Doesn’t sound good for Smith. Absolutely bonkers booking for Hackney.Explains the Hackney booking and gives injury updates. Smith out long-term, Forss has tight thigh.
It was pretty controversial changing jumpers last weekend.Great to have a manager we can be proud of because he conducts himself so well, has never been in any controversy (that I know of) and seems like a thoroughly decent human being, as well as a talented coach.
In one way though it gets the inevitable out of the way, no easy games I know but there are worse games he could have missed than Stoke at home.Hackney yellow is annoying. Don't think yellow cards can be appealed or rescinded either can they? Frustrating to be without so many players already and then a ridiculous booking on top of it.
