DS: "It’s a huge amount, yeah. People keep talking about we can’t beat the top teams. It’s not rocket science. You play the teams in & around you, they’re the type of games you’re meant to win & compete inFound this comment appalling from Smith if he thinks just beating those teams around us is enough then he is deluded.One of the trademarks of teams that stay up after a relegation fight is the ability to get points from teams near the top when they are not supposed too
Granted it was a short cameo but Baston looked an utter carthorse when he came on.
We’re very similar to Norwich. Play decent football on our day, frequently plucky losers, carried by a few good players, fatally lacking in football smarts, bottled too many big games.

From the interview, I find it absurd he actually wanted to press high up the pitch.Why do that against a team like Spurs?

Engels had too much ground to cover and not enough pace.Yeah daft. Spurs have bags of pace in their team. Also playing Drinkwater in a 2 man midfield is just bonkers.
I’d we’d had Samatta all season I think we’d be in much better place.
