Still has a huge blind spot regarding use of Subs.

Smith for me is our best manager since O'Neill. I think he will actually exceed him if we stay up

It's not just the personnel (akthough Wesley should have gone off last night) but the inability to respond to what's in front of him. Time and time again we've been overrun in midfield, but he sticks stubbornly to 4-3-3 at all costs.

He really doesn’t seem to see how to make changes during a game and adapt to changes made by the opposition during a game. All managers have their limits, I just hope he can learn quick. I don’t think he will though as he has been making poor game management choices since he joined. Shame as I really want him to be the guy.

He is not a bad manager at all - he’s a pretty good manager. But the difference between good managers and those who win silverware is the ability to act quickly during a game.
