When you start mentioning God Dave unless it refers to a certain paul McGrath then that worries me.

Absolutely spot on.  Given this was the first game of the season, our lot should have been bang up for it. Very, very disappointing, unlike the report.

Changes to the structure of the side should have been made as soon as Targett was made to look pedestrian but, as is Smiths weakness , he waited for half time and we were two down. The second half improved us but it was far too late.
I get very frustrated with his inability to change structures as the game progresses, and to blast the players at half time is fair enough but he should have had them up for it from the start that's part of his job.

Great read Dave.

Indeed Darren. That’s as downbeat as I can remember from Mr. W, but hard to argue with. Hopefully things will click sooner rather than later.
