All this vile criticism is way out of order.

How many of these people hammering him on here, ever got near to being a professional footballer?

I reckon 'lay off' is a poor choice of words here, I thought you were suggesting giving him his p45 from the thread title.......

I agree Agent Green ... (cough splutter) I mean Matthew Green is a thoroughly nice chap with a long and distinguished career in lower league football, has a young family, and errr tries hard or summat 🤷‍♂️ ... this isn’t the time for picking on individuals.

The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Vile criticism is out of order, yes. But you can’t pretend that he’s the striker who’s going to save us from relegation. I don’t exactly know his stats but I think it’s in the region of 5 goals in 50 games for us and that’s simply not good enough.

Criticism while being constructive is actually fair enough imo, he doesn't look interested or up for the fight and that's not what we need at this time. Personal abuse however is bang out of order. I'm just hoping the management can find a role for him so he can contribute to the rest of our season, it feels like a waste of a wage at the moment.

That's a valid point, the one arrogant pundits sometimes use: unless you've been a player, what do you know?    A bit condescending.  Non-players can pay to watch, but not allowed to comment? Nonsense.  

Most people know the limits and stick to them.

Criticism of Green isn't a sin but personal abuse is.
His record for us is at best abysmal, which in an interview he did during the lockdown he admitted he'd not done enough
What he hasn't done is improved, at 34 the "legs have gone" doesn't fit with me, Morais is 35 and still looks bloody good and sharp.
I just don't think Matt Green is very good, his first touch is awful, doesn't hold the ball up, doesn't take a player on and couldn't hit a cows ar%e with a banjo, barring an absolute screamer he scored against Chelsea.
If I'm honest, don't be surprised if Hurst drops him and Hanson makes a remarkable recovery. From all accounts Hanson just didn't get Holloway and I'm thinking none if the squad did tbh.
So, it's not a slating of Green as person that should be going on but critique his football ability and performances is perfectly acceptable.
