Did Smith play Reina at Anfield for sentimental reasons?

Every game we have at least one player you don't realise is on the pitch until half time. So many games where it's like we're playing with ten men.Davis is nowhere near good enough and having to play our way out of a relegation dogfight with this young lad upfront is absolute damnation of Pitarch and Purslow's management of our club. True. But then we went out and bought a striker and he can’t get into the side over a kid who is horribly short of the required quality at this level. Why does Dean Smith think Keinan Davis is a better option in a relegation fight than a more established and significantly better footballer in Samatta?

Is Smith sending a message to Purslow and the owners about the overall lack of quality and by going for Davis over Samatta, he is saying that we have wasted the Samatta money?

The worst thing is watching two old Brummie Red school pals on Facebook giving it the casual: "3 points is 3 points. The spark needs to be reignited though. Definitely need Bobby on from the start too."30 years of hurt guy? I don't know how you cope.

It’s a choice between a bloke who’s scored one Premier League goal for us and a bloke who’s scored no Premier League goals for us.
