Congratulations to Paul on his call up to the Northern Ireland squad for their Euro 2020 qualifiers, shame he'll miss our game at Burton as a result though
 
He was available last night but not used. Begs the question, why is he bothering putting in the effort to find new flat and leaving his partner in London just to sit on the bench to watch inferior players lose to dud teams like Blackpool?
 
He's our only forward who seems to ask questions teams can't answer at this level.
Lack of game time a bit odd.

In the 3-4-2-1 system we seem to be playing he could play as one of the two behind the main striker running beyond the striker.

Can't imagine him getting far in his career with an attitude like that (believable or not....)

On the subject of substitutions (or previous lack of..) - Coley has always said he will play his best 11.

What is Smyth doing in training that isn't getting him into that 11?

He is still young - will also be learning massively from just training with the squad and being apart of the matchday squad.

He will have up's and down's in his career and I'm sure in the long run it will make him a better player.

Plus - he's got his international call up whilst with us that even he said was unexpected after not featuring much for QPR.

I'm sure he will be just fine!
 
Smyth is a great prospect for the future. He is fast and clever. He is small and light hence the bigger defenders knock him off the ball relatively easy. He will have to learn a few new tricks quickly. I don't know why he is on the bench. He is the type of player Billy Kee needs to be running off him. Whatever the line up we need to start winning.

Why would he be flat hunting up here? I thought he was highly rated at QPR so will definitely be going back
 
Given Professor Coleman’s predilection for smaller players, Stanley’s players have often been ‘bullied’ if the ref is weak and the opposition see that as a legitimate tactic.
We really miss the likes of Matty Pearson but, if anyone prefers to support a team based on ‘bully boy’ tactics, they’re wasting their time watching Stanley.
 
That's Smyth and also Evtimov unavailable for selection v Burton.
From memory 3 is the point at which a game can be called off but all Internationals have announced their squads so unlikely.
