The bigger problem is centre midfield. Both too deep and don't get forward. Smith is turning into a bit of a scapegoat IMO

There is no drive from the middle , we are playing at such a slow pace and have stopped closing teams down .

Another poor first half , come on Malky you have to respond now!

Sorry but I don't think he is playing well. Against derby he was appalling but then many of the team were. Gives the ball away too often

I think Smith should sit in front of the back 4 and have whitts on the left with kimbo on the right :ayatollah:

If Malky isn't going to drop Whittingham then at least pack the midfield, put Cowie in with him so he does the dirty work and gets Whittingham doing the more attacking work. Shocking how Kimbo hasn't been given a chance and Mutch has vanished off the face of the earth. Mcphail would be brilliant in this sort of role right now.

I don't think Smith is the problem - I am afraid it is Whitts who last year was our star player.

He is a shadow of his former self and its leaving Gunnarsson to try and fight the centre midfield single handed.

I agree with the comment that Kimbo's treatment is "astonishing" - most people sitting near me seem to be desparate to see him to add some penetration and energy from the centre of midfield.

It is great that Malky knows how to be loyal to his star players but I think his judgement at the moment is being blurred by it.

However he has got a fit bunch of players who go right to the final whistle - massive point tonight I think! So well done even if we didn't play very well.
