CheddarReds Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Gutted we didn't offer him a contract as I loved him. Can fully understand why though. Two serious injuries in the two seasons before hand, younger promising central midfielders coming back from loans/ Williams made available due to Wigan's circumstances. If we gave him another 2 year deal and he got another serious injury while Walsh for example was on loan doing the business at Championship level for Coventry the club would be getting slammed for their decision making then too. Enjoyed watching Smith on Saturday too, he did well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinapig Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 We had to get rid because we had too many midfielders. Then we signed Brunt. I love a bit of joined up thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petehinton Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Played through the restart last season risking injury knowing he wouldn’t be getting a new deal. Had to get someone to sabotage Bristol post to announce him leaving as the club were taking so long. Says it all really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let the heart beat of our club go for nothing, replace with Brunt (:laugh:). Spineless. For the millionth time Williams was his replacement, not Brunt. Really sad that people repeatedly make this point to have a dig at Brunt, who may not have worked out but has been available far more often than Williams or Walsh. In the last 2 seasons Korey started 19/46 and 3/46, well done you if you knew he would have an injury free season, I didn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith should’ve easily been retained, knowing how compacted this season is going to be, the fact he can play multiple positions, is a top guy off the pitch, it’s character as much as anything. Btw, your point re the injury makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We brought in Williams, recalled Walsh & at the time Morrell, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickolas Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 The first was nothing more than a 3 yard pass and an amazing curled effort. Hard to call it an assist. the 2nd however, wow what a cross. But hes playing most weeks and proving us massively wrong to let him go! Hindsight yes, but a poor move by the club ( although we couldnt have known the injuries we were going to get!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Bristol City Smith- (In his latter Days) Injured, esp in 2018/.19. Okay bit flippant but who is to say he would be fit and flourishing here right now? Hell- if still here, he might be injured! Let's be honest it wouldn't be a huge surprise. Bit of revisionism, or recency bias at play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon79 Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Believe he’s playing further forward for Swansea than he did for us. Which I believe is where he started for Norwich, almost a number 10 if you like. Good player at this level & currently better than what we kept imo. Really top bloke.

MATT BCFC Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Right now it feels like a terrible decision to let him go and get Brunt in who let's be honest hasn't been great, is injured and probably on more money. Saying this letting Morrell go still feels like a worse decision which is saying something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
