John Terry was a good player for us for one season and looked after the defence. As far as I know he’s never slagged us off and appears to keep his head down and get on with it. However I did expect a lot more from him when he joined as a coach.

I never imagined when Terry came on board we'd end up with the (2nd)* worst defence in the league. It's shocking stat - 65 goals conceded.

What we don’t know is how that fits in with the manager and a style of play he wants to play. Maybe I’m naive but I’m blaming Smith for all of it more than his assistants

And highest number of goals conceded from set pieces.

I have noticed that during the games JT and DS never speak, which is different from last season, it looks like the little bloke in the baseball cap seems the animated one.
There is obviously politics

Remember when we had centre halves that scored from corners and free kicks into the box? Even MON had us scoring loads and he was a tactical dwarf. I'm just amazed this season we didn't just kick the ball out of play every time we got a corner. It would have saved a lot of time and energy.

Well Smudger was a defender in his day n'all and he's head coach.  So the buck stops there.

Maybe there's been an interview where Smith has said Terry takes sole responsibility (or any responsibility for that matter) for our defensive set up. But I haven't heard it.

Terry linked with the Bournemouth job.

TBH, I suspect it could be a poisoned chalice as anyone going there will lose the better proportion of the current squad in sales and although will be able to spend more then most Championship clubs, will it be enough?

Harry would have apoplexy if Terry got the gig plus Jamie would be in a constant state of wet knickerdom wondering if he was getting it on with Louise.

He’s going to leave eventually. And it might be this summer. But for those criticizing him for our defending pre Covid break, in equal measure he should be commended for the miraculous turn around after it. Or was it always that we played Dean Smith’s system and the whole thing got better? I’d rather go with the latter that the manager realized we just couldn’t be that open anymore, and part hard work, part strategy, part just luck we improved immeasurably in defence in the last 10 games.

I've actually enjoyed his spell with us as a player and coach.

Whatever the causation, there has certainly been a change in our fortunes for the better since he joined us. If he gets offered the manager's job at Bournemouth I really wish him well.

 Didn't like him before he joined us but have a lot of respect for him now. As a player he could easily have been another fading star picking up a last paycheque and not trying. He worked really hard and was very good for us. He has been criticised for our defensive frailty this season but must take credit for the post lockdown improvement. He has always conducted himself well off the pitch for us, and if he gets a chance of a manager job then best of luck to him.

Ha! Beat me to it. The poor sod has been reduced to posting photos of cats all over the internet since Terry arrived. #prayforchris
