My take

Smyth is a big loss as he was a great player in League Two and I think would've been a better one in League One with us. Playing in a style that suited him and a manager who knew how to work him.

He moved on citing that he wanted International recognition. And he has achieved that by starting, scoring, being a sub for NI in their last few games.

I for one am happy for Smyth. Good luck to the lad. I think QPR is the wrong club for anyone at the moment but that's irrelevant. He's gone and made his choice.

Graham and Archibald can glide past their men quite easily. Not sure what games others have been watching lately but I thought that was quite clear to see.

When played on their proper wings they beat their men and put crosses in, when played on their inverted wings they naturally won't go round the outside, but come inside and play through the middle. I'm not a tactical genius but this is quite obvious.

Against Barnsley it seemed to me that the instruction was to receive the ball out wide, get it out of your feet, and out the cross in at the earliest possible time. As a winger this can make you look a right dick if nobody is in the box, but that was the instruction and if no striker is in the box that's not a failing of the wide player.

There was one instance of Graham putting in an extra cross for seemingly no reason when he was practically on the edge of the 6 yard box with just the keeper to beat. That's a judgement error on his part. But both Graham and Archibald look the part toe and hopefully Agyei can come in too to bolster the wide positions.

You are spot on about Paul Smyth mungo as well as your observations re “ inverted” wingers ( which in my view is a tactic which is rather overused). I do though disagree to some extent with your comment on players following “ instructions” . Players have to be given some leeway to make decisions based upon what’s in front of them - to say it’s “ not a failing of the wide player “ to cross a ball knowing full well that “ no striker is in the box” surely is to some degree a failing ? I’d certainly hope RW maintains the current plan of action which does appear to involve a greater emphasis on crossing the ball early but players have to be aware enough to adjust based upon the situation. 
Like yourself I think the example you quote about Graham’s cross from close in on Saturday was simply a bad decision on his part.👍

Smyth was incredible at this level. Unplayable at times. Scored the unscorable. The best individually skilled player since Cox. Worth the gate money alone. As another said, saying a player is poor by comparison, especially when they do a different job altogether, is bonkers level boarding.

I wasnt comparing you were, you tiresome old troll.

Graham has played more games in the championship than Smyth has, not knocking a smyth as he was absolute quality, but the facts are the facts, Graham has more games played than smyth has at that level.

I back Richie any day of the week.

Yeah. Apologies. I just still had your comments about Graham on the back of my head.

I thought Steve Evan's was trying to sow doubt in our minds by pointing out how good a player he was as apposed to what we saw from Graham. mind games?

I also think Graham is a great player but not sure why people think he was a MoM contender on Saturday. Thought it was probably the worst he's played for us. His crosses was uncharacteristically poor regardless of whether or not other players should've been better placed to take advantage. The one he played from 9 yards out when he had a shot on felt like a parody of our tendency to play one pass too many.
