Kevin Nolan: 'Jon Stead does not get the credit he deserves'

I would probably agree with that from the gaffa , Stead is an excellent professional and great example on and off the field , works hard , think we are still going to get more from him on the pitch yet this season .

No, I disagree.

Jon Stead gets the credit it when he improves and becomes a bigger part of the game, in recent weeks this has happened but if you flip back to the early part of the season he literally did nothing to warrant his starting position. At Coventry he made Ameobi very limited, and as such it was like playing with one striker.

I'll give any player credit but I find it somewhat disappointing, Adam Collin, Rob Milsom (to a degree) - among others don't get the credit they deserve. I wished Kevin Nolan stopped with this Jon Stead stuff.

The last few games he has improved greatly but I think there is more to come from Jon Stead. The difference between Kevin Nolan's expectations and the fans is that we always want more, whereas Kevin has to manage the players. That said I agree that Jon will get the credit he deserves at the times he performs to the fans level of expectation (which he has been doing recently).
