HoylandOwl Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Seen some stuff online from Cardiff fans who apparently say he does little outside the box, but does his best work inside the box.

Tylluan Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I know we ended up with Hendricks because the Hayden deal fell through but are we sure it's us that's back in for him?

Tylluan Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Charlton have a right bargain then and he'll walk straight into their team (might put Bakinson out, though) If he'd have come here he might have seen himself behind Vaulks, Momo, and Byers.

Coventry can't have had much self belief here if competition is the reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why else would you leave a team promoted to the Championship for one in League 1. Its certainly not ambition or testing yourself. Though he has looked well below Championship standard. Sadly our signing of him was totally indicative of the short termism approach to recruitment. The money would have been better directed on someone younger and likely to make an impact higher up.

HoylandOwl Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Smith did a job for us last season. He helped us to promotion. Our current style of play, and his, don’t match. I’d let him go, allow him to play somewhere else and continue his career with a big thanks for what you did. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK... And he will probably get the same wages either way. I don't particularly have an issue with Smith, it's more it smacked of the short termism that pervaded the Club. Great, get out of League 1 then scratch out arse and hope for the best in the Championship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
