StefanAVFC Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 100% on him. His ingame management is something else. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to question him after that, the goals papered over the fact we were getting outnumbered in the middle of the field and he takes midfielder like for like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyp Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 People lose their jobs for shit shows like that. Horrendous. No excuses now, has an expensively assembled squad. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7392craig Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 He hasn’t got Jack to paper over the cracks. His game management is awful at times. We got worse with every sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattVillaPortsmouth Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 That’s completely on smith, terrible terrible reading of the game, bar young for cash (which looked like injury) the other subs were wrong, but not just that, he doesn’t react to what’s going on in game, we never change from what we set out as even when other teams do. Think most who watched it could see it coming a mile off 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I think Smith is great, but I do wonder how much further he can take us. We are just so inconsistent and I'm not sure he knows his best side or tactic either.I Games like today are a real concern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I'm definitely not in the Smith out camp yet but I think two things can be true at the same time: he's done a phenomenal job to get us where we are now but that he also may not be the man to take us any further. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Been chatting with Southgate about tactics I think. Needs to sort this 2 up top nonsense, it's a mess! Everyone seems to be going for goal, when the tactics should be get it to the strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think most who watched it could see it coming a mile off Not sure how Nakamba for Luiz was wrong, Doug was never lasing 90 minutes today and Nakamba as 20 minute sub to protect a lead has worked in a few other games. Probably Buendia should've stayed on, easily his best game for us and a ball carrier to get us up the pitch. Hause should've come on instead of Young and well the terrible defending kind of suggests that so he had that defensive sub option available and chose not to do it.

Popular Post DCJonah Posted October 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2021 People seriously talking about sacking him again. It's like they wait for a bad result to let it all out. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digavilla Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 It’s close to 10 games now and don’t think he’s figure out how to blend in Ings /Watkins .. that’s surely the most important issue as they are our main goal threats.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will87 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 That team that finished the game, talk about negative. When Bailey's back he's going to have to ditch this 3-5-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly how I feel. I love the guy but I can’t see any progress on last season and this wasn’t a cheaply assembled team. This game has totally reversed my feelings on Smith. Pretty fickle but today was as bad as I’ve seen since the dark era. Edited October 16, 2021 by Spoony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Ok Ings scored a good goal but I fear hes adapted his tactics to accomodate both him and Watkins. He needs to go back to what he knows best a 4-3-3 and leave out one of Watkins or Ings. The three at the back isnt working. We're still conceding goals and Cash and Targett really dont have the requesite skills at the top end of the pitch like Bailey or Traore. Throwing a two goal lead away was on him because he tried to defend a lead by taking off two the better players today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
