Exactly...and I agree. I’m just putting it out there in black and white so those criticising Smith for not changing the team or formation can see the clusterfuck dilemma that Smith has.
But these performances are new level low bad, and it's not as though it's a couple of games. Yes of course sitting at Chelsea through all 8 goals was awful but they had Hazard, Lampard, etc, whch is incomparable to what Wigan put out six weeks ago against us. This is far, far worse.14 games is a long run for performances of this particular level of to go on for. There have been no glimmers of hope or anything to latch onto. To go into Wigan away using the same formation after the Swansea cup game seemed silly at the time, but to then play the Hull game with the same formation and so on, and so on. People say he needs his own players, but you can't go through a whole season using only one tactic if you want to be successful. Teams will work you out and it's too easy to prepare for. We sign a load of players to play this 4-3-3, one or two get injured, and we're stuffed again next season. It's not stupid to say that because the evidence is there from this season to show he can't handle it. And that has to be considered when it comes to deciding whether he should be given time. So far he's failing massively. The players might well have their faults but they are not THIS bad.And people say no short term fix is good. Well you're a lot better off getting promoted and coming back down because you get the parachute payments again. Get promoted with a short term fix if needs be (just because Bruce didn't work doesn't mean somebody else might not), then look to do the rebuild and change the philosophy of the club, not go for a long term solution with a manager who evidently isn't up to the job and is currently cementing us as a lower end of the championship side. Crystal Palace took 4 weeks to sack De Boer when they realised they'd got it wrong. We have got this one wrong, and there is no point giving the wrong person time. Yes the merry go round of Villa managers needs to stop, but only when we find the right person, and that is looking more certain that that person isn't Dean Smith
Sack Smith, install 3rd manager. Watch him flounder with the diabolical midfield options. Watch him win one in 6, sack him appoint 4th manager, last 5 games. Sack him. Appoint new manager in summer. Pot bare for transfers owing to compensation, poor start, sack him.
