God knows why he took Samatta off. He was giving them something to think about, then that Swansea reserve comes on and touches it once as heads the ball back into our own area and that was about it. Trezeguet was his usual rubbish self as well.

I agree. Baston looked really poor and almost gifted spurs a goal. Offered nothing, y strange sub.

His moaning about var was stupid. He should be dealing with these amateur defensive errors that are costing us most weeks.

You can’t compare this year to last year for fairly obvious reasons.

I have my doubts about Smith but actually think if we go down he’ll be kept for the promotion push and if we stay up it’s not a certainty the board would stick with him if it’s a tight finish.

You think? I can’t see them sacking him if we stay up. It will be a huge gamble to stick with smith if we go down. I also am worried about what type of players he would go for after the shit signings of baston drink water and Wesley

Maybe he'll sign shit players like Mings, Samatta, Guilbert and Heaton.

Or superb players like wesley drinkwater el ghazi trezeguet jota kalinic and hause.

Jesus, Baston has played five minutes of football and is a shit signing? He was also on a free as we clearly didn't have more funds after splashing out on Samatta and before that Wesley in the CF position.

He looked utter shit yesterday.  His only contribution was almost gifting them a goal. Complete panic buy

5 minutes isn't enough time to pass any sort of considered comment on a player.

He's had a poor season. Hasn't proven that he's good enough at this level and with the kind of backing behind us he would be lucky to keep his job even should we stay up.

AEG was having a stormer and Samatta didn't need subbing yesterday.

Smith's biggest mistake is in not bringing in a proper defence coach - this is what will cause our demise, not his substitutions.

Please explain what is needed to be defensively coached.

I think he did it as a 'lump it up' option to try and nick a goal in the last few minutes.

You can't judge him on a few minutes, but you could see that he's no pace, and we looked distinctly worse when Samatta went off.

Another point on smith why the helm did he puss so many peope foraard at such a vital stage of the game?? Jesus there is no way with 90 seconds left we should only havetwo have players back.

His naive and quite frankly idiotic decisions at times are costing us points. A point and a gaol goal conceded could be vital come end of season

And Brighton. Where a defender scored the winner in the 94th minute, when perhaps he should have been in his own half securing the point?

AEG was terrific outlet in first half yesterday. At start of second had shot on target and won corner for second. I'm a critic as I think he's much better than he's shown for most of the season.. Just another incredibly inconsistant young player who''s struggled with the level of this league, we have a few of them.

The reality is though after the hour mark we ceased to be an attacking threat in the final third and it became very much a case of scrapping out a 2-2 so I didn't really mind the subs yesterday bar perhaps bringing on Hourihane and making the midfield narrower.
