Craig Mackail Smith, You are the weakest link.... Goodbye

[bhawoddy]

He's already got more this season than Murray got for the whole of last season.

Strikers thrive on confidence, how does slagging him off after one poor-ish game (in your opinion) in any way help him or us??

Did you think he played well tonight then?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Maybe he has an irritating collar?

 

[terryberry1]

LOL. So that's CMS fault that Hoskins doesn't get a run and that Barnes gets played out of position? But you are right to criticise CMS for that, well done

night Bez

I'm normally a big fan of CMS but he was awful tonight. Poor first touch, poor passing and poor finishing.

In his defence though it didn't help that we kept hoofing long balls up to him when he was being marked by two big bastards.

 

[danish seagull]

It's wasn't just CMS that was poor tonight. Buckley and Greer also had poor games. He did miss a couple of quality chances though :-/

 

[yxee]

He scores a few, unfortunately he seems to miss a whole lot more. Just get the thing on target at least!

Shit answer from someone who FAILED to acknowledge that in my first post blamed the manager!

 

[terryberry1]

Don't you have school in the morning?

Fran Sandaza knew how to score from a couple of yards out

Can't be bothered with you, you are just pointless. Go to bed

That is what i thought....

 

[Flavor Flav]

He was woeful tonight but I really do think we need to play him with a striker who isn't Barnes or Hoskins. He's not as bad as some of the people on here are making out!

And that's where we end, pointless thread, someone who can't argue the point anymore. You lose terry, you loooooooooose

We dont do 4-4-2, and never will whilst Gus is in charge

Grow up Bez you sad little man

Buckley had 2 or 3 tight on him marking for the entire game. Not clever by Jackett; obvious.

A decent team would then have exploited their lack of numbers elsewhere. We didn't.

 

[Bean]

The annoying thing is that if he left for another club he would almost certainly bang them in every week.
That's the thing with Poyet, he's so ignorant that he won't play to CMS's strengths and we see him every week running round but not really doing much. Although, his misses recently have been unforgivable and you can't blame the system for that. I just really wonder if he's all that.

 

[Max Paper]

Grow up Bez you sad little man

Grow up? From when? The game at Charlton (where he scored) or the 0-0 against Forest when all of our strikers scored hat tricks? f*** me YOU have made yourself look like a prick, goodnight terryberry, you ARE the weakest link

 

[Stat Brother]

I'd love to know which striker is the answer when playing in that team for the first half.

All these miracle players who can play 20 yards ahead of his entire team, and have a 100% goals to chances success rate, by virtue of only getting one chance.
All the while, even though he's playing in a team comprising solely of centre midfielders and centre halves, he still finds himself having to do a defensive job on the edge of his own box.

This player, able to do all of that, while playing Championship football and 'only' costing £3.5m, must be ten a penny.


Sure CMS was pony tonight.
Sure it's easy to target him.

But it's the same player who was easy to heap praise on 2 months ago.
