What the fuck was he doing today? It's obvious what needed to change at HT and the dickhead kept it the same until they got a 3rd. Plan A is great when it works but his lack of plan B is killing our auto ambition. And unfortunately this lot don't have the stomach for a scrap in the playoffs. Thing is, we can make 5 subs. If its clearly not working (again) its like a second chance to totally change your setup. It's a missed opportunity when you have such an option available. AIt was 2 changes on 62 minutes and 2 more on 79, 20 minutes after their third. What was the fucking point?

Fuck knows how Smallwood stayed on. I don’t care if he’s captain, if you’re having a fucking stinker you should be volunteering to come off, not commandeering the only free kick on goal we had in the entire game and floating it into the kop.
He was at fault for both the first two goals. For the second he showed Josh Wright levels of commitment to track back after watching their player drift past him. He is 4 years younger than Jonesy was when he got us to Wembley twice in a season but I’ve got better legs than him. He is so clearly past it and he’s only 32, he can’t run, he can’t even play a long ball that clears the full back. That signing, and Hughes failure to realise it was a fuck up, is what will do for us.

I rate him but can't excuse them 2 performances, you can't bring him off because there's nobody to replace him. Unlike that soft shite coward Gilliead

Unlike that soft shite coward Gilliead Genuinely think Gilliead is better than him, including today. Still shit, but way better than Smallwood.

There seems to be a witchunt for Smallwood simply because he came from captaining a champ team. He's 10 times the player Gilliead will ever be, I don't disagree he's had a couple of shockers but to suggest Gilliead is better in any way shape or form is just plain wrong. Gilliead is replaceable with East, would you seriously drop Smallwood to see East and Gilliead in the middle?

Smallwood has been awful lately but his head is over the parapet, trying things. Gillead looks like he’s trying to mince round for ninety minutes without needing a shower. He’s not just shit, he hides. Smallwood has a go at least.

He’s slow, weak, shows zero leadership, and his set pieces are absolute wank. Worst signing of the summer.

What I'd give for Jones and Doyle in the middle of the pitch. Keep banging on about it but it's scandalous how we've overlooked this area of the pitch. What the fuck were Gent, Sparks and Hughes thinking if they thought these midfield options were good enough??
Smallwood Gilliead East Sutton Songo'o
Fucking tragic.

He's no fist pumper but he's forever shouting and like today he was shit and fucked us but he didn't hide like Gilliead. Worst signing of the summer? Absolutely no chance he is.

Absolutely no chance he is. Jake Reeves does a lot of pointing, shouting doesn’t make Smallwood a leader. And given how great he was meant to be, what a coup signing him supposedly was, he’s easily the worst signing of the summer. He’s so far off what folk reckoned we were getting.

If he was hiding he wouldn’t have ballooned that late free kick over the bar and he have let Banks have it. I mean, that’s what he should have done anyway but it’s not the actions of someone who’s hiding.

Now count how many wingers/inside forwards we signed. We’ve got some good players but the squad isn’t balanced. I’m not convinced we’ll have the means to fix it in January either.

If Gillead was the better of the two it can only be because things that Smallwood attempted went to shit whereas Gillead simply didn’t bother attempting much in the first place. Gillead is fast becoming my biggest annoyance. I reckon the cunt’s got gonads like peanuts. Smallwood remaining on set pieces is a black mark against Hughes. When we’ve got a lad who can hit a dead ball like Banks can it takes a special kind of idiot to keep watching Smallwood’s efforts and think that’s the way to go.

Don't put Smallwood in charge of himars in Ukraine, he'd end up taking out out either his own troops or landing a couple of rockets in Belarus.
