    And the fact we don't play with a "10" so you're literally ripping up the entire system for 1 player?

    Never going to happen.

    Despite both the manager and Walker himself saying it’s a number 8 role, some just aren’t having it.

    Reply to Wilsden.

    I mentioned him about 3 times, I wouldn't call that every opportunity. I think I have given Smallwood every opportunity to show us he's the class midfielder we hoped for and so far to me he's average in most games this season. The comparison of a well season pro to a up and coming youngster is just ridiculous. I just think we need better from our midfield in the second half of the season and another class midfielder brought in that area would help with a promotion push.

    I can't see a problem with Young in this current team, if Walker is fit. Walker we'll create just as much space as Kemp and I feel he is more consistent over the 90 minutes, whilst not been as explosive.

    Odour or Pointon are able deputies. Of course if he plays Osadebe, then nobody's getting many chance. LOL!!

    Looking through that accounts past tweets..... I'm up the the end of the 21/22 season and I haven't found a transfer that's actually happened yet.

    Smallwood more or less ran the midfield against Stockport. Got praised by the rival manager when we won at Doncaster.

    Yet he has one bad game and once again the old moans come back.

    Fact is, when Smallwood has been out of the team our points per match tally has barely been above one.

    But please tell us where is this "class midfielder" that we can easily get. I've an idea, why don't we go for a player who made 42 appearances as Captain for a decent Championship club? Anyway, see what you can come up with.

    Correct. Darren Fergusson at Peterborough is expecting to lose two of his first team players, this window. And is very matter of fact about it.

    Someone even suggested that Walker was "leading us up the garden path a bit" as to his description of the role? I don't even know where to begin replying to that mindset.

    Banro no one had a gapped one against Crewe including the Crewe team ref and the pie man...the point I think is that 8 corners and numerous free kicks and we didn't really. trouble them at all. Their goal goalie was poor and really spooked... My opinion is jobs for the right skill set so remove Smallwood from that dead ball role.... Oh also can we have Trent from LIIVERPOOL ....NOW HE IS GOOD/../....

    Smallwood absolutely flattered to deceive under Hughes but I think recently, since Alexander changed the style he's been by and large, excellent.

    His set pieces are still disappointing though and perhaps this is where a lot of the criticism stems from.

    Just watch the cheesy video posted by Swindon today. The relationship is plain to see.

    It’s meant to be a goodbye video where he says “ I’m buzzin to be here” . 12 year old media specialist no doubt.

    Pointon is not a deputy for Walker . Crikey, will this nonsense ever cease.

    Spot on, the floating punts are useless and easily overhit and it’s easy for defenders to judge , a whipped bending, inswinging cross is a mare comparably.

    "able deputy" means one that can just about do a job, but not necessarily all the time.

    And do any of us know Pointon's best postion?
