VillaAlex Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Completely trust everything he is doing. What we have produced so far this season has been excellent, and with a bit more luck we'd have a few more points on the board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Farlz Posted December 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2020 8th in the league. A couple points off top 4/europe. 2 games in hand. The man is doing an almighty job, absolutely outstanding. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted December 12, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 12, 2020 I assume as we are now 4 points ahead of Leeds with 2 games in hand, Smith gets a late call up to the FIFA best manager award competition? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-R Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I think it goes to say that Smith does have what it takes to bang with the rest of the coaches and managers in this league if hes given the right players. At every penalty early on in the game you could see the frustration Smith's face and I felt for him because we deserved one of them, so I think once one came I felt a relief for Smith because it was deserved. Credit to Wolves they were tough at the back and extremely hard to break down, the lads hung in there and it paid off in the end. Smith just needs more players, how many in january we will see is anyone's guess, hopefully more than less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 These smash and grab late winners more than make up for the shocking Brighton and West Ham results. A real roller coaster of a season so far, impossible to predict what result we'll get! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I don't think we're an awful long way from being a stable top half team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enda Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Very happy with the 3 points, but I still think Dean is too slow to make subs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Cant really complain today, If I were inclined to have any thoughts it would have been hoping he took Luiz off before the booking, but we hadn't scored yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The squad respects the managers decisions. Grealish must have been gagging for that pen after last few weeks of giving them away. Anwar is very much a reserve now but he's #1 so he takes it. This bit in bold is so true. I would put that performance today as in our poorest 3 performances this season. And yet we've walked away with 3 points. It's amazing when you have a bit of luck, screamers don't fly in the top corner and the opposition actually miss one of their chances we get a result. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Apart from the Leeds match we've played really well in most of our games and against the Dogheads we were back-to-basics. I applaud Dean Smith for this, if we'd approached the Leeds game in the same fashion we'd have probably won that one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll find it was Leeds' masterful 1-0 loss to Wolves a few months ago that showed us the way. Our victory today has probably clinched the award for Bielsa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He changed his tactics based on the personnel available and the opposition to halt a string of unlucky results and get our season right back on track. Are we supposed to be smashing every team by 3+ to nil every match in your mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
