"Think he's very good on the ball. He's one of the best passers, but defensively he is not good enough to play holding midfield. He lets players run off him and doesn't track runs. Go and watch the first half of the Oxford game and see how much they used it to their advantage. Until he improves that side of his game, I don't think we will see much of him unless it's a position further up the pitch. "

If he is reflecting Jamie's view ( I am not saying that he is, by the way), I am very concerned. The best dead ball deliverer we have at the Club. 

Well if Mr Meticulous can't figure out how to play him within a formation that works then by defalt he can't be so meticulous can he.

How come other clubs can figure how to accomodate such talent yet we can't??

You should of asked him how Scott "not fast enough to carry a hat at a funeral" Bennett can get into midfiled in-front of him.

The boy looks like he's running through treacle with lead weights on his feet.

When I think back to seeing Stanley play, I recall many times whereby he tracks back and gets stuck in.

Often he wins the ball - I think it's only after the injury, he hasn't quite performanced well defensively but by no means is he the worst at defending. Unfortunately, I don't see him making massive strides to improve this massively - not at his age but he can defend well.

If Notts can't or won't find a role for Stanley (in the starting 11) then I would despair.

clueless! fullarton wont gain support by leaving him out.

not the right decision.

Build a side round him!

Only in England do we spend more time on a player's deficiencies than his strengths.

To win you have to score goals. Scot Bennett is a centre back. Aborah can hold the ball. If we are in possession they can't score.

He's the best player of his type in the division, just talk to the opposition fans...

bennett did nothing but stand around, he cant defend for the life of him.

in defence and with cover maybe but stanley is worth 50 of bennett. you are right, if we have the ball we can stop sides scoring and without stanley we have no ball holders. noble moves quickly, he does not look to hold it or slow down play so we need better options for calming down play imo.

NEP coverage is terrible. Might as well put written by Aileen and Ray Trew at the end of everything!

Like I said in another post, Leigh Curtis is nothing other than a puppet for the Trews as he is so scared of being banned from the club and it shows in his reporting.

The most laughable quote I have read for years & years is in his latest article.....

"Of course, Fullarton wants his team to be creative".

Does he actually read the sh!te he spouts and or believe what he writes. Fullarton's idea of creativity is hammer it into the stratosphere in the vain hope the opposing defenders make a mistake, if that's creative then I'm King Tut.

Honestly our club is a circus

Sorry to say it, but Leigh Curtis is an idiot and pretty much reflects any opinion of the manager/owners at the time. 

Certainly Leigh is not "independent". His reporting exempts certain players from criticism. It comes across as a buddy buddy reporting scenario
