The Royal Nick Crapman is shit, like playing with 10 men


Nick "Crapman" is not "shit"

He has been thrown in at the deep end, coming from league one, to the best league in the world is obviously going to be tough. He has shown some encouraging signs... He has a great touch, he can hold of a man and he has decent pace.

If you had any clue about football, you will see he has potential. Especially in the championship next season, and he was also not playing in his preferred position

Oh, and Happy 9th Birthday


1. The prem is not the best league in the world anymore
2. If he ain't ready for the prem, don't oxf*rd buy him
3. If you watched any of his games for his previous club, he played on the wing or just behind the striker with most colas coming from the wing, so no he was not playing out of position
4. He has the touch of a rapist


If you haven't already worked this out, this is 'TheWearing'. Therefore, I am surprised the argument doesn't include him threatening to post somebody's credit card details online.

Give the poor guy a chance, he's been chucked into a poor team with little service and is playing two leagues below where he was a couple of months ago. Probably the same people who said Kitson was shit after one game.

That would make more sense if he'd been played upfront, rather than out wide where he's one of the people supposed to be providing the service, not receiving it.

I'd have no objections with Blackman if we'd got him for half the price tbh. Just nothing about his signing has looked particularly positive, or intelligent to me and his performances have done very little to impress me.

Terrible signing for this season. What was brian thinking ? Could come good next year though so not a total write off.

Were people not saying the exact same about Kebe when we signed him last relegation season? That transfer worked out okay in the end.

Kebe showed quite a lot of promise in his appearances, just no end product. It was also clear where he should be playing.

Fair enough then, was just trying to find out rather than make a point. I was quite young then so I don't remember much of him apart from getting malaria or something.

The PL is not the best league in the world.

It's one of the best leagues in the world, and is definitely the most watched league in the world.

He isn't good enough yet for the PL but he is still young and could get better

I can't say I have ever noticed when Blackman has come on/p[layed so I can't form an opinion.

Probably well out of his depth.

I've been told by a Scunthrope fan that when Adkins came in as a manager, he had a striker "who could not hit the net to save his life". "After a few months he was lethal!"

Anyone want to guess who it is?

I'd guess Jonathan Forte, but it may be Hooper or Sharp I spose

It was Hooper.

(Under no circumstance am I saying Blackman will turn out like Hooper, I'm just saying give him a chance)

I wouldn't have had a problem with signing Blackman as a 'possible one for the future' had we also signed some other established PL striker at the same time. However, to have only signed someone for the future when we needed players who could make an immediate impact was absolutely criminal on the part of McDermott and Hammond.

People moan that Adkins didn't go for the win yesterday, when in fact our PL status was as good as lost by McDermott and Hammond during the January transfer window.

that would be criminal as in they committed a crime, or made a decision that in hindsight you disagree with?
