Looks like we've got to keep him now we've loaned out the option.

Yer the problem is not with Matt Smith himself, it's the way the tactics seem to change when he comes on that's the problem. Like you say, use the wingers and get crosses in the box, that's where he is really dangerous

What you don't do is isolate him and lump the fvcker up in the air from 60m away.
You can coach this problem away in training. The ball stays on the ground until the final third whenever Smith is up front. £500 fine each contravention. Supplier of Smith assist in games picks up the float. Job done.

The loss in parachute payment doesn't prevent the board from negotiating deals. It totally depends on whether or not they want to be in the running for a play off spot (and the possibility of more paras in a couple of years time ;) )Last edited by hal9thou; 28-01-2019, 11:30 PM.

Obviously we keep him. We need to adjust how we keep him.
Like I said elsewhere, throughout his career the minute he steps on the park the ball has gone airborne. It needs to go in behind, wide and deep and on the deck so that Pav can get in from there. Which is another reason for not playing PW out of position as recently suggested. ;)
Watching Smith play last season with those long diagonal balls in and no support for about half a mile took months off my life. Give him wide service and someone to maximise on the chaos and it becomes such a simple game.

Changed the game when he came on.
Also, Chair looks a proper player.

Yeah I agree we need him and wingers like BOS and Pav to feed him.

Smith overall has been great and while he is limited he always gives his all and seems to be very popular with the other players.
