| Smyth 20:49 - Jan 1 with 955 views | stainrods_elbow | I'm a confirmed fan of Smythy, but, seriously, what the f*ck was that first-half? He might have been on his 'wrong' side', but I was hardly even aware he was playing till he was subbed off. If that's what signing a new contract does to you, Paul, perhaps we should tear it up now?

| Smyth on 21:11 - Jan 1 with 787 views | Watford_Ranger | Didn’t help a lot that we attacked down the other wing almost every time. Rarely seemed to have the ball. I wish when things aren’t going well we’d just switch the wingers for a bit. Give the full-back a different challenge. All four who played today were dire but none played on ‘their’ side at all. |  | |  |

You'd think that's so basic the coaches would be getting the message to the players after 15 minutes, wouldn't you? Obviously, they're idle too - or just stupid. |  |

I’m sure it used to be a thing that teams did a lot. Rarely if ever now so it’s not just us. Just strikes me as something easy to do mid-game without making a sub. Some clever analyst has probably decided it increases the xG against. |  | |  |

Why didn't he just swap wings with Dembele for a bit? He/we couldn't have done any worse! |  |
