Galactico 0 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 SUPERB !!! Controlled defence and attack from start to finish and put some pride into wearing the fucking badge. Get him and Joey starting against Reading with Xisco and Andy upfront and even with all our problems we look strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30162 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Did very well, looks like he's found his level. I'd say getting the captain's armband has probably helped him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusoda Kid 1 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 The best I've seen him in a toon top, controlled aggression for 90 minutes, hope it continues and the rest of the players copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Bob Almighty! 0 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Did do a lot better than usual today but still wasnt what i would call outstanding, lost possession a fair bit early on and didnt particularly offer anything going forward, his work rate was great though, and didnt seem to send too many passes stray.

I think he was told to do a job (holding midfield) and done it, great tracking back as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marko 0 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I also thought he was superb from the game you could see what his job was. Just to break up west broms play and sit as a holding midfielder. Did very well, him and Krul were our two best players yesterday definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to break up west broms play and sit as a holding midfielder. Did very well, him and Krul were our two best players yesterday definitely. Whilst our worst were the two clowns from Argentina. Collocini takes the highlights (as does any dodgy NUFC centreback) but my patience ran out with Guiterrez a while back, he started brightly but is now known by me as 'blind alley' Jonas. He runs into defenders and tries to do the impossible and is also starting to embarrass us with his diving which is becoming frequent, his passing is very, very poor and his reluctance to take a man on when in a good postion and have a shot has me pulling my hair out, he has a phobia about shooting, if I was a team mate he'd get the hair dryer treatment from me, never mind the manager, (if we had one). How he never came off was baffling, our goal came about when Shola ignored the overlapping Jonas which would have been a decent pass to be fair, but he would have wasted it, instead he passed to Nolan who played in to Duff who took it very well, more of that kind of play please, lads. Jonas is seriously disrupting any flowing play we might produce, he's a liability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on that like - It was a toss up between him and Ryan Taylor as to who wasted the ball the most - I would give Lua Lua a go in the right wing and put duff onto the left and get a right back asap. I would even give Geremi a go, I know he can't run but his positioning is so much better than Taylors I don't think he would get exposed as often.

wykikitoon 19804 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Smithy was mint yesterday and his link up with Duff was excellent, please let it continue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoog 0 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Yep, I've got to say I thought he did really well yesterday, impressive. Thought Jonas was a bit iffy in spells and Ameobi was shite (should have played Ranger from the start), but generally it was a much better performance than I expected.

The Fish 10663 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Fwiw I thought he was MoM yesterday but I'm still not comfortable calling him "Smithy" or "Smudger" He's got a lot of work to attone for previous performances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smoggeordie 0 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Just seen a replay of the WBA goal. If you watch it again and just watch Coloccini, you'll be gobsmacked at how bad he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21759 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 like a lot of our players, i think he has found his level. duff looked good too but can we keep hold of either of them on premiership wages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6452 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 How much do we get in parachute payments? Surely it would be worth keeping all the worthwhile players for a year to see if we can get back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggiespaws 0 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Funniest moment had to be when the BBC played a slow-mo of Smith bollocking Guttierez after wasting another opportunity. "Give it some fucking thought!" whilst pointing at the side of his head. Mrs Paws was quite tickled by that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
