Smith: "We're disappointed. It looked as if it was going to be a 0-0 game. I felt we matched a top 6 team today."

Playing for a 0-0 when we need all three. Dean, you are one of us mate but you are done here. Disappointed is when you spill your pint. Fucking devastated is when you drop another 3 points.

We have had our fair share of shit charlatan managers for years.  But at least most of them had some kind of a system or could at least motivate.  Smith has nothing, nada, ziltch, sweet FA.   We have also been cursed with dreadfully negligent owners.

Very unfair to call him a charlatan, as that would suggest that he couldn’t care less and is milking the club.  Just think it looks like he has gone as far as he can and doesn’t really know how to turn things around.

Christ almighty.

Jesus Christ.  No wonder there's no energy when he comes out with stuff like that.  They were in the Championship the same as us a couple of years ago, but have a good manager and bought some good players, while we got a non-entity and a load of dreadful players.

I don't think there is any point in making a change now.

Not sure there would be any point firing them right now but whatever happens, they've all got to go in the summer. All of them.

It's not working and even if a miracle happens and we stay up they certainly can't be given anymore time in charge

He has played for a draw against Chelsea and Wolves and lost , which might have been acceptable if we could of beaten Shef Un and Newcastle but we failed against both of them.He has lost it , this idea he will turn it around is unfounded it rarely happens does it , once the momentum is downwards teams make a change

For me we slide of out league slowly without trying or we sack him and at least try something !!

We didn’t match them. They just did what they needed to. We fucking need to win games. Dean’s attitude is so defeatist. We need a change.

Should have gone in January. Embarrassing that he’s still here. It’ll cost us for years.

Perhaps we could sack him and try to stay in the league.

All that bullshit last year: 'we're Aston Villa, we organise open top bus tours when we win a trophy, not when we gain promotion', 'we won't be there to make up the numbers' etc. etc.

Yet, we accept utter shite and haven't taken action to preserve our premier league status. Fuming.

One soft shot on target in 90 minutes, Dean! For heavens sake man.

Also that suggests he was happy and going for 0-0. Unacceptable.

When the manager is coming out with bollocks like that is it any wonder the players are the same. Fucking pathetic

He should have been shown the door after the 3-0 at Watford in December.
