If you mean Smith, then I agree. Very solid today but very odd he should be picked out in any way. Credit where credits due, no? |

Considering the criticism he continues to get for his defending (and lack of praise for his attacking as top of the assists chart) it feels only fair that side of his game is praised today. He made 4x the number of tackles as the rest of the defence combined. |

Played well against a crap side. Last time out, shite against a good side. He’s just an average mid table Championship right back. Depending on our true intentions next season depends whether he fits the bill.

A brainless tackle which basically gave us -1 points because they would never have scored that many without his fuckwittery. Were you busy? |

Was a braindead challenge but hardly the worst player on the pitch that night. |

Average mid table championship right back who got the second highest number of assists in this league at his previous club, the same as Tom Cairney. |

He's painfully average. |

He's not alone there. Never professed he was anything more, just never got the disproportionate grief he gets just because he's keeping out a local lad |

He’s played reasonably well since he got back in the side. Leeds aberration apart.
He’s the best we’ve got in that position but I would look to improve there in the coming months.

No they'd have scored 4 Yes because that's how football works. If we'd gone in 0-0, they automatically would have scored the four they did. In reality of course the longer it went on at 0-0, the more tense they would have got. It was a colossal act of dickery from a supposed experienced professional. Luckily it seems like we've gotten away with it but we need two full backs in the window as a matter of extreme urgency. |

A left back is a matter of urgency as is a goal keeper that can save a shot and catch a cross ( I dont think Davies is the answer) For me Smith is the least of our problems |

Smith isn't exactly, the least of our worries, as he can make some stupid decisions, but I'm hoping for a lot more next year. He was kind of okay at the beginning of the season, then meh at the beginning of O'Neill, when full backs were told not to go over the half way line. He has definitely started to come into his own in the latter stages of the season though. He's got a handful of important assists. A few less errors in his game and he will be a really good asset for us.
As much as we may want to, there's no way you can sell a whole team in the summer and just make a new one gel four weeks later. Right back is nowhere near the priority position that left back is.

Its basic common sense really, the increased likelihood of goals late in games is often linked to fatigue so if there are early goals, the likelihood of total goals is higher. |

I was starting to warm to him before Leeds.
But.
A highly experienced right back. Played in the Prem.
To give away that penalty. At that stage of the game. In such a pivotal moment.
Bordering on unforgivable.
He’s got a lot of making up to do.

A significant correlation is easy to report, and I don’t doubt it’s truth here to be honest. But a ‘direct correlation’ usually implies a strong (greater than 0.6-0.8) correlation, which I would only believe over a high n and multiple divisions/seasons. It’s just a bit of a bold sentence to write is all. |

Early goal, it was the 45th minute? |
