It's the defending that is letting us down this season. We have the worst defensive record along with Norwich. Unless that improves we are likely to go down. Kinda agree, but the positive he brings is that he can keep the ball up at the opposition end, cause problems and layoffs, which will hopefully help leave our defence in less panic, and at worst help us score more than them!

Maybe. It's different starting games vs coming off the bench but the positive signs are there. Again goals haven't been an issue for us all season. We're fine in that department. Smith and the coaching staff have to show they can organize a defence or it's looking grim for us. Edited February 3, 2020 by villalad21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So starting one striker, something he has done for every game this season now all of a sudden means he is playing for the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Smith plays with wingers. It's either Samatta or Keinan leading the line against Spurs. Samatta starting being the most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can play with 1 striker and set up differently, I'm saying he will play for a draw against spurs not that playing 1 striker means going for a draw everytime.

Did we play Drinkwater in the U23s to help build his fitness earlier too? And if no, any obvious reason why? We can field some over-age players right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t play on Saturday as he had a knock, so can’t see why we’d risk that in an u23 game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
