I don't think it is Smallbone, it's Clucas with a shaven head.

I was going to post previously how disappointed I am with him. He's powder puff.
He just doesn't look up to this level. It's like he's never played proper competitive football before.
He's used to games (i.e. under 23s or whatever they call it now) where player's stand off their opponents.

I have been shocked how poor he is on all aspects of the game, I used to watch Tom Ince because I couldn't believe how poor he was, this season I have watched Smallbone and he is just as bad of not worse, he ducks headers, misses tackles and has not one jot of creativity. A waste of a place, DWP has got to be a better option surely

I think he’d only made 15 first appearances (how many minutes, not a clue) before he’d joined us.

Just look at the state of our loan players:
Smallbone - toss Fosu - toss Kilkenny - who? Delap - 0 in 7 Clarke - 😐
How can all 5 loan be so fucking disastrous

Same goes for Sterling who was as poor as anyone else today.

Looked a good player when he first came but like most players nowadays they turn to shit after a few weeks here.

One look at wiki when we signed him and I knew in about 10 seconds we had wasted yet another loan.

We're totally insipid, dull, lifeless and boring, hence the ground was only a quarter full. The last few seasons have exemplified this? It's the the hope that kills you and now we have no hope

Don't single out a player when the problem is far more deep rooted.
We really are not very good. We really aren't a big club and if anything, we are punching above our weight.
How sad is that?

He’s absolutely wank. There’s no physicality about him whatsoever, which would be fine if he could compensate in other areas but he’s not quick, not particularly skilful, as we saw against Hull he couldn’t finish on a pornstars face if she was kneeling in front of him and he holds on to the ball about as well as Bruce Jenner held on to his. He’s a complete passenger, a luxury player who is about as luxurious as a rusted out Lada with a tramp sleeping in the back seat of it in a puddle of his own piss. Think that just about covers it!!! 😁

We’ve only finished a season below the position we’re currently in about eight or nine times in our entire history. In what way are we punching above our weight?

I've tried to withhold comment and give him time but he is basically useless.
Someone described him as a bald Sam Clucas which I actually think is insulting to Clucas who at least occasionally puts in a shot that doesn't sail over the bar.
Absolutely toss.

Currently far too weak to be effective in professional football. Needs some strengthening before he plays again.

I think he has potential but right now, he looks really ropey. Is this going to be another one of those signings where we have to play them or risk being fined?

Who knows but you’d expect whatever the penalties are to have been priced in with him. Not like we wouldn’t have had a clue that a fit Nick Powell would be a better bet as a AM/10 or whatever.

Too many powder puff players showing our very weak under belly especially when it calls for a bit of rolling sleeves up and fire. This is not what SCFc should be about and its time we introduced some steel in our players or get rid. Powell, Cluca, Smallbone Fosu Fox etc etc etc

Hopefully AN can fuck them off in January and try to build something that slightly resembles a decent footy team. if we continue to play like we did against watford, qpr, reading, etc i'd be shocked if we avoid relegation this year.

No way Smallbone would play if Powell was fit. Tymon plays and Fosu is benched. Souttar is fit and Flint is a bench player. I assume Clarke was number one and either Sterling or Fosu was understudy.

Thought he was excellent v Blackpool
astonishingly & excruciatingly bad v Boro
below average to poor in the other games
really disappointed with his passing
