Londoner Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 Injured? Unfit? Or just not selected? Could we be starting to see the phasing out of one of our most important players in recent for years? If it is just selection I think LJ has got it spot on because Brownhill is a class act, the future, and offers more going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 There’s two central midfield positions and 3 good central midfielders. Someone will not start. It’s a long season and I expect we will see all combinations of Pack/Smith/Brownhill over the course of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtc1 Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 We clearly dont have a great option with Fam so why not play Smith Pack AND Brownhill in the middle with O’Dowda and maybe Paterson either side. Solid and creative. Smith has to play. If we ever have 100% fit players: Fielding Hunt Webster Baker Kelly Brownhill Pack Smith Paterson Diedhiou Odowda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuffle Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 Korey did himself no favours last night and grabbing the ball that conceded the free kick for their goal was just petulant. Is he out of contract in the summer as maybe that's a factor although it didn't stop Bryan starting. At this stage without Fammy, I'd play Brownhill in behind Weimann and Pack/Smith and COD (although shocking last night)/ Elliason as can't wait another 5 games for Paterson to have his good game. Gives us legs and energy around the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives us legs and energy around the park. Although Korey looked a class above the rest with his forward movement and passing last night, he did deliver several crashing defensive errors, the biggest of which was not giving a simple passback to the keeper when he was under pressure, but instead hanging onto the ball and seemingly trying to win a free kick. Instead he conceded one, which led directly to the goal. Plymouth hardly threatened, but would always have a chance from set pieces and we handed that one to them. BTW, could anyone sitting in the Lansdown tell me what the foul was? He was too far away and the view was obstructed for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As he landed he grabbed hold of the ball making out he had been fouled. Stupid free kick to have given away, more so as it led to their goal. A gift for them.

Tully Bascomb Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 You could see from his performance last night, why he hasn't started so far this season. a yard off the pace and not the usual Smith we all know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 It's difficult, you can make justifications for all three of Smith, Pack and Brownhill starting, need to weigh up each's qualities and how they work with each other for your best pairing. Whether this means leaving out a better individual whoever it may be could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't defend a simple cross the opposition only need one cross like last night. We need Bailey Wright fit.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was more the location and total uneccessary aspect of the foul that was annoying in this case. Goals are rarely "just2 the fault of defenders/keepers. The person who gave the ball away further up the pitch has also to accept responsibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
