Can we please leave out references to ''spineless coach''.

Whatever Bomber decides to do will be based on his view of whats best for the team.nothing else!!

Having said all that,I would go with Ratchford but try to find a spot on the bench for Smith,although that will be difficult.

It would provide Insurance .

What a great problem to have...

I think Smith is steadily growing, but has to earn his spot. Ratchford at the moment is playing excellent and so should keep his place. It's all about consistency, if players perform to their ability they keep the shirt, simple as.

Hopefully we will see the best of both of them on the run-in to seasons end.

At this moment in time id have to say Rachford, his kicking game is superb and physically he is tacking better, BUT we certainly miss Smiths organisational skills at times and that bit of brain.

Got a feeling its going to have to be eater or because Robbie is our "Utility back" substitute and who ever kicks his heals in the reserves wont dislodge him from his role in the team.

Definately Stephan ratchford, No vendetta against Jeremy Smith just that you don't change a winning side,

Many people on here have said in the past put Ratchford in his best position and see what he can do, including myself.
He has a better kicking game than Smith, tackles better and FWIW links up better with Myler.
Then again I am not the coach and I fully expect him to be put back out on the wing in the not to distant future :roll:
