the pitch and its not just him missing chances
Our problems are much deeper than just blaming Matt, and making barmy statements like "if he stays we're relegated" . My mates and I were only saying today when was the last time we had a player who could regularly make defence splitting forward passes to any of our miss hitting forwards instead of the usual long ball to chase down or total over elaboration.
We are seriously lacking creativity, hopefully Scannels return will help that.

Green is the lower league equivalent of Michael Owen.

In both cases it wasn’t obvious how important pace was to their game until they lost it.

I wonder if that who Hurst was referring to with his put a dog on the pitch comment.
