These are games that a team like us needs to be winning at home if we are going to

challenge, particularly after the start we've had.

Ok if we had 4 or 5 points on the board you might say that 4 points from these two games would be ok. That is not the case any more.

I have some sympthy for Smith because we've actually not been playing badly and I don't believe we can continue to lose games whilst being so dominant in them but its a results business at the end of the day and he needs to deliver some results or the crowd will turn on him.

    - Sorensen is not a full back and Byram cannot be relied upon. (NCFC) - Jim, Aug 15, 11:12:45
      - 5 players who can play the full back positions, not including Mumba (NCFC) - seminated_woolly, Aug 15, 12:15:52
