I am sure he will be good for us if we go dow, but not anywhere near PL standard. He definitely isn't starter material. Should only come on when players are tired. Pace is just a major issue for us. Wesley doesn't have it. Nor does the midfield or "wingers". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure some people here aren't actually watching the match. 35.3% possession 11 shot conceded. Yh, I'm Pretty sure you're not watching the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like some say he is the future?? Quit and give JT a go 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are playing shite, have been for about 5-6 weeks, it’s not all Wesleys fault, if anything he is one of the better performers today. It would be great if any of the five midfielders and two full backs could do absolutely anything other than give it away or run down a dead end we might actually create chances for our only forward? It’s not all Wesley’s fault at all but he’s a terrible centre Forward - I think we would be 25% better team with Kodj up front ( who is a bang average CF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We gifted them a goal and despite their 11 attempts, there wasnt that much between till the goal. We can still win this! Spot on. Negative nancys the lot.

ferguson1 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 If the same eleven players come back out and we concede again within the first five minutes, then Smith can go! Need to see a reaction and the players are still with Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A change in manager might fix that, but I feel it would be harsh on Smith. He's barely been here a year and got us promoted. Tough one for the owners. not as tough as finding a replacement - which is why smith will get a while longer IMO. I keep reminding everyone the guys who choose the next manager - Has theiry Henry in the frame and signed off on Wesley for £22m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we were terrible and I knew today we'd be awful. He's picked a team to play on the counter with absolutely no pace in midfield and out wide, it's baffling. We need the window to open and pick up pacy players like Sarr for them, we're such a slow, clumsy team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Just now, TRO said: We haven't got the players, particularly in midfield to steal the initiative and no pace up front to unhinge anybody. we simply have too many midfield player much the same. Smith had 140 mill to spend in the summer. Do you not think he should have added more steel? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Targett has been awful for a while now and is also really poor again today. Another poor signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point in believing in what we are doing as frankly it isn't working.

PaddytheVillan Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 We need to take a look at recruitment. For me we have 5 Prem quality players in our entire squad: Grealish, Heaton, McGinn, Mings and maybe Hourihane. We had all these players last season. We've wasted a fortune and it may bankrupt us when we go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
