Thought his post game analysis was spot on about us being wide open. Post game, Smith generally sums up the game well. But if we are wide open it's his job to correct it during the game with tactical changes.

There's literally no other sub that was worth making. Other than for injuries and suspensions, he'll be swapping Trez and Traore for the foreseeable future.

Thing is we are light up top off the bench. If we need to chase a game our options are poor. If we need to shore up a game our options are pretty good.
