In many quarters, we've already lost the game. Even with the boon of a new manager, people are still rather negative. So anything we get from this game is a bonus, really, or that is the feeling I get on here.
So, why risk further injury to kuipers in a game which we've mostly accepted we'll lose anyway?
On top of that,. though it was only 45mins, Smith kept a clean sheet on Tuesday, which will have given him some confidence.
Barring injury, we should have the same back four for the third game in a row. How often have we said that this year? And I thought they showed more composure on tuesday than they did on sunday, seeming better awareness (I noticed a few times when El Abd was out of position Tunnicliffe and Whing covered him, and when whing wa sout of position tunnicliffe covered him - they are getting to know each other and forming a good unit).
Factoring in the risk to further injury to kuipers, I say give Smith the chance.
