It’s just not happening...Smith should be under big pressure now. But if we were going to replace Smith it would have been when we finished 17th, not 11th or 12th.
-
This is one thing that really bugs me. We always seem happy to accept defeat, we’re far too easy to play against.
-
This is so sloppy again today. You really have to start questioning what we are doing in training all week. We look like a bunch of strangers.

I agree with this. Purely on the basis that some of the football and results were incredible in the first half of the season, I’d give Smith next season with another 2/3 new signings to see what he can do. I think everyone would have been more than satisfied with 10th at the start of the season. Squad depth is a real issue, but we’ll get there. Lange will have had a full 12 months when the summer window opens, and we’ve been safe since around Christmas time. So there are no excuses for a lack of planning time. Let’s see what the summer brings.

Seems like we might be coming to a crossroads as a club. Is a bottom half finish good enough after a) such a good start, b) the amount of money we’ve spent since promotion? We keep hearing about how ambitious the owners are. Will they be happy with this? Ultimately we are still a one man team. Would Smith have even got us promoted without Grealish? I think the answer is no.
-
If this is the best that he can serve up without Grealish, then if the owners have genuine top 6 ambitions then I doubt he’ll be here long term.
-
He offers us nothing at the moment, I’d rather give game time to one of our youngsters.
-
Why he keeps bringing Barkley on I will never know. So poor again all round. We’ve spent the best part of £200m since promotion and we’re still awful without Grealish. We’ve made big strides since last season, but the last month has been nowhere near good enough.
-
This is the first time in 4 years that we already know (in February) which division we’ll be playing in next season. The extra 3 months planning that we’ll get should serve us well in the summer. I expect we’ll be in for another exciting summer now we’ve established ourselves again.
-
If we want to progress we need more than one decent striker. Putting Watkins on the wing is a way of getting them both into the team. I didn’t say I would do it, it is maybe what Smith might do (if we’re even interested in Tammy in the first place).
-
Don't forget that Watkins played on the wing up until 18 months ago. I'm sure we could fit Watkins and Abraham into the team together.
-
I’m quite surprised that we’ve never heard from him. No sit-down interview, nothing (unless I completely missed it). I guess actions speak louder than words.
-
We’re in a great position this window. We don’t actually need anybody in January - so we can’t be held to ransom. If one of the targets becomes available then we do it, if not we wait until the summer.

I think 4-0 flattered Southampton massively at the time. They scored 3 worldies and pretty much scored with every shot they had. We weren’t great, especially 1st half but on chances created we should have taken a point at least.
-
It would be great to find out whether or not the club plan on streaming under 18 and under 23 games any time soon.

Close the thread!

Waiting for John Percy to tweet like...
-
I guess we’ll hear something from the British reporters soon if it’s true.
-
This was tweeted not long ago from someone I follow on Twitter who has been a pretty reliable ITK in the past. They have a private account so I can’t share the tweet. When you plant a seed. Ignore it for months. Come back and it’s a huge tree. Yeah kinda like that.

Time to re-open the Rashica thread? Max Bielefeld (Supposedly a SSN reporter from Germany - with almost 10k followers) has tweeted this: Sky Info: Bremen's Milot Rashica is in advanced negotiations with Aston Villa. There are still a few details to be clarified. It is very likely that the transfer will go through until the deadline tomorrow #TransferUpdate#SkyTransfer@Sky_SvenT

Much better performance and result against Norwich tonight.

As tenuous a link as possible, but both of these accounts made reference to “Kevin” not far apart. Tammy Abraham’s first name is Kevin...
