thabucks Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 With no crowds so less pressure and with them riding the rest of a wave with recent performances surely JBP deserves a start ? Kessler over Elmo on the bench ? Carney on the bench. I said it before if Smith doesn’t give any minutes to these youngsters before seasons end then ill be in the Smith out camp ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our team did okay last week, created a lot of chances. No silly pens or slips and we would have been fine. But had to play two up front to the get point in the end last second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stratvillan Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I'm not sure what everyone is basing starting the youngsters on, other than they're not el gahzi et al. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbcuk Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Pretty poor as should have gave Davis a go up top and moved watkins out wide 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummybloke Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Sigh, will still will us to a win but why play the same failing players literally for months. Is dean hoping that we will eventually play well for a game, with traore mgginn and berkley so he can say I told you so ? Mgginn looked 10 times better playing further forwards and if he gives the ball away he stands a chance of winning it back rather than a direct attempt on our goal and the team ALWAYS look more dangerous without traore and Berkley on the same pitch. Hoping for a 2-0 but expecting at best a 1-1 draw. We are owed decent performances from those 3 for the months of poor or worse form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villaphan04 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I would've put Davis in for Traore and shifted Watkins to the wing, but other than that, I can see why he picked that lineup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get annoyed by the circular three four hour long pointless discussions just because some do not see the future as bright with Smith as others and dare to say so ... My post was OTT and I’ll happily admit to being a petulant footballing snob... Smith frustrated me more than excites me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I wonder which other wingers we have at the club? Unless Dean Smith can dip into the transfer market before every game then I don't see what else he could have done in the wide areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
