| Smyth, Half Turn, Cut Back and Subbed Off! 22:31 - Oct 22 with 3881 views | ParkRoyalR |
Smyth finally does what we've been asking,
Opens his body on the Half Turn so when he receives the ball he can go forward and not just backwards and...
Gets a yard on his man, ahead of the support and finally cuts it back rather than whack it across the line 10 yards ahead of the support and.....
Marti subs him off, brings on a Right Back and we lost our pace, threat and all momentum to go on and win the game.
Marti always has and continues to make some very odd decisions!
Much better all round tho. |  | | |  |

Like I said on another thread the only reason I can see taking Smyth off was due to "sports science" | | | |

He was cramping before, stretching a lot. All of them looked knackered at the end. |  | | |

It had to be that, and I suspect we'll learn that in time. Syth didn't look upset coming off either.
Thought he played well in that second half, some nice crosses. The failure to get Andersen away, though, was really bad. |  |

If that was the counter attack in the 2nd Half I thought he travelled well with the ball and attempted the pass at the right time but defender anticipated and made a good block, didn't have best view of it mind. | | | |

Probably that. But Marti could also have been trying to get Saito further up the pitch by bringing on the Newcastle lad. Thought he was excellent first half, but penned back in the second. Thought Anderson was decent when he came on. Dembele's regression is alarming | | | |

I thought the pass should have been long gone, Parky. Couldn't believe he was holding on to it for so long. | |

Thought he needed to release the ball much earlier from my view on the telly, but its easy to say that with the benefit of highlights. Smyth was fine, did was he's supposed to do. Probably mis-hit the cross for Morgan trying to pick out Celar but deserves the luck for trying in the first place. If he played like that second half more often (first half he was anonymous), then all the better for him and us. |  |

No point crossing to Celar.
He stops running if he is set up with a chance.
We have had some average strikers in recent times but think currently his performances put him top of the pile of dung !!!
Bring back Lyndon !!!
Yes and agree with others Smyth expected to come off as picked up a niggle. Otherwise that sub was not correct [Post edited 22 Oct 23:14]

That break summed Smyth up. Anderson to his right, Celar(i think) to his left, 3v2.
And finds neither. | | | |

Really harsh considering he set up the goal and was a thorn in their side (almost) all night.
Haters will be haters etc. |  |

He had cramp. Best game for a while from Smyth and a half decent striker would have been in the right place for one of those crosses |  | | |

Fair enough if he had to come off but I don’t get Ashby over Santos, who is actually our player and I’d argue at worst as good as Ashby. | | | |

This. He defo was done.
After being subbed I saw him hobble down the tunnel just before game end. He was limping.
So, he had to be subbed. Also correct to say Ashby did feck all. If Dembele is gonna play in the middle, then we need Smyth on the wing to pin them back. They dare not take risks going forward otherwise Smyth will speed past them as he did anyway.
Managed to actually get an assist and he did see Morgan who called for it. |  |

Defender actually did well to.block, credit where it due sometimes. |  |

He was better, Celar could have stuck a leg out once or twice given the effort. | |

Yep. Limped around the pitch when he came off.
Not hard to spot he had a problem really, even if it was only cramp |  | | |

Fair play, just thought it was another of Marti's inexplicable wtf substitutions, pleased to be corrected,
I sit in line to Smyths crosses and whilst those early crosses look good they are pointless as if he receives an early ball and sprints forward even Dominic Iorfa would struggle to get on the end of them,
Head up, pick out your man and cut the ball back is what we need in those situations and what we got at 3rd time of asking,
Like the lad, maybe not the brightest, but this comes down to our attacking Coach which I believe is down to Marti, which is a thread on its own and our current downfall. | | | |

I was surprised to see so many bodies scattered around the pitch at the end of the game. Must admit glancing around the stands as the thought 'drive by shooter' came to mind | |

Smyth had an issue......I do not speculate what it was but two minutes before he was subbed I said to my friend that he had an issue.
No issues whatsoever in MC taking him off. | | | |

It was really noticeable alright.
I don't like it. It's self-pitying, and weak. Show no weakness ever.
Get up, shake hands, move on.

he did though and celar stood motionless when the ball was two feet in front of him , feet planted to the ground. for a supposed box striker celar isnt anywhere close to getting a goal , not even sure he had one shot on goal last night , one half arsed header toards the end is all i can remember =. |  |

Smyth looks a right chippy pr1ck. The camera caught him throwing his arms around after one cross his fizzed across that Celar didn't stretch for.
I reckon a lot of this squad don't like each other, and its showing on the pitch |  | | |
