Please get shut of Nuttall

Or disappears without trace having played very little part and made a few bob joining the legends of the past like Mike Conroy and Chris Malkiniho.
 
Get the feeling that, for whatever reason, Nuttall will be a part of the plans now Hardie has left.
 
Have to get behind Nuttall now. He has the right coaching staff and manager now a good style of football to help him bang in the goals

I hope he comes good, I really do.
Might help now Larry has gone. It will be like a new start. I’d like to see him increase his intensity and desire to become a focal point for our attacks.

I don’t know about increasing hi desire, I would just like to see some desire.
 
The thing with Hardie is that he’s the same age as Nuttall but has played a lot more senior games, and has actually scored in senior football, having an especially good season at Livingston. Nuttall has scored 8 professional club goals in his career. Hardie has scored 34, yet Nuttall got much more chances under Larry.

Well we know why that is, Grayson brought him in for a large fee so had to justify signing him by giving him game time in the hope he'd come good. There is something dodgy about that whole situation considering David Dunn is Nuttall's agent, as well as Grayson's pal who he then appointed as his assistant manager..

I'd much rather have had Nuttall go out on loan this season. Hardie nearly matched Nuttal's career goal tally in 12 appearances for Plymouth last season with 7 (1 off). As you've pointed out, Hardie already has more experience and goals at the same age as Nuttall.. surely the latter needs a loan spell more?

I'm just going to have to place faith in Critchley, if he is banking on Nuttall this season then we'll just have to get behind him and hope he starts banging 'em in!

Confuses me so much the debate re. Nuttall vs Hardie.

Nuttall wasn't given much of a chance under Grayson other than 10 minutes here and there chasing long balls into the corners or trying to win headers or free kicks. Some sections of the crowd then decided he was awful because he didn't score or do much in those 10 minutes - who the hell would?!

Hardie didn't get much of a chance at all at Blackpool (IMO because of his size and he was never going to win any headers or hold the ball up), he was therefore loaned out at Plymouth and scored goals in a tactic which was obviously more suitable to his game.

My point is if Nuttall was the one who got a chance under a different style of play out on loan then maybe he would have a similar record to Hardie last season - but he wasn't given that opportunity.

Give the lad the ** chance to play in a team that's actually going to play football before writing him off before a ball has been kicked this season.

Some 'fans' haven't a clue.

All those who can't stand the lad need to get themselves to Squires Gate, line the training pitch and spend the session slagging him off. It'll get him used to being in the ground. So many will have already made up their minds and will slag him regardless of what he does, much like the Gnando haters who still slagged him as he was scoring "he's done nothing but score with this head"
 
Joe clearly didn't have the first season he and we all wanted. He's fairly young, in terms of first team action and maybe he now understands what is needed to succeed. I totally understand people's frustrations when someone is having a stinker but in many cases last season I heard plenty having a pop at him when he didn't do much wrong or before he even came on! Maybe with a bit of backing, and I hoped his late winner against Ipswich was going to help, we may see a more confident player. This season is massive for the lad, if he fails and shows little he'll be shipped to L2 or lower. He needs to understand this and work harder to get some of our fans back on his side. All I ask of our fans is not to make a scapegoat out of him or any of our players. Our focus should be backing the club, NC and all the players wearing our shirt. I cannot overstate how important it is we maintain the positivity around the club. When we, as a club, get on a roll anything is possible! 👍🏼

You best support your club by amongst other things encouraging them to make the right decisions and not dropping clangers and on that basis I fully support the o/p. Nuttall despite being given more opportunities by Grayson, trying to justify his choice than his performances deserved, gave little encouragement for a successful future contribution here, to put it mildly.

Hardie on the other hand, who was given far less opportunity here showed considerable promise and goal scoring ability at Plymouth , is surely entitled to be given a proper chance to prove himself with us.

No.
 
Give the lad a chance, new coach, fresh start, please dont knock him, it wont do the kid any good !! 🙄🙄🙄
 
It’s not going to happen for him at BFC by the looks of it. Looked like a total stranger to his teammates in the limited minutes he had on the pitch and the knee injury looked more than a minor knock.
 
Astonished at the players we’re getting rid of and yet Nuttall remains - clearly has some dodgy photos of someone 🙈🥴
 
I think if we're all honest about this (didn't he get a 3 year deal?) that this has got to be his time to shine or I think come January he'll be a passenger on a speeding train and be dropped off at somewhere like Crewe.
 
I would rather give Yates and nuttall a go than yates and madine..

So hope he comes good so these threads can be brought back up.

But agree if he doesn't gel/ step up by jan then time to get him on loan
 
Nuttall came with the weight of expectation on his shoulders and he was by far the finished article.

As previous posters say he has hardly played and was probably just told to just try and and make an impact by Grayson

NC will sort him out one way or another and hopefully he will thrive . He certainly has the physical attributes that could make him a handful in the division

We have to trust NC on this .

He deserves a chance under the new manager
 
Nuttall suffered from the same level of expectation as when Malkin came in all those years ago. He was our first proper money signing of the new Sadler era, I think as a fan base we were so used to seeing the same old last minute free transfers.

To go after a much hyped player, get him and pay what could be conceived as decent money set the bar really high, we all got a bit swept up in it and unless the lad hit the ground running he was always going to be a bit of a fall guy.

I would really love critch to get a good run at coaching him with perhaps a short loan spell at a league 2 club to boast his confidence could do him the world of good.

Did Nuttall nail your wife or something?

On second thought, what a ridiculous thing for me to say - zero chance you have any sort of wife or girlfriend 😂

Here comes the Nuttall sympathisers! Come on lads, he was our worst signing since Michael Chopra! All this ‘he’ll come good business’ were from the same people who thought Chris Malkin would bag us 20 a season. I’m all for optimism but anyone who knows anything about football will have known we got an absolute duffer with Nuttall.

And don’t worry about me @ThorntonPool - have a lovely Missus who might find I’m a bit perkier than usual tonight after this excellent news 👍
 
Not the most subtle of o/p’s but I actually agree it was time for him to go - I think he’d had enough chances to prove himself and whilst personally I’ve never given any player grief in the ground or on line, I do think in Joe’s case we were just the wrong club for him. Good luck to the lad.

I’m not even a Nuttall sympathiser, I just really can’t be arsed with ‘fans’ like you who are so eager to jump on a players back all the time.

I’d also like to think I know a thing or two about football. That’s why it’s no surprise to me that Nuttall, Hardie and others failed to shine last year when they played in a team which was solely made for Gnando.
We had 1 tactic last year of get the ball to Feeney and stick it in the box for Gnando.
No coincidence that Hardie came good at Plymouth playing in a team that played decent football on the deck.
No reason at all why Nuttall couldn’t have done the same for us this season, but I guess we’ll never know.

Am not sure why so many thought he’d come good - I just couldn’t work out where his attributes were. New start can often do that.

More interestingly it’s another pretty damning indictment of Larry’s transfers!
 
Under Grayson no one shone other than the loan kids who were head & shoulders above league one football.
Yet Nuttall was singled out.

Talk of Hardie and Feeney going - come on Critchers - you’ve missed the obvious. Get shut of Nuttall - he’s hopeless!

I think you'd love it if someone from outside of where you work kept telling your boss "get rid of teeny feeny, he's shite, useless, crap,hopeless".

How would it make you feel?
