Smith is making a rod for his own back in many ways.
He keeps playing the same shit players. He had a transfer window to rectify the weak areas. January is a tough time, but fucking hell.
I thought the window was crap, and I don't think he rectified much. The performance at Reading was inept and tonight, well, there we are. Hause and Carroll will bring nothing to this squad, of that I'm pretty sure. A lumbering centre back and a pipsqueak.
Smith seems inept, also. He isn't doing a good job at all. The players aren't helping in any way, shape or form.
Keep playing Hutton, Taylor, Hourihane, El Ghazi and see where it gets you.
If Whelan doesn't start, play Jedinak, and then bring Whelan on later. See where that gets you.
Next time, bring back Adomah, Bjarnason, maybe Elmohamady...they aren't going to solve anything. Basically we have a shit squad of shit players.
Very very poor this evening.
Rant over. Apologies.
