I feel a bit sorry for Conor, he's hit some cracking free kicks, but the way things are going he won't make the top 10 for goal of the season for us.
They weren't given the chance because of our wingers on and off the ball.
If jack is injured it will be interesting to see what Smith does. The obvious option is to move hourihane forwards and play Whelan deep. But hourihane doesn't offer anything like what jack offers. I wouldn't say he was great v WBA but if you watch the highlights jack is involved in so much of what we do going forwards with his running and passing ability
That threat didn't really happen He's really growing in me in that deep role. If jack is injured it will be interesting to see what Smith does.

He is no where good enough in the defensive midfield role, he can’t tackle, does not close down space and is not involved enough.

May not happen, of course, because he has had such little gametime, but he's the obvious replacement.
