Yeah he's looked decent in the context of filling in out-of-position.

Against West Ham, and since he's come on today, it's like we're playing with a man less in the middle of the park - as demonstrated by both goals we've now conceded.

We might inadvertently have hampered his development and he might end up better in another position.

Remember when being beaten by more than two goals was unusual and a sign of a really poor performance? Now it's just accepted, it happens regularly and nobody bats an eyelid, we must all just be numb to it now or something

It happens to so many teams regularly now though. Chelsea beating Leeds 3-0, City beating Wolves 3-1. Brighton beating Man U by 4 😁

Its just normal now, because the league is so unequal.

Can’t help but feel it’s the beginning of the end for Delia now

its marketable to have a go at her, it’ll generate clicks.

Really, how so?  That fantastic start of 5pta in 10 games?

For me if he's going to play anywhere it has to be at the back because he doesn't have the athleticism or, more importantly, the awareness - which to be fair would hamper him at the back too but at least most of the play is in front of him in that situation.

So disappointed with Rashica. That was just garbage.  Championship may well be his highest level. Glad to see Rowe given the nod. 

He hasn't wanted to be here for several games yet STILL gets selected ahead of our own young players. It's totally outrageous management by Smith. Beyond belief that Smith believes only a few changes are needed in the summer with the bulk of the squad being proven winners!

Many times but not every week.

I seem to recall he won his last away game

Remember when Leeds were “back where they belong” in the premier league?

interesting how quickly the meme died and the pundits abandoned them.

I want to believe but I just don't think Smith is the answer. Once again tragic substitutions have changed a game.

We won't see his like again.

[percy varco 253]

Dean Smith out. 
cannot motivate a team. his teams have no identity. 
most of these players will be here and Smith cannot get any fight into them.

We can still win this

I was going to post why we would have been easier to support under Farke but it's too soon. We may well have been just as incompetent, directionless, irrelevant and abject failures under his tenure as well.

Possible, there could be a more circumspect full-back in him. I think he's another who needs a good pre-season under his belt and without getting injured / neglected if on Denmark U23s duty. Normann's looked ****e since his injury and Lungi's looked a yard off too.

[Nexus_Canary 1,206]

WTF was Smith thinking with that XI.

F**king idiot needs to be kicked out before he ruins my team.

No, we were looking pretty ropey.

Pretty ropey is ****ing streets ahead of this.

In November. The first win in a League which started in August.

I can’t see any reason at all why we’d have fared better - the simple fact is the squad isn’t up to it.  Perhaps Webber should have gone rather than DF but it wasn’t going to happen.

People crying for DF seem to have forgotten Leeds at home and Chelsea away. I don’t think I’ve seen worse.

For all the slating of the selection tonight, we were better first half and it should have been 1-0 at the break.  Odd people have completely forgotten that, it was only an hour ago…

Pukki's body language is awful tonight, not surprising, but where's his head at re next season I wonder?

Chelsea away! Christ I'd forgotten that.
