Tom has got a fight on his hands here. Smith was still a bit suspect defensively but if we are to be a front foot side we need assists from all area's, and Tommy Smith has now got two assists in the last two games.
Is Edwards capable of stepping up and improving?

Is Edwards capable of stepping up and improving? Didn’t Smith get something like 14 assists for Huddersfield in their promotion season?

I'd still prefer to have Edwards learning his role there than Tommy "I get lost under every ball, so I stand by someone cus I get scared and blame everyone else whilst standing with my arms up" Smith. Goal again came from his side, whilst following a stoke player instead of an opposition player, also something McClean got loads of shit for in his unnatural position. Almost cost us a second by his poor positioning and his attempt to play offside after playing a man on, well, it was beyond ridiculous!

Jesus Christ, he's shit and he's supposedly on his prime? I thought he was a stalwart for Huddersfield for years? That’s a bit of a credibility killer! 😅

If memory serves Edwards was probably worse for conceding goals from that side. The selling point for him was his delivery but if Smith is doing that and probably defending better then I see no case for Edwards, and it appears O’Neill agrees.

Smith had a fifteen minute period in the second half yesterday when he got caught under the ball four or five times. I understand getting caught once or twice but he kept making the same mistake. Hull realised that and targeted him. Luckily we were 4-0 and 4-1 up at that point.

Yeah Smith was atrocious in the second half and their left winger had him on toast time and time again. Their left winger was really impressive actually. Really quick and timed his runs lovely.

Smith was appalling defensively, against possibly the worst team on planet earth. The goal was a tragedy.

Game of two halves for Smith yesterday. Thought he was superb first half but got given the run around by a twelve year old second half.

I don't think he rates him at all. It's shown already he's willing to give youngsters the chance to play so it isn't that.

This sends the message to both him and everyone else: fuck about/be unprofessional and you don't play. Excellent management. Edwards is young enough to grow up and sort himself out.

Tom Edwards has shown nothing so far to suggest he is anything more than a lower half championship footballer-at best.
I hope he gets his head down and works hard to prove my assessment wrong.

Is there any substance to all these alleged illegal raves that Tom is supposedly having?
It strikes me as nothing more than messageboard tittle tattle.

Congratulations on not seeing last Saturday's game. It wasn’t just Smith that was pathetic last week. Anyway looking at the bigger picture, Tom Edwards is a million miles away from decent Championship full back. Being a local lad, obviously we’re all rooting for him to do well, but from what I’ve seen of his career so far (all of it) I’m not the slightest bit confident he’ll make the grade.

A player told me a few weeks back, is exactly that but didn't give much detail which you can understand. Just said was being a silly lad. Not made himself exactly popular. Lousy attitude
