Vokes & Smithy

[nomoremithras4me]

First time they have both been on the pitch together I think? What do we reckon then? I thought they looked good together, Vokes flicking the ball on, interchanging well, created a couple of half chances between them with Vicente linking well on the break. Like to see more of the pair?

Promising. CMS very good on the right wing and they looked very happy to see each other when he came on.

I thought it was poor. CMS isn't that great at beating a player or putting a ball in, and we lost our shape, giving them a lot of space from where Barnes would have been. Restricts the wingers+full backs a lot more

I worry about CM-S. I think he need's a great big hug and a cuddle and to be told he is loved. I certainly love him. Alas I think it is highly unlikely he will be with us next season which is a crying shame for me.

Neither of them are scoring enough they are letting the team down.

When he came on, CMS was pretty effective at skinning his man on the wing, but if thats to be his new role then his final ball was atrocious. As for an interplay with Vokes, how the hell does anybody know where CMS is going to be at any given moment? Sometimes you can run about TOO much IMHO. That's why the manager is so loathe to take off Barnes. Players know EXACTLY where to find Barnes when we're on the attack - dead centre, about a foot back from the penalty spot.

CM-S from hero and the new messiah to warming a bench for 70 minutes every game. Can't be good for his confidence which I think shows.

 

[Drpepper]

CMS will go in the summer.fact

Lol.

Vokes has 3 in 6 starts. 50% is the benchmark for a striker.

We should have let Reading have him , he does not fit in to the Gus way of playing the game.I hope he is not with us next season,the problem is who is going to want a striker that only scores 10 or 11 goals in a season at this level,he only scored 7 for posh at this level

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Didn't work for me. But you have to try these things. I actually think CMS will come good next season, playing a different role between midfield and forward.

I fail to see how anyone could think that their time on the pitch showed promise. Personally, think CMS should have stayed on the bench and leave Buckley on.

If he was doing his job he would be playing but he aint,he needs to score goals not run around like a headless chicken

This, CMS is a 3rd division player

Well Gus should change it then as he sold the club to CMS and told him we'd build a team aroiund him not him fit into how we play.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Reading going up = £4m bid for CMS allegedly. Great result at West Ham for Reading and us today then

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I still believe in Craig and think in the right team he could catch the championship alight.

 

[ees complicated no?]

2 fowards and 2 wingers = better team

Blame the midfield. It's their job to feed the forwards not starve them.
