Ffs his record Is atrocious , worst villa reporter I’ve seen in 45 years on the Mail , no wonder he didnt last long . express and stars Matt Cooper Seems to think smith is on his way out Edited June 27, 2020 by Eastie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 He left the birmingham mail because he was headhunted by the athletic. Besides it's not really about Gregg Evans, it's that it's the Athletic reporting it, they wouldn't print that he's going to keep his job if they weren't pretty sure of it, because they know that people are paying to read their news, so won't want to risk their reputation by making things up. Of course we could have a change of mind, but seems for now Smith is safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preece , Evans , Kendrick , ultimately if you want to take 100% trust in a journalist on villa for me it has to be John Percy By a mile . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made In Aston Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Smith promised entertaining, possession-based attacking football... Sadly he hasn't walked the walk. Whether he stays or goes, I want to see us take some risks and really give it a go in the last few games. If we get beat, or even thrashed, then so be it, but let's go down fighting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Smith obviously didn’t learn anything meaningful during the enforced 3month indoor sabbatical as we are so devoid of idea it’s unbelievable. FFS Norwich are a better TEAM than us in reality as at least they play to their strengths they play with effort and determination and have a sense and style of play. Admittedly it’s just not good enough and they are where they deserve to be as are we ... just not good enough. But watching them recently I see as a cohesion and team spirit we lack. Also really is the squad to blame. Is there not 11 players in our squad that can put in at a Least a heartening display and show some **** balls and spirit. And in smith stays a lot of the squad will stay and the EFL will wanna bum **** us over FFP or whatever rules are and we trust Smith to get a tune with another summer of transfer turnover and core group of the squad minus its prized assets with games coming thick and fast.

People say this, but if he'd gone on the offensive against Wolves and/or Chelsea and we'd lost by 3 or 4 because we left ourselves too open, would you be happy? If we take some risks and go for it against Liverpool, it'll be a **** bloodbath. Edited June 27, 2020 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep seeing people saying its fine he will get us promoted nxt season if we go down but there is little evidence teams sticking with the same manager 1) come straight back up 2) that manager makes it through the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I would be happy. I remember the late Graham Taylor saying that there is never anything wrong with losing a game that you are trying to win. What we are seeing now is a team that are just trying to keep the losing score down. That isn't acceptable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what happens when you have players like we have and are one of the poorer teams in league and you play more attacking football. After lockdown he’s been more conservative but we concede less opportunities but now we create less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I do remember is us consistently giving the ball away under pressure, resulting in the opposition getting a chance on goal. We would have been more effective playing on the counter attack this season, but unfortunately our recruitment wasn't focused on having any pace in the side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I swear to God managing Villa is life draining for coaches. They never seem the same after leaving. Mentally kills them. Bruce being the exception Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
