Smith's header back across that got cleared off the line by a defender was pretty good and he nearly scored at the end and then there was his lay back for Murphy last week. So considering the time he has played pretty damn good.

Totally agree Rich - patience is going to be the key to this season. We have a lot of bad habits to get out of both on and off the pitch. We need to back McDermott and the players and get behind them. As I have said on numerous occasions since we dropped out of the top Division, these players are at the level they are for a reason. All of them have faults - sometimes major ones - whether it be a lack of pace, control , vision or consistency. If you concentrate on what a player cannot do it is easy to pick fault with them and slag them off but if you change your attitude and concentrate on what they do well then your whole outlook changes Of course the jury is still out on Murphy - he has come to a massive club (especailly compared to Crewe) and has stepped up a Division. and has a big price tag (something that has held back some of the best players). He is also getting used to his new team mates and the new way of playing. Lets make up our minds about him at the end of the season. The same with Smith who is very inexperienced (having come to football late) and is stepping up in class - concentrate on his lack of pace and you can label him a donkey (and no doubt some fans will) -look at his ability in the air and the goals which will come from that and he can become a hero. So far Hunt has done nothing of note but Brian Mc likes him and so we need to back him too. We have had a lot of pretty poor players and teams in the last 10 seasons or so and not much to cheer us up off the pitch - being hated by our owner and his cronies, and being treated badly. Lets all now take a chill pill and get behind the lads - yes, they will make mistakes and have poor games, yes, some of them have glaring deficiencies in their game and yes, we will,no doubt, have some poor results BUT for the first time in a long time we seem to be going in the right direction so as long as they give it 100% on the pitch and in training then that should be enough for us to get behind the team and cheer them on.
