Port Vale v MK Dons match thread- Mar 15th

Simply put he's just not very good. Look at where he's been going on loan, if this was someone who was anywhere close to pushing for consideration it'd be clubs higher than the 6th tier looking to sign him. I don't read much into pizza trophy games good or bad but when he came on against Barnsley in the FA Cup he was hopeless. Don't mind us taking a flyer on a player like that but his future looks like it'll be outside the EFL once the retained list comes out.

Correct,he will be gone at the end of the season anyway

Would like to see us ditch 3 CB's and play the strengths of our team which is not seeing Hall and Smith on the ball.  Let's get the ballplayers in the middle of the park on the ball with plenty of runners of in John, Curtis & Tolaj.

<ovf censored> or Bust for promotion tomorrow.

Apparently it’s not within the rules to play with 12

I see that DD jumped on this comment with a confused reaction. 
 

Like I said earlier it’s nothing new. Opposition shut off one side of the defence and smith becomes the one free to have the ball, the opposition then stop the ball into midfield, so he’s got to launch it and so give it away. Or if he tries to play there’s a fair chance he’ll lose it because of the pressure on other players. It’s not just about our players movement, it’s the other teams tactics and shape that are making this happen. If it wasn’t Smith the opposition would target someone else, so it’s up to the manager to find a way around it with our tactics so we’re not in the position of having to just give the ball to Smith. 

Whilst everything you point out is true  and I think our midfield is far too static at times notwithstanding that Smith doesn't play the pass quick enough, wears blinkers, doesn't trust himself or his team mates enough with a pass, the pace of his passes are often too slow and played the wrong side of the player. Frustrating to watch when he's not improved over the years.

Smith makes me nervous watching him play out from the back , but when it comes to putting his head in where it hurts , there’s no better man.

Don’t think we’d get away with 12 players on the pitch mate 🤷‍♂️

The standard of officials this season I beg to differ😂😂😂😂

I might be mistaken so let me know if I am, but I do believe that under Darren Moore, when we concede the first goal, we have gone on to win ONE game. 
 

Pretty damning of Mr Clueless.

I've got a season ticket cheers mate. I'm sure someone will snap your hand off for free though!

Could it be that wolves have already told him they’re releasing him and he’s free to go out and try and earn a contact elsewhere? So we’ve took a look at him in training? 

Possibly. Would have preferred us to make a signing in a position we needed and that would actually play and just give him a trial in pre season like John. Dont get it at all personally.

Go bed mate , your incessant moaning and pure negativity is even more boring than Moore's football .
