old_eastender Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Ever since he came to the club, have loved Korey's all action style. Normally his passing is good and he helps bridge defence and attack. However, he was awful against Burton, constantly gifting the opposition the ball with misplaced short passes. That was worst performance I had ever seen from him, today was only marginally better. The episode where he received the ball from just 10 feet away from our free kick, slipped over, lost the ball to their player then had to foul him and get booked typified how far off his best he was again. Please can we have the old Korey Smith back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Rich Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Sums up how you view the game in my opinion. I watched that slip and thought there's going to be a post on here about how he's had a bad game. Because there are 3-4 poster on here who let standout moments dictate their memory of a whole match/performance. Karey had a decent game broke up play well dropped into the back line to cover and even after this slip (which if you're actually being rationally is hard to blame him for) he was on his feet and chasing back to cover - even taking a yellow for the team. _ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfire Corner Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 He didn’t have a bad game, just a couple of uncharacteristic mistakes. Overreaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INCRED Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Thought he was ok today along with the rest of the team. An ok performance with a 1-0 win that was ground out against a team who tried to stifle us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezo Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Not up to standard he has been upto most of the season but he has played a lot of games and I assume he is not 100%. Give it 3 or so games and I think we may rest him for a couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winsaw Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 To be honest after a few poor games I thought he found a bit of form today, he did everything we want him to do, broke the play up very well and never gave their attacking plays any time on the ball, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dullmoan Tone Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 He was great, he broke up so much play - not as good as Pack today but Korey does not warrant this thread. I would not swap him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 I would hope that the critics of Korey Smith don't slip on the snow at their respective places of work in front of 20,000 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red7 Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Thought he was poor against Burton, but he had a better game today. Not quite his normal high standards, but the same could be said of Bobby and others today. Win was all that mattered today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hantsred Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Not sure if it was Smith or just our midfield set-up but the midfield as a whole was bizarre today. There was more than one occasion where we had a row of 4-5 at the back and a row of 4-5 at the front line but with not a sole in between. In addition Patterson and Brownhill were quite often seen around the defence area , behind our wing backs and with a defensive minded Pack and Smith we just seemed to lack a joined up fluidity and offensive minded system today.

Yep makes an already tough job for a midfield 2 even tougher. There was no link for them to pass forward to and rarely support when they broke up play to pick up the loose ball. Was just 4 forward with the fullbacks almost wide midfielders at times. Has to make it tough on the ball knowing if your pass is off then they will be in on goal. Our setup was chaotic at best. Got the 3 points but on that performance, it doesn’t bode well for our playoff chances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carey 6 Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Korey Smith was a lot better yesterday than he was at Burton. On two occasions recently, one was the Bolton game & I can’t remember who the other game was against, but he let a player run too far instead of taking a booking and they’ve scored from the chance. Yesterday, taking him down cynically after losing the ball proves he’s already learnt from those two previous mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 So Korey had a poor game at Burton and not exactly his usual self yesterday? He's human and entitled to an off day now and again. Pack didn't put a foot wrong eh? It was him who messed up the free kick which resulted in Korey getting the yellow card yesterday. Pack is not my favourite player but he had a good first half but was not so effective in the second. As to the free kick mentioned. From his body language, I and probably many others, thought Pack would have a shot at goal. I suspect that he changed his mind in his approach to the ball, pushed it square to Korey, who certainly wasn't expecting it and who slipped. Recovered enough to commit a foul and get a yellow thanks to Pack's indecision. Why are we as a team, seemingly afraid to shoot for goal? Without looking at stats, I only remember two efforts on target in the second half. Milan's goal and a shot from MOM Lloyd Kelly. He'll soon be told it's not allowed to try a shot from outside of the box! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
