Blimey, the last few weeks have been frustrating but wanting him sacked already is bonkers.
I suspect the Hull game will be a defining moment for Deano.
People are talking about the effect of Grealish missing but we should not lose sight of how much contribution Axel was making by bringing the ball out of defence and putting us on the front foot.
Part of the problem is that we have seen these players performing much, much better than they are. Missing one player should not mean we should expect to be playing at such a different, almost pathetic, level.If it's not the manager's job to reinvigorate the players,and get them focused, positive, confident, and playing in a cohesive manner then what is his job?If Smith can only ever get a better performance than the last two when he's got his first eleven, then he's not the manager we hoped he was.I agree with others. It's way too early to be calling for his head. But it's not too early to have real concerns.
