You’re giving Nazon too much credit. I don’t believe for a minute that his mind worked like that. He was purely playing selfishly.

HA! This is absolute nonsense. If he puts through a player through on goal, and that player misses, it’s on them. If he did indeed think that, then it’s clear he’s a bad team player, because a wild shot is in no way better than a chance on a plate, regardless who’s on the end of it. On current form, McNulty is clearly someone who can finish chances - so if he was avoiding him, again, bad team player.

I think the problem though, Pete, is that Robins was telling him to stay on. Doesn't that kind of point to the manager not believing he was that badly injured.

Not the first time he's told him to stay on either.

Just wait and see what happens in the transfer window. I have a feeling everything will be revealed.

Idiots mate.

Wether robins likes him or not. Wether he stays on loan or not. For fans to be 100% sure someone is faking an injury is hillarious.

Soon as i saw him grab his hip i said to my cousin he wont last. Looked in pain to me.

Then it was wrong from Robins to tell him to stay on wasn't it?

A player usually knows when he can no longer stay on and therefore signals to go off.

Why on two separate occasions has Mark Robins told Nazon to stay on the field when the player has signalled to come off?

Exactly, perhaps an opinion formed from a players daily attitude at work. Robins hasn't told other players to stay on has he. It's just a marriage that is not going to work. So we may as well give the loan slot to a player who is fit enough and with enough desire to give us 90 minutes. Regardless of what the situation was yesterday Nazon has never looked like a 90 minute player.

Maybe Robins had problems getting him onto the pitch in the first place he hasnt really featured much since his substitution at half time and I think Robins was quite rightly upset with his stupid bookings which cost him a ban

That's the key. Have any of us seen Robins tell any other player that they have to stay on the pitch?

This thread could go either way in the ‘I told you so..’ stakes.

Looking like he’s going back to Wolves but would be ironic if we got him back for the rest of the season.

For what it’s worth I agree with points made about general laziness and can’t be arsedness.

But would love to have him back for the rest of the season-especially as the haters seem to have forgotten some of his crucial contributions to City getting points (Lincoln and Wycombe just two).

If he is going back-good luck and thanks. Just for the Lincoln game alone it was worth it.

Altogether now-‘ Let’s all do a Lincoln...’

To be honest, if he goes back to Wolves, I’d not be that bothered. He was great for us earlier in the season but McNulty has started to come on leaps and bounds and has a great chance of being the fabled 20 goal a season striker we’ve needed. It’s much more crucial to keep him (and fit) than it is to keep Duck.

Losing Duck is less of a hindrance than losing Andreu, Jones and Vincenti to season ending injuries.

So if he goes, fair enough. Thanks for the goals earlier in the season Duck (especially Swindon away). If he stays, hopefully he can contribute again to our march back to L1.

You clearly haven’t played football at a high level to understand the thought processes of a professional footballer.

I certainly don't hate Duck he has scored a decent amount of goals for us and we are not his club, BUT if his attitude is as it seems for his parent club I really don't see too much of a future there for him having said that most teams are desperate for goal scorers so I guess they will put up with players attitudes whilst they are scoring to some extent. Maybe its just a case of he knows he is too good for this league so his arrogance is for that reason, I know when I dropped down once I knew I was better than the other players so I knew I would be picked regardless....not intentionally but its human nature in idle bleeders like me

Who are the haters?

I think most us believe there is a good player in there and it is more to do with application and attitude.

No, but I have been around professional sportsmen and environments to know you're talking nonsense.

Might be no claps. He can't clap one handed, not with his other hand sympathetically rubbing his hip.

Ah guess by the fact he went off Saturday and was on the Thames at midnight means his time here is more than likely done.

Talented player but he's going to be the architect of his own downfall in his career by his attitude.

Turned the game at Lincoln so thank him for that and wish him all the best.

Can't see him featuring again for us, didn't know he was on the Thames last night so probably not even going to be in the squad today.

It's probably why he was on loan to League 2 because of his attitude, put his ability with the brain of somebody different and you have a great player.

Cheers for that, ISSS.

He's out for sure then you would have thought.

I suppose there is the possibility he could have gone down last night and then is driving back up today, but I wouldn't bank on it.

You'd imagine MR would want him tucked up in bed before 12!
No issue with him doing that if he's out injured etc but Chesterfield get a heads up he's not playing etc especially in this day and age of you hearing clubs banging on about small margins etc
