That's amazing. I have never heard anyone bagging Billy Conway.
As you say, some people just make up their mind and see nothing else.
Saying that, I think the stint on the side may have done Mathers some good. He clearly has holes in his game, but when compared to someone else it suddenly becomes obvious what his good skills are.

| Last year I was 50/50 with Mathers he wasn't consistent enough, this year he has been playing really well.

Indeed, the problem is knowing who has the one eye.
Must say I'm baffled by Smith poor showing as I was hoping he was the obvious answer when Mathers has one of his bad spells - he clearly isn't.
My big problem with Mathers is not how good or bad he is, that's just opinion. However I shouldn't think any sane person thinks he's so good that he can't be challenged - surely no one is that one eyed. Problem is Smith isn't the answer nor I fear is Sykes which in my very humble one eyed opinion  leaves us very vulnerable in what is a key position.

about five seasons ago a was stood by someone in the north stand that constantly whinging throughout the game,
by the end of the first half I turned round and just let rip into him for his negativity about the club and questioned his sanity as we was leading in the game.
for the rest of the game there was peace and quite from him and plenty of thank yous for shutting him up from fans around

| Quote Tricky2309="Tricky2309"To be fair to the OP, he is not someone who bags players on a continual basis and his assessment of Lee Smiths performances as a full back seem pretty much spot on to me. I would also add that I think Lee Smith is a tad greedy and doesn't form as effective a link as Mathers when joining the attack from full back.'"
It seems some are happy with Smiths performance at full back on friday and previous games but don't seem to be able to offer any debate on it.
Maybe that tells its own story.
