jim Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 He isn’t good enough, plain and simple. Overall poor performance, I’m sure he’ll come out with good sound bites as to what was wrong, but as per we won’t see any improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Got a reaction in the second half. Needed one. Think Bolasie needs to be dropped and driven back to Everton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Said it in the match thread. If bringing in Alan and Albert was his big plan he has already lost the plot. Gutless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) That 2nd half shows DS sides will always be a threat attacking wise. Defensive problems still stands though and until DS will get us organized at the back we're going nowhere under him.

sne Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I like the subs he made today, also like that he didn't wait unnecessarily long to make them. Almost paid off. We still need to do better thou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted January 19, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 19, 2019 Not buying this DS criticism - there is a large gappy gap gap between how he wants to play and what these players are capable of. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddytheVillan Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 We've conceded 45 goals this season. Only teams to concede more? Rotherham with 46, and bottom club Ipswich with 48. It's so bleedingly obvious where our problems lie, it begs the question what is going on in Smith's mind. I know he inherited a joke of a defence from Bruce but seriously - we can't expect to have to score between 3 and 5 goals EVERY game to win a match. It's completely ludicrous. None of our back five is good enough at the moment. Put Steer in goal - he looks solid. Get Chester his surgery (it can't get worse without him), try and bed in Hause and Elphick (with Tuanzebe straight back in if he's ever fit again), and find better full backs from anywhere - even our young players would be a step up.

Davkaus Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 One of the things that make me question wtf we're playing at is why we still have Taylor and Hutton as fullbacks. It should have been clear months ago that those positions were essential for recruitment. Most of the way through January, and we still have those two.

We were absolutely appalling in the first 45, but even in the first 5 minutes of the second half we missed a couple of good chances. We absolutely created enough to win that game.

M_Afro Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Garbage manager, nice bloke! Did we learn nothing from Bruce. Until we appoint a good manager we will continue to tread water. It’s so painful that I am beginning to get to the apathetic stage which is a sad reflection of our once great club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Get rid before its to late. We are never going up any season with this guy in charge. His teams could never defend, something you need to go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
