This is what bothers me about Craney. On numerous occasions on Saturday he got on the ball with a good first touch, but then was immediately tackled out of it by the opposition. He has lost the ability which used to enable him to burst through the tackles and set things up. Contary to what SamF says, he received plenty of ball to feet but was unable to make use of it. He was a magnificent player for us in the promotion season, very dynamic and also scoring plenty of goals from open play, direct from free-kicks and even direct from corners on several occasions! I think he is being picked on past reputation alone, unfortunately.
