Probably not. got us to a play off final where we were beaten narrowly based on score, but comprehensively based on performance. i still believe given the players he had at his disposal we should have stroller to promotion, probably finishing second to wolves who really were a class above. Smith has clearly shown how to make the best use of the players available, and those that were written off under Bruce, look the decent players the probably always were, and those that were decent look like the quality players they probably always were. Players are looking fitter, sharper, and more confident - and I can’t help but wonder why that should be the case unless they were being mismanaged? I get a strong feeling that he is too quick to write off players and as a result cause problems in the dressing room. Clearly he’s not an awful manager, as Wednesday’s recent up turn in form suggests, but there’s a reason why he doesn’t last very long at any club, and I will not be surprised when the wheels come off there too, and he’s appointed at another club that are looking to get into the play offs. His philosophy reeks of short-termism, and that isn’t a healthy way to go about things. I think he puts his own stubborn-ness above what’s good for the club, and hence the mess that was left in defence. Was he the worst manager we’ve had in recent times? Not by a long shot. Did we make any progress under his guidance? Not at all Do I wish him well for the future? Yeah, I actually do. Do you know what? I think this is absolutely spot on.

Zatman Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Played a big role in that goal today, I think if that was vs somebody else then Leeds would play on but him and Jedi storming over to the bench probably scared shit out of Bielsa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djdabush Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Loved the bit last night when Smith was having a moan at the fourth official and you can clearly see the fourth official is threatening to send Smith to the stands. A little nod and a wink to Terry and he takes up the role. Even gave him stick when he touched him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
