Craig Mackail Smith, You are the weakest link.... Goodbye

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

He was woeful tonight, truly dreadful. Let's hope the Norwich scouts weren't there. And I tell you how I judge him - he's not the worst at the club, but he cost us a fortune and with wages to match. He's crap.

And Gus can be equally embarrassed. That bloke who scored for them and had most influence on the game for 50 mins, he played for you once Gus. Bit like Murray, he wasn't good enough. And instead we have a £3m Labrador puppy scurrying around.

Nothing to disagree with here.

I am losing any faith I had in our supporters. If it isn't slagging off Gus it's Barnes. If it isn't him it's CMS. You need a reality check. We are a work in progress & there will be little progress with the attitudes I read on here. Fuckwits.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

If we actually played to his strengths he would have loads more.

If he was able to score a few of the one on ones he gets presented, not get the ball tangled up between his feet and shot straight he'd also have loads more. I don't think he's worth 2.5m.

If you put Lua Lua's first cross into the box ten times and asked Smith to make sure he missed the target ten times, he'd score nine of them!

 

[Mutts Nuts]

Sure, not his best, but in the first half at least he only had only had the one chance.
The rest of the time being spent kicked pulled and pushed around by 2 massive lumps.

He at the very least deserves to be judged as a striker.

Sorry but not at this team, he he does not fit in ,classic case of square peg in round hole and we do not have time to wait for Barnes to mature either.125 million spent on ground and training facility how much spent on the team

Most accurate post I've read on here. Particularly the Labrador part.

Get a grip dickhead. Smith has been struggling to do the basics for a long time and tonight was no exception. Awful performance.

 

[Beach Hut]

Disappointing for CMS but he can do it at this level, NB he is nowhere near the Premiership so I guess we are stuck with him for now so at least get behind him.

 

[darters74]

we need to get rid, the bloke is just terrible, not just for giving away the goal, he is just simply not good enough.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[GingerBeerMan]

A lot of people pointing out he doesn't fit into our system and I agree. At another club I think he'd score loads of goals. I bet if he moves to Norwich he'll play great and everyone will blame Gus for letting him leave. The difference is Norwich actually scout their players, whereas Gus signs players on hearsay or goal scoring stats. Hoskins, CMS, Dobbie, Lopez, don't fit our style but still signed. It makes me wonder if Gus actually scouts players before signing them.

'The way we play' - this doesn't effect the open goals, awful first touches and passes he has every game.

How would you like us to play him? - on the bench preferably

He is useless and the reason we won't get play offs at the moment.

I think you need to have a kip mate

In what way is his statement boring? Or is it that you can't face the reality of the fact that our most expensive ever signing is pants?

To be fair I don't think we really had the chance to sign Wood permanently when he was here. And I seem to remember 90% of the twats on here banging on about how shit he was and how he wasn't good enough for us. At eighteen years old.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Always find it amusing the total ends of the scale arguments - "he's absolute shit" and "he's our best striker" he had a poor game tonight but personally, Lua Lua excepted, the whole team had a poor game.

Cos he says it after every game! Its so f***ing boring. We've lost 5 games out of 23 in the 2nd tier and all people do is moan. Bore off.

 

[shaolinpunk]

For comic value tonight there was nothing better than Buckley running into CMS, both of whom hit the deck and Millwall casually taking the ball and going down the other end

 

[Mutts Nuts]

When McSmudger is on the pitch we are effectively playing with 10 men, he does not fit in to this team.And Barnes why is he even on the bench,we do not have a striker capable of playing at this level

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

At least the money we get for CMS in January will be re-invested in a striker who can stick the ball in the back of the net , you cannot rely on a player who is converting 1 out of 10 chances.
