My problem is how younger and also relatively inexperienced players, especially forwards, are written off by a significant number on this site without being given much benefit of the doubt.
(Hippo almost scored with a dazzling shot at Barrow, BTW.)
There may well come a time when you have to admit that a player is a dud – with kindness, if at all possible – but judgements are reached so very quickly.
If a player has an attitude problem … that may be a different matter. The only player I have ever really taken a pop at was Hakeeb.
