I have always rated Naismith and have said he is a hard worker. Being on the wings doesn't suit him, he needs to be in the central striker position. His movement against Stevenage and Villa was great. Getting in the box, allowing Pienaar to thread the ball through. If you give him an opportunity he will take it with both hands. Naismith changed the game when he came on and well done to Martinez for the tactics.

could have been 5 minutes for all I care, without Naismith we were looking like losing that game. To come on the way he did and seize his chance says alot about the mentality of the player.

 

You have Tom Cleverly whinging about getting a tough time off the fans etc, Naismith isn't as technically gifted but does not hide for one second, helps his team mates out. The mans a credit to his profession, I mean that. I have been critical of him in the past and it was warranted - however the way he dusts himself down is outstanding. Most improved player I have seen in a blue shirt.

I've slated Naismith as much maybe even more so than most blues, couldn't fault him yesterday or against Villa when he came on, he's a good impact sub.

 

Coleman is the most improved player I've seen in a blue shirt, the way he plays now compared to when we first got him is amazing, the last 12 months he has arguably been our best player.

Barry for me.

 

Naismith did well when he came on but lets not get carried away. He was put through 1 v 1 by the Swansea player and then got caught by a terrible attempt at a tackle without really having to do anything with the ball.

 

Excellent finish for the first and his knack for popping up at the right place at the right time is a really useful skill to have but its not like he had to create anything on his own etc.
