I don't particularly like him either but him or Jedinak at the back? Collins every time.  He's a center half and I don't remember him being too slow and I don't remember him being mistake riddled either.

Jed's a better holding midfielder though.

I don’t like Collins and he is nowhere near the quality I want to see in our squad. In an ideal world I’d like to see a good replacement for Terry or one of the kids given a chance.

But I’m generally of a ‘needs must’ type of view and if for the situation right now Smith thinks he can make any sort of positive contribution, whether that be playing or just emergency cover, then I am absolutely fine with that.

Just goes to show what Bruce did to us. Negligence springs to mind.Anyway all water under the bridge now. The futures bright. It's claret and blue.

Exactly where I am Chris.  We of course have no idea what kind of physical state he is in or whether he is even going to get to the point where he will even be able to reach the point where he is in a state to play.

At this time of day, afternoon tea I would guess.

Or sleeping off an afternoon session (probably/allegedly)

Where is the pre match presser from Deano then?

Done on a Friday for weekend games?

Doesn’t look like Smith is following the Bruce routine of Friday morning pressers.

Maybe he’s coaching the team or something?
I wonder if he's decided to cancel it and use the time more effectively?

Opening a new box of fags, whilst finishing his 10th can of Guinness and playing FIFA 2009.

Evil is to him who evil thinks.  He is probably digging some old lady's garden.

Just listened to his first post match interviews. My goodness me, What a contrast to the "Smell the Hot Dogs or Honest Bunch of Lads" we have been accustomed to over the previous depressing years.

Dean Smith actual talked and communicated tactics and covered "Second phase deliveries, overloads, setting traps, fitness levels" all in one minute.  8)
