mozy Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Whats with all the Smith comments? He's never come across as being a bad personality or influence, and has a reputation for being a model pro. As a central midfielder, granted he isn't a great player, but he isn't as slow as Geremi, and doesn't try as many suicide passes as Butt. If you actually watch him during a game he doesn't give the ball away very often at all and will add bite that is a big part of Championship football. As a partnership, him and Barton should work well as they compliment each other while both sharing an aggressive nature. I would pick: Harper R Taylo S Taylor Kadar Enrique Lua Lua Smith Barton Duff Ameobi Carroll Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gggg Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Smith should have been the first out of the door. In any position he's the most useless pointless player i have seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Im suprised we wouldnt put Smith up front if we have to play him. (as it appears we have to) We are short on strikers anyway. Are we definatley not playing Colo with Taylor? Harper R Taylo S Taylor Kadar/Colo Enrique Jonas Smith Barton Duff Nolan Carroll Looks likely IMO.

Tooj Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 As I've been saying for a while one of the biggest myths in football is Alan Smith giving his all and running non stop for 90 minutes. The bloke is an absolute lazy cunt, whose legs have gone and now he's in midfield her barely moves from the centre circle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Ergh, Guthrie injured with a hamstring injury. EDIT: Actually, that'll mean Inmanm or Vuckic might be on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be it, maybe he'll bring in Ameobi for Carroll but that'll be it. I wish he'd start LuaLua and Play Ranger up top with Carroll. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godot Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Smith should have been the first out of the door. In any position he's the most useless pointless player i have seen. I despise a lot of players at our football club at the moment and he's certainly near the top. Like, I said at least Butt's excuse is being old. If his wages were performance related the c*** wouldn't be earning a tenth of his money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rinaldo #18 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Tbh, it wouldn't surprise me if we get four or five injuries tomorrow. I mean, why wouldn't we? It would be perfectly logical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I keep telling my mates, fair enough our squad isn't good enough for the prem, but with the right man in charge and probably 2 signings we could easily challenge for promotion. Imo Barton could be the best player in the league this term as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How on earth is that irrelevant? You saying that we don't belong in the lower divisions is irrelevant. The FACTS are that we are in the Championship and everything that happened last season is gone. Those players weren't good enough to keep us in the prem last season, however, we probably have a fair number of players (Taylor, Colo, Enrqiue, Duff, Smith, Nolan, Barton, Jonas, maybe Ryan Taylor, Steve Harper) that would get into the starting XI's of the majority of other championship sides.
