Matty is a great guy, loves the club.....BUT....we need a better 7 for next season and I would leave Smith out of the 17 for now. Keep Richardson in the halves for the rest of the season, let him play with some freedom in attack instead of him looking over his shoulder to see if Smith is coming on and attack at pace like we used to do at Knowsley Rd (look on YouTube at our pace we used to attack at and the off loads we used to do). As I say, really nice guy but lets aim for higher performances than we are currently getting.

I've got feeling matty is out the 17 this week with richardson in at 7 and fages on bench to replace the axed Amor.

Even that's not how it should be. Richardson and Fages should start (and finish) the game with Lomax on the bench as an interchange 9. He can also cover most of the back positions if anyone gets a knock. Smith can only play 7 and 6 as an emergency.

Holbrook needs to start planning for next season and the only way these 2 lads are going to gel is to play week in week out. He has potentially another 5 games to pair them together. Let them play I say.

I wouldn't fancy a Richardson/Lomax experimental combination, its just crazy to try different combinations at the most important end of the season its dumb. Is the coach under some kind of obligation to play Smith-Wilkin-Lomax at all costs.
