I just don’t see what he does. Doesn’t work hard, always plays the easy pass (usually sideways or backwards), can’t tackle, doesn’t track back, can’t seem to shoot - basically he’s a passenger in games

Even his easy passes are shit! Don't know how he's getting a shirt, Even to sit and watch in!

I actually thought he started very brightly today, he was really looking for the ball and making himself available. I'd say he had more of the ball than anyone in the first 10-15 minutes. Then just reverted to ineffectual type.

Looked bright enough first 10 minutes of the 2nd half ,bar that was useless.
Then again was he any worse than Fox ,Laurent, Baker ,Gayle and Brown to name but 5 ?

Plays in Brown, Brown blasts it over. Lots of good balls to put us in around the back of the Norwich defence only to be wasted time after time. So yeah let’s just take it out on Smallbone! Maybe he’s been disappointing sometimes but for the most part he did his job properly today. BM |

I just don't rate him mate at all, football is about opinions and that's mine. |

Yet again we are in a situation where highlighting one player does absolutely no good at all.
Surely we have been in this tailspin long enough for people to realise that a single individual is not the root of the problem.

Just do not understand what the manager sees in him that most of us don't. Should have been taken off at HT latest. So weak, slows us up and most of his rare successful passes are backwards.

Was the only player willing to receive the ball and do something useful with it! Why don't you pick on Baker who was dreadful again!  |

I’d did and thought he showed promise and glimpses of talent but he’s starting to boil my piss and Powell needs to start!!!

Easily nudged off the ball, not creative, fail to see what he offers.

Big mistake us not replacing Sawyers or Vrancic in this team imo, no link up play with the forwards. Small bone, just another loan player who knows he won’t be here next season

When Stoke loose I try (without success) to not read or comment on the Oatcake but can not resist this thread.
Reluctant as I am to criticise individuals I thought he was awful. Constantly in good positions to be involved but did nothing and continually gave away the ball.
Very disappointed and do not not know what the answer is.

He was way better than both Baker and Laurent today! One of few players out there in red and white that will play in the Premiership in a couple of years.  |

He's obviously rated down at his parent club, but he certainly isn't showing us why.
I don't know what to make of it all, I'm at a complete loss with this football club lately, we are a complete mess.

At 22 if he was any good he wouldnt be here I am sure. And if he is any good hes holding it back for someone else |

No use targeting individual players when the whole team aren't doing their job...
With a half decent team he may do alright!!!
Smallbone, he's not a tackler...he's not a ball winning midfielder, but what he can do is lacking severely with this team!!!
