What I like (on top of 3-0 away wins) is that Dean Smith didn't show any signs of panic after those dodgy couple of results.  He really might be the manager wee been waiting for since MON flounced.

Let’s not get carried away. I’m sure a Steve Bruce team would have won 3-0 with more possession, shots and passes.  Lol.

Fuck MON.

Dean could be the manager we've been waiting for since He Who Walks On Water left.

Martin O'Neill was the start of all of the problems. Don't compare him with Dean Smith just yet.

Let's all calm down a bit. We'd be absolutely destroying them if this thread was on SHA.

Or better still, fucking enjoy playing well for once and not give a fuck what anyone else thinks.

Hi Dean, is there a Mrs Smith? Asking for a 'friend' as I don't love you loads at all. Honest.
Hahaha! I've got to admit there was a point I was concerned for your well being (after the Bristol City and Millwall match lowlights posts) and I was worried you'd be tipped over the edge/forever lost down the rabbit hole, during the gruelling course of the season. Delighted to know that you're now perfectly fine and that you lead the long and healthy DS man crush queue.

I can't recall a single away performance like that 2nd half in years and years. It was a bit special.

We're going up.

After all the shit we've had for so long, who gives a tuppeny fuck what anybody else thinks.  Smith has got a plan and a vision, and we're only going to get better.  That performance and result today will have the rest of the league shitting themselves.

This result will be great for confidence ·······Still early days but he is obviously making a difference already - if the plug had been pulled on Bruce a few games earlier who knows where we would stand currently - onwards and upwards - hopefully with reinforcements in January we can kick on and secure at least a play off spot - exciting times ahead I hope

We've just destroyed one of the promotion favourites away. I'd be surprised if any supporters wouldn't be celebrating.

If you look at his time at Brentford, Smith set his teams out to play the exact same way every week. No matter the opponent.

No team wins every week, and for his time there at this level his success was directly correlated to available resources. If we have a defined, positive approach coupled with significantly superior resources, now and in January we will have every chance of maintaining this level of play. The players are growing in belief. You saw that today. And the result will be such a boost for them. It will validate what the manager and coaches have been preaching. It’s enjoyable to play this way, and even better when we win.

Haha!  I get where you're coming from.  I suppose I meant that we've had a collection of bad / underwhelming / bizarre appointments since MON, who for a while brought the club close to where it should be.  Let's hope Smith actually does that.
