Would happily never see him play for us again. (Even he scores a hat trick in this game from this point 😂) Talk about 180 degree change from the last match. I don't think 🤔 I've ever seen a player walk towards a cross attempt in a Stoke shirt. Total mercenary. Needs fucking off for Fosu. I thought he was average in that one mind. He’s just garbage.

I’ll finish the thread title off for the OP. ‘Will Smallbone please fuck off back to Southampton’. Absolute wet flannel in a team full of fannie’s. Feel a bit sorry for AN. When he came in he said he won’t stand for anything less than 100% desire and commitment. If none of them show any he can’t drop them all can he!

I thought he was average in that one mind. He’s just garbage. He's not one I'd be interested in keeping now after seeing his best and worst. His above average was good the other day but his worst is a joke 🤣 jogging on defense and not blocking crosses. No thanks, good bye.

He's not sticking to his word.

He's not sticking to his word. I’d add Brown to that list as well. First half, ball flashed across the face of goal and nobody gambled. Nobody could make the effort to sprint 5 yards and anticipate it coming in. I’d put money on Gayle or Brown being there if they were on. Campbell and Delap just sauntered into the box. Fosu shouldn’t be dropped and fox has been in good form. The starting 11 today have been absolutely gash. Full on toss. Anyway, I’m going to start getting my hopes up for the World Cup now. Even if we go out at the group stage it can’t be any worse than this

I would not even take him to Dubai. Put him back in his car and tell him which direction South is. He will need some help as he seems lost. Could end up in Carlyle. Probably about his level.

Smallbone no backbone. Totally unsuited for this league. Do we actually scout them or pick names out of a hat?

After his"better" performance against Luton, we can always hope that his new manager may recall him back to Southampton in January. Fingers crossed he does anyway.

God only knows how he continues to get selected. In most games he offers the sum total of fuck all.

Looks like the Smallbone love-in was short lived. Can't believe he has a contract with a premier league club (well for the time being anyway). Weakest player I think I've ever seen pull on the red & white stripes. You never saw Tony Ellis then.

Think they sent him here to toughen him up. It's not worked.

Absolutely shite.
Can't tackle, can't pass, can't shoot, can't run, can't press.
The archetypal 'identikit' midfielder that has been produced by football academy's since circa. 2010.
We need a destroyer to sit in front of two (not three) centre-backs.

We need a destroyer to sit in front of two (not three) centre-backs. Agree with that. Good British midfielders are very few and far-between now. The best squads in England rely on foreign talent to create flair. If there wasn’t a rule for homegrown players to be required in the PL, most wouldn’t stand a chance. Players like Smallbone will likely do well in a team where the creativity is provided by someone else. He’ll just be there to recycle possession and bore us all to death.

I blame the manager for picking him , got to have someone better than him , a player who wants to prove something and gives 100% Smallbone doesn’t care and it shows . Back to his own club please in January to play in the reserves

Agreed, no coincidence his good game the other night was in front of his new “real” boss and on Saturday just back to match practice playing for a team he has no vested interest in. Plus, just been called up to Ireland squad, doesn’t want to get injured for that (which I understand) I would imagine as he has a vested interest in that.
