jacketspuds Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Merson thinks that the 2nd half performance will keep Smith in the job. I think Watford are the only team that decide a Manager's fate after 45 minutes of football. 18 defeats in a calendar year, which could easily be 20+ looking at our upcoming fixtures, is horrific.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) Dean looks and sounds defeated here, on the post match on Sky. Asked about the note as well. The note was telling them about the press etc. Asked about his future, says he's a fighter, always has been, mentioned injuries etc. Says we will be better after the break. Almost sounds like he has a frog in his throat. Edited November 5, 2021 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're now 6 places and 5 positions off them, with a game in hand. And they've sacked their manager. I think of all the stats to pull out this is the one that holds the least water. If he goes it's not because we're comparing ourselves over a 3 game period with a much better side in current circumstances, even if they are a bit of a basket cas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan501 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Time for Smith to go supposed villa fan wouldn't. Make the stupid errors and team selections he does if he was. What would he think if he was in stands as a fan like us, I'm sure his vision is blinkered from the dugout, he's out of his depth and for me he has to go while he still has some dignity. We're a.laughing stock, said sanson was back yesterday not even made the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 It's not the game to sack Smith on. Freak goal from Southampton and second half was a hell of a lot better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 There won't be any sentimentality, we have analysts analysing the manager, the stats spell the sack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dignity with a capital D, as in the funeral directors? I sadly have to finally agree, I think he needs to go, but bumping him off is a bit too much. We”re not Newcastle.

Cool, we could have turned around our losing streak with a plucky 0-0 to another team at the wrong end of the table. One point closer to safety, eh?

foreveryoung Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Couldn't wait to get off the camera in his pre pre match interview. Didn't really sound that sincere about improving in the next games, like he didn't believe, I think he knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not a Villa manager in the last 20 years I like or respect more than Smith. I think he ought to go, but he's brought back the excitement and love I have for Villa after a decade of dross. The insults have absolutely no place here. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
