Gutted, not that I don't think he didn't have his faults, but pre season really screwed Dean over, Jack leaving, COVID issues, friendlies being cancelled, how many players missed out on proper pre season and are only now just starting to look fit. Bailey/Buendia still haven't completed 90 mins.
Midfield also needed a revamp in the summer. That can't just be on Smith.
We would have been desperate to be where we are right now when Bruce was in charge.
Good luck Dean, you lived the dream. thanks for everything!
