Dean Smith - Confirmed

[paul_e]

I don't think McGinn is going anywhere.

If we can hold on to Grealish and get a proper left back I think we'll play a 4231 with Grealish on the left of the 3 and tucked in so he can go inside or out, I suspect we'll pick up someone to do the same on the other side and then have Green to cover them both (and I'd push RHM into a similar role because I think he's very good at going through the channel between the full back and centre back and getting shots away across the keeper).

I think he likes McGinn playing further forward because his work rate putting pressure on the defensive midfielder and centre backs could be really effective.

A league table based on the games we’ve played since he joined has us in 10th. Not at all good enough. Given our upcoming run I don’t think that will improve any time soon.

I agree. Smith, nor the players have been good enough overall.

Some players need to hang their heads in embarrassment for the way they've attempted to play football.

I look forward to seeing the back of pretty much all the starting eleven, with the exception of a few.

Defence has been shocking all year, midfield either lightweight or pedestrian, strikers...well, apart from Abraham nobody else has really contributed.

Player of the season so far-Grealish...and he has been injured for what, two months?

Special mentions for Abraham, McGinn and Tuanzebe.

Happy to see Green back, and think Chester needs a rest before looking better when he plays alongside Mings. Think Kalinic and Nyland will be a decent one and two in the goalkeeping positions.

The rest-crap.

Much to improve and hope Smith sorts the whole damn place out this summer.

Don't think mcginn will go. Grealish may tho like others I'm not sure who the buyer will be

When both fit surely Smith will play the 433 he played at Brentford and which we had our best form all season, with the two of them as number 8s

Dont think grealish will play wide. Current form shows we desperately need his creativity in the middle

The big challenge this summer will be getting a whole new front three. Probably on a relative shoe string

We may actually be better off selling grealish to help fund squad building, even if none of us want that

[Mister E]

The critical positions remain LB and a dynamic holding MF.
The best thing about this summer will be the disposal of several out-of-contract old timers

[Ad@m]

I don't think SJM will go but I can understand why some people think he will.

You can't tell me Ashley Westwood is better than him, for example. 

[mr underhill]

Massive summer ahead  a catharsis if ever there was one.

[Matt Collins]

I think there might be interested parties for mcginn

I just think we'll take a tough position especially if grealish goes

I think the critical position is the attack. Abraham is the only one really doing it and he won't be here. Replacing an entire front three is going to be a tough ask

Lolley Maupay and Bowen would be amazing. But surely only a possibility if grealish goes and even then a stretch

I know we only want loans to buy. But faced with the cold reality of another season of adomah and el ghazi, or a harry Wilson type. Well I can see us going down the latter route

[Risso]

There will be loads of clubs in for Jack and SJM. And with the miniscule fee we paid for the latter, if we get say £50m for them both, that’s practically all profit.

Lolley has just signed a big new contract at Forest.

[mr underhill]

so has Grealish, but it probably won't stop him leaving, it just means someone will pay for Lolly for Lolley

[Clampy]

Grealish may possibly want to move on but McGinn seems the type who'd want to stick around for a bit and try and get us back up.

depends who if anyone comes in for him

If someone decent comes in and offers to quadruple his wages I’m not sure helping us get out of the championship will seem so attractive

After a recent game our mate Franksy said on WM that ‘Mcginn and Grealish will go in the summer if Villa don’t go up, fact’. So I’m totally confident neither will be leaving.

Using what logic?

McGinn joined us over Celtic last summer for money.
