Not a good performance from him tonight, you could tell he knew it''d be his number up when Martin was coming on.

Bit of a "nearly man" at the moment is Cureton. He nearly gets there but never quite does actually get there.

Would expect Martin to start the next game alongside Dublin.

think it may be down to the manager slagging him off in the press after the carling cup game.

he hasnt looked interested since

The ''fizz'' certainly seems to have left him since Grant subbed him when on a hat trick twice and critisized his play. Who knows, he certainly hasnt been missing loads of chances as the currejnt side doesnt create chances.

100% spot on .. score 2 goals and get slagged of in public do wonders for a players confidence.

[quote user="Dicky"]What about the other seasons where he scored hatfuls of goals?[/quote]

yes but he wasn''t 32/33 then was he, last night he reminded me of Tony Cottee, a good finisher with nothing else to offer. Quite frankly last night it was obvious how much we miss Earnie up front, the fact that the only striker we have who can create chances for himself has barely featured this season because he ate a couple of pies in the summer is another reason why Grant needs the boot. In 5 minutes Chris Martin showed more ability than Cureton had in 5 games.

For £800k we were done.

Would have been a decent back up for Earnie at about half that price.

He did his knee in the Sheffield Wednesday game and was doubtful for Scunthorpe having not trained over the weekend. He also has had no service. Give him a break.

so why play him when we have other alternatives. Grant is a plank

No service only part of the problem really...Because he doesn''t have the pace or  power to exploit balls over the top or into the channels, and isn''t great at finding space and setting others up, or at running with the ball himself, and is clearly no kind of threat in the air either, he contributes very little on his own....so in a struggling side, with few chances being created, he''s a big part of problem..Last night he reminded me at times of the ageing immobile Tony Cotteee, the genius Hamilton brought in...I think front 2 should be Martin dropping off, and someone with pace alongside him up front (Huckerby)...and give them some games together in a solid 442 without constant idiotic tactical meddlings from Grant on the sidelines...might even score a goal  then

Cureton scores two and doesnt pass it... I think yeah he should have passed it but the public hairdrier he got was uncalled for. When Huckerby was through against Scunthorpe last night, he went for it. However, if he had looked a bit to the right he would have seen Dion in acres of spaces and it would have been a tap-in. Does Grant dare slag Huckerby off in this situation? Apparently not.

How did he win the golden boot then? Give him the ball in the box, in a way he can use it and he will.
