Three more years of it as well

It's been over a month. The team know he's shite and they're absolutely right. £22m. **** hell. He's going to be here until he leaves on a free after 3 more years of wank. Devastating.

This isn't happening. If it does, **** knows who's running the asylum.

It's going to cost him his job and it makes me sad. It makes me sad that he's robbing fans of the joy of winning a match. We're playing someone who would struggle to make an impact in league 2 every single game. It's absolutely crazy.

More links to Vida. Must be total balls. Centre back just about the only position we don't need.

How were you so much behind Bruce to the very very end? Issues were there with him throughout (especially in the wins!) and he was immune from criticism for some. You should call out anything you think isn't good if you feel you can. Performances in the last 4 games have been criminal under Smith. Absolutely criminal. Ability and confidence in incredibly short supply right now in the squad.

Look at the posts around the Norwich match away. It's people declaring he's been great all season and they were right, utter madness. He's touch and go with Hogan right now, there's barely any difference. The thing they do most is hinder any play they get involved in. I wonder who would score more for us when we go down?

They can hardly put less effort in? Don't mind it at all. He's spent his whole time here generally praising, with a few comments on general team perform not being good enough. Though he hasn't helped himself recently, these crap players are not even working hard for him.

Despite everything, we're still well in touch, not even close to being cut adrift. I have more faith in Smith than the players. However we're going to be stuck with these crap players for the next 2/3/4 years FFS. Smith having a go at then in public is just trying to raise something I think. Some effort.

God yes! Miles worse most of them. You think Wes would score 25 goals in any league like Sharp did last season? And he's a bench warmer for Blades. You think Hourihane can pass the ball like Norwood? Elmo or Targett have the energy of Stevens and Baldock? We've got players that have appeared in probably 15+ matches absolutely not good enough. The summer was the chance to recruit well. Not only could we have bought better, we could have bought better for two thirds of what we spent. Smith hasn't helped himself by only ever having one system to play with. This 4231 clearly isn't something they've been prepared for. It's been forced onto us because teams were flying through the middle of the pitch at us every match.

Ryan Kent and Joe Aribo both linked in the summer playing for rangers today. £7m and free. All this, you don't get much for £10m or £22m I keep reading when Trez and Wes fall over the ball. You do if you don't buy wank players.

I just don't understand why we're worse than pre-season. We're worse than 4 weeks ago. Doesn't make sense. He's done it to himself if he gets the push by picking the same players who aren't good enough. Not setting the team up to have another formation. This is the fear should he stay on. Suso has to go definitely, delivered mostly crap. Unsure who could get us competing to a high level with these signings.

Eyes peeled on that sign on the end of the north stand.

How can I know he was a ridiculous selection playing directly up against one of their fastest players but Dean Smith doesn't? Disappointing.

That header was harder to miss once he got there. Bounce it off your face it'll go in nine times out of ten. Taking fee into account, the worst Villa signing ever. Worst striker in the league. Can't think of many worse players to be honest. Confidence has now drained from the whole side due to us getting hardly any points from some fairly decent performances. If we'd signed any old average **** we'd have more points and he'd have about 8 or 9 goals by now. Jay Rodriguez, Ashley Barnes, Neal Maupay, Danny Ings, Andy Carroll, Karlan Grant, any of them. Anyone who knows how to play football. Dean Smith is probably going to lose his job soon. Jack Grealish is definitely going to leave soon. Wes will still be here, occupying defenders and being in the wrong place for 89 minutes of every single match. I can only hope the new coach comes in, wonders what the hell he's doing in the first team and sends him off to the under 18s to learn how to control and kick a football.

God damn quotes messed up. Horrible reading those articles. Missed them first time round. How upsetting that he's got a history. We're still in the past.

He spent his whole time on the pitch trying to hide and not be on the ball. There was a funny moment first half when he got stuck on it and it was an exciting moment for me as he was going make a pass forward. Straight into two Watford players, right at them. Either could have got it. It was so bad I laughed like a nutcase. What the hell he was doing starting this after watching Watford's last two I do not know. Why do I know he's going to hide and get steamrollered but the manager doesn't?

He's got his two disciples who I don't believe have ever had a scouting job before. How can we keep getting it so wrong.

Why is our best player by a trillion miles being moved around to accommodate shite? We're going to lose Grealish if we go down are probably not getting a player this good for another 10-15 years.

It does make sense he should be able to take us up, I agree. However... No Jack Grealish. 433 every game. What happens when we've won 1 of 5 at the start of next season? I'll tell you, it'll be 433 again the next game and the same tactics and players. This thought concerns me. Imagine Wes standing around at Peterborough away as we go down 3-0 with Hourihane waving his arms at the ref for their third. Grim.

It's nice liking the manager, I'm with you. Quite why we're so much worse than the start of the season doesn't really make sense. Points are pretty tight to be honest. Not like we're cut adrift. We won't need many points to stay up this year, the bottom 12 or 13 could probably go down this season. If he was to go it's his own fault. He's flat out refusing to try anything different. Players are too scared to play his football. The players he's been given are not good enough. Disastrous recruitment. We've signed a potent mix of talented cowards and players who aren't good enough for the top end of the Championship.

Can you go as well please?

Fixed.

It's so weird. He's the opposite of the technical player Smith needs to do the pass pass pass he wants. Maybe one day we'll get the full story of how the hell he's ended up here for the money we paid.

This is all correct sadly. Why do we look so much worse than August? Almost all the "new" signings have been a waste of money, but we should be getting better. We're getting worse. I thought he was better than only knowing how to play 433 I must say. Very disappointing. Do I want to see us under Smith without Jack Grealish in the championship? I'm not sure...when he was injured we were abysmal and Deano did exactly what he's doing now. Played the same shape every game, if we tried anything different he reverted quickly because he's not interested in any other formation. Picking Wesley all season is moronic. Team selection and subs in general are an issue. We should still go on to win this. Watford have been terrible.
