Never will be good enough at age 29 for a PL club or a PL promotion push.
Incredible that Poyet wasted £3.25m, and fantastic wages, out of the budget on a league one striker.

Norwich would be a very relieved club that they didn't waste that £3.25m on a League One ability frontman.
Good at shuttle runs in games though, with a short choppy style of running, closing defenders down for the first 60 minutes.

It must be good for a player to have such great support from your team's fans. Obviously, Norwich must know nothing as they bid for him in two of the last three transfer windows but I'm sure you and others on here know best.

ahh yes, I remember the uproar on NSC and from Brighton fans when we signed CMS. Especially yourself I am sure. We were all so disappointed when we signed him.

If a player is good at some things and not at others a good manager or coach makes sure the rest of the team plays to those strengths, did Poyet?
The likes of Barnes (pre Referee tripping), Harley, Sparrow, Ankergren, Greer and others have taken an internet battering on NSC before, many times.
Are you reserving your "support" kid gloves for fans favourite CMS alone?

No, I don't agree with slagging off players as it is hardly productive. If they give their all, then I have no issue. I haven't slagged off any of those players (that doesn't mean I think all of them have amazing games all the time). I think the treatment of Barnes and Ankergren especially by some on here has been disgraceful.

I didn't slag off McSmudger. I just pointed out that although he always gives 100% he JUST ISNT GOOD ENOUGH for the championship.

You slag him off by referring to him like that. His name is Craig Mackail-Smith.

Which is obviously meant as a derogatory name so you are slagging him off. It isn't a name you would give a player you are being supportive towards.

I believe that his nickname in the dressing room refers to the size of his ears? Is it Dumbo?!! I doubt that McSmudger takes offence to that and I don't mean it as a derogatory name anyway. It is amusing though and always gets a rise out of you! So I shall continue to call him McSmudger until he starts scoring at an acceptable rate (25 goals per season) or leaves the club for pastures new because HE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

This name has been used many times before and by people who fully support him; it is a fun play on his name and I presume his Scottish call up, nothing derogatory at all.

Quite.
You wouldn't accept 25 goals next season. You'd say it was too little too late and still find a reason to slag him off. It's just who you appear to be.
Dumbo? Are players that creative/imaginative? It's probably Big Ears.

LOL!!

With Ulloa, CMS, Barnes and Hoskins we've got plenty of goals in our locker at Championship level for a manager that can play to their strengths rather than insist they either have to be shoe-horned into a set system or discarded.

No. I would certainly accept 25 goals per season from McSmudger. It would mean that somehow he has improved. However it's not going to happen because his first touch is not good enough, his speed of thought is not good enough and his pace is not (quite) good enough and he is not good enough in the air. If you know football you would understand this.

There were times this season when CMS looked awesome.He raced to 11 goals and scored some supreme strikes like Burnley and Ipswich.i am certain with the right manager and system he will come good.
I also think Hoskins can play a part and I am pleased he got another year.
