They were players I could relate to. Smith wondering when the initiation changed from karaoke to wedgies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 33 minutes ago, royalowlisback said: You are probably right - but Hutch was guilty of a few of them last season as well - it's all a bit of a blur, all the soft goals we gave away last season.... I know it will sound strange, but Hutch is a much better Championship player than he is a league 1 player In League 1 it's more about defending set pieces and corners than being good on the ball, I thought Hutch got bullied a bit I expect us to be better at defending our box this year, and with Smith up top I can see us hitting him early If I remember right, Stockdale doesn't hang about when he gets the ball, he often releases the ball early and long It's then up to Smith to protect the ball and bring players around him into play We won't be one dimensional and look to play off the big man all the time, but it's a tactic used a lot in League 1 and it has a great deal of success 1 Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

Had we had the trust in youth at the start of the season we would not have had to waste money on loans of Gibson and Wing when Brennan and Hunt could and should have played a lot more. Well your just writing lines to suit your agenda there We played senior pros at centre back rather that throwing an inexperienced player in that could have not been ready or been torn to bits when he eventually got the chance it was clear that the potential was there but he needed to go out on loan to get regular game time if we our own youth were good enough at the beginning of the season we wouldn’t have had to loan in premier leagues young ones Hunt was and still is way down the pecking order abd like last season needs to go out and play and make is notice out if vaulks bannan byres Dele adrianan and probably another addition do you honestly think Hunt is getting many minutes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloxwich Owl Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Porstmouth & Wycombe are both pursuing a deal to sign Cambridge United forward Sam Smith. Both the Chairboys and Pompey are in the market to bolster their attacking options as they look to mount a promotion challenge in the upcoming 2022-23 League One campaign.

He really ought to sign for the Brewers if they can afford him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hindsight is a great thing I wouldn’t have signed wing but like most I thought it was a coup last year to sign wing When wing was playing Byres wasn’t I think playing Byres ahead of Hunt was the correct call 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expected Wing to be real difference makar at this level and his signing sign of intention by DC. Was very impressed how We managed to bring him in despite transfer embargo.
