A shot on target would be nice. I just can't get my head round why Smith has not given Archer a chance. He is currently sitting at home as he has not been selected to train with the first team as the clueless one prefers Vassilev who still does not get a look-in over Davis or Samatta.


yep, its just baffling. Play Samatta, he's shows nothing at all. ok i'll try Davis, he shows nothing at all. okay i'll play Samatta and so on and so on. If you're 2 forwards have a goal scoring record that would shame a centre half then maybe try someone else ffs.

Smith has lost it. He has Archer (18 years old starring for the U23s) sitting at home who has not even been chosen to train with the first team. He would offer far more than what we currently have. It beggars belief. I don't care if people think I am banging on about it. I know I am right. If he had been given a chance earlier on I am convinced we would not be where we are now. Just look at the videos of him in action on the H&V FB Page to see what he is capable of.

My post from another thread is probably best suited here. I’d like to get an owners perspective at the end of the season and see if their plan has changed and how ?......

I think DS will be ok to get us out of the championship again but it’s gonna take a couple of years. Even with the likes of our best half a dozen players sold I don’t feel the others are gutsy performers for 2 games a week ..... if DS has some choice of championship players to buy or get on loan without Suso he may be ok.. I don’t know why but Richard o Kelly pisses me off more than Deano.
Other than Luiz I can’t seem AelG , Trez stopping on top of the better players going, and the squad for championship doesn’t seem the same without fighters such as Snoddy, Albert, Chessie, Hutton, Tammy

Can see us down but think it’s gonna take longer to get back up this time
I really wonder what our owners are thinking ?

Do the full parachute payments kick in again if we go down?

I accepted relegation ages ago. Just yesterday I said I want to see us win 1 game before the season ends. Realistically I'd like to see us score a goal before the end of the season.
The club did too AFAIC. We've struggled since the start of d member and here we are 7 months later and thos in charge have done nothing. It's fucking negligence the bunch of charlatans.

P.s. I don't want Smith at this club now let alone next season. He has been a disaster and is miles out if his depth.

well it doesn't matter if you're right about him. its an alternative to something that we can plainly see isn't working so what have you lost? But if you don't even bother trying.............

We are still in it but after tonight I can’t see us winning another game this season. No fight from management or players. Disgraceful!!

Assuming there are no injuries or anything he cannot possibly be worse than the two duds we currently use.

You'll get very good odds on us staying up if you're confident.

How many times has there been young players chomping at the bit who would be bound to save us if only given a chance, but then have turned out to be pretty shit? 

Cameon Archer may well turn out to be a superstar, but the reason we are being relegated is not just because we didn't place all our chips on an untested 18 year old to save us.
