It’s ridiculous isn’t it
Absolutely no problems in fact all saying just what we needed first half of the season. Kid gets injured and he know becomes the worst player ever. Plays a couple of end of season games regaining his fitness and didn’t shine so that’s it he’s a liability.
There’s massive question marks against our entire squad, for various reasons,
Inexperience- Wilks klp greaves Jones.
Never played regularly at this level-
Magennis docherty elder Coyle Emmanuel Ingram honeyman.
smallwood is the only player to have played in the championship for any length of time.
I’d say his experience is invaluable. He’s the only one who cajoles and bollocks other players and gets into the ref too.

ive no idea who out of this team will step up to this level but to pick on one player is piss poor. Before a balls even kicked ffs

Do you expect anything less from certain "fans"
 
I get your sarcasm. We are however a week off the league starting and we have looked well below match pace.
I recall the lead up to the 1st Prem season. 08/09.
After losing to Hearts, we were the worst team to ever enter the premier league, so the pundits said. By the end of September we were joint top of the league. I think we even lost to Winterton that year.
Friendlies phhff
 
It's nothing to do with saying he should be the latest boo boy, worst player ever, ****e, etc etc. Why do some people have to go to extremes and to change what others say? Some saying that he's actually not that good / not good enough for us to push on in this division etc has nothing whatsoever to do with suggesting Smallwood should be our boo boy, is ****, etc. He clearly isn't ****. IMO at least, he might bring experience but he's just not that good for this level.

Apparently, some people think any suggestions whatsoever that we need to improve in certain areas is akin to thinking our current players are dogshit. Smallwood's not a bad player but I'd rather have Slater or Jones in there. I think in terms of improvements to the squad, we've filled some of the gaps left by the returning loanees last season. Longman's an improvement and I like the look of Moncur and Baxter. Our midfield looks dangerously thin going into next weekend though. Honeyman's most definitely out for Preston and Cannon isn't a number 10 like Honeyman. We haven't replaced Slater so I'd argue our midfield trio is weaker than it was in League 1 going into the first game of the season.

We still need another centre-forward too. Eaves barely made a mark for us in League 1 and whilst Magennis did well, will he be fit for every game and be as good at this level?
