Green provides that X factor and rises for the big games, Smith is good and consistent, the two complement each other. Green will be missed IMO. It showed in the cup game how much we miss him in a tight game.

It will be interesting if we sign a player to replace him or promote from within. A half back role is probably the hardest for a kid to establish himself in, experience there counts more than in any other position. If we do decide to sign someone I hope Williams, Hampshire and Powell are patient enough to wait for their chance.

Williams, Powell and Hampshire are all ready now, all they need is an extended run at 6. So now is the ideal time.
We need to pick one of the three and stick with him. All this swapping half backs is not working. My choice would be Hampshire, as I feel Williams and Powell are better 9's. Smith needs to form a partnership with his 6 and that doesn't happen overnight it takes 6 to 8 weeks to come good.
