Bradshaw is becomming more and more isolated. We scored four on two occassions in August and got at least a brace in all of the other games bar Oldham. We're averaging less than a goal a game subsequently.
"Typically pragmatic Smith style" really?not the games I've seen this season.
August, start of the season, everyone sees us as relegation fodder so it was easy to play our football.
Move on a couple of weeks and we are seen as one of the top teams, and teams change their tactics against us. It's nothing to do with any change of attitude in match tactics.
The question now is can Smith cope with this aspect of management?
Who knows, but we are still in the promotion places, and in prime position for a play off place. Would we accepted that at the start of the season? I think so.
So please, people stop being so negative and move onto the next game.
Barnsley away, 3 points? Nailed on :wink:
