Looking at the 21 man squad release if I was Balmforth I would be asking for a move out the club. Despite the poop shows they have dished up and the issues with Houghton and his hamstring if Smith still won't even put him in the 21 man then can't see him getting a fair crack at first team. Smiths obsession with having Houghton in the side at all costs is just lunacy as its not like he will make the difference in winning or losing so why not rest him and give his hamstring some recovery time.
Smiths interviews are sounding more and more like the inane ramblings of a man that has lost the plot.
I just can not see anything other than an absolute hammering and not only that but another embarrassing performance to add to the list. If we keep the score to under 30 in the first 40mins I'll be gobsmacked.
We've had some turd times and really turd teams over the years but there really is literally very little if anything at all to be positive about, I didn't think we'd get much lower or worse after Hodgson left but my word Smith as an experienced Coach has actually done that.
