Completely agree with you on Nathan Craig, there is no doubting his potential however he does look raw and often takes the wrong option, but given time he could well be another O'Kane. But there lies one difference we had experienced players in the squad ahead of O'Kane, Eunan was brought on over a period of time, where as Nathan Craig has some what been thrown into the limelight ahead of his time, same as Nail Thompson.
When it comes to sentiment thats the thing with football fans we have our favourites some players in the eyes of one group can do no wrong, other players can do no right, Mark Ellis used to bug me. He would often come 20 yrds out of position to head the ball miss it, yet fans would go nuts on Chris Robertson for not getting arcoss in time to cover, when he should never have had to in the first place.
And forgot to say of course you are right, our team is well capable of beating Chesterfield and going on to secure back to back wins, we are all true fans and thats what we all want, the current negativity only reflects how many feel right now. Would not surprised one bit should that happen if the I told so brigade made a swift appearence
