Lewis Grabban

With Forest kicking towards the our fans yesterday i got to appreciate the actual hard work Grabban put in. He desperately misses Carvalho, people say he looks lazy, but that’s not his game to run every where. Play to his strengths and he will get you goals. I don’t understand what the man’s supposed to do without any service.
And anything to shut that prat Burns up in the Post!

Yesterday was about as hard as I’ve seen Grabban work since he came to Forest and it was still limited. If you are happy with him simply scoring and that’s enough to hold down his place in the team then with respect, I’m glad you’re not the manager. Every manager should be duty bound to improve their players and every professional player should be looking to improve themselves. I do not condone asking players to do what they cannot do but asking Grabban to run more, move more, track back and be more of a team player is not a huge science nor is it something he can’t do, laziness is a state of mind and every single player in the team should be willing to give maximum effort to their team and team mates. If he can’t do it because he’s physically impaired then he shouldn’t be in the team. If he won’t do it because he thinks he only has to score to merit being in the team then he shouldn’t be in it. If he adds mobility to his game he might not be in his usual positions to score but he will have created space for others to score. It’s a no brainier. Playing in this league, passengers cannot be afforded.
