Dean Smith - Confirmed

[Three Spires Villa]

It was so obvious that the system was not working, any one who witnessed the Wolves defeat knew that it wasn’t working and yet he played the same team with the same tactics. It does  not take a genius to work out the stupidity of going again.
Thanks for everything he has done but it’s over.

This I think is correct, but not sure he will go before the season has finished?

I can see him gone before the month has finished at this rate. The owners will be hugely unimpressed by this shit show after last weeks and the week before.

Time to go. To constantly keep trying to shoehorn a man ure player to play this turgid 3 at the back is unforgivable. We look shitter by the game.

I will be amazed if Dean is sacked in October

I hope he’s not and gets that result but the ice is cracking.

To be honest I think he’s time is coming to an end, I think he’s done all he can. He’s been good and lucky in equal measure. I think he will go next year or the end of this season.

He's not exactly doing himself any favours at the moment.

To getting the sack? By when?

12/1

Good bet really. We'll struggle to even get point v West Ham given the job they did on Everton last week and Southampton away feels the sort of match where a poor performance and defeat could really force the board to do something especially with two week break and then Palace and Brighton after.

[Drummond]

He's lost the plot. 60 million spent on wide players. Two already at the club who scored 17 last season...and he keeps playing the 3-5-2,

To be fair, Traore and Bailey have been out injured. Buendia hasn't been available a lot either.

That's all I'm saying on that.

Tonight was garbage.

Next Prem manager.

Where has he pulled this 3 at the back, fullbacks as your only width and 2 centre mids shite from? His arse? Really. really poor decisions from Smith. The set piece defending is back to being a monstrosity again aswell. So much for the set piece coach.

[oldhill_avfc]

Let’s hope that after tonight

1. He knows when and when not to play 3-5-2
2.  He knows that Buendia is very limited
3. He has t play Watkins in the middle with Ings on the bench

He did it against Manure which worked because they struggle to break teams down. That’s fine - it’s keeping that formation since that’s utterly baffling and completely wrong. It fundamentally doesn’t work for our squad. You’d hope the manager would fucking know that.
