Dean Smith - Confirmed

[Chipsticks]

Great management tonight, bringing Kodjia on at HT changed the game, couldn’t imagine a potato headed former manager doing the same.

6 weeks ago decided to book a holiday knowing it meant I will be out of the country for the play off final, starting to think I may have ballsed up!

Understandable!

Towards the end of last year, I booked the day after the play off final off work in blind optimism and people have been taking the piss out of me for months.

The worm has turned...

My holiday plans for May have been on hold for a few weeks because of it...still can't book anything until the EFL announce the playoff semi dates.

Hi Steve.

[Brassneck]

Things are so easy to highlight in hindsight but massive credit must go to Deano last night.

He sacrificed wingers but went 2 up top with only 10 men on the field - It paid dividends because we seemed to be on the front foot for most of the 2nd half.

Had Bruce been at the helm last night, Kodjia would never have got a sniff.  It would have been Jedi for Albert (the obvious one) followed by Lansbury/Whelan for ElGhazi.  We would have then sat deep with 2 banks of 4 with Tammy 30 yards away, being asked to chase down endless hoofs.

Once again, well done Deano.  The players are taking the credit and rightly so but they wouldn't have pulled off that result without Deano's bravery.

If only Dean Smith could have rocked up at VP ,12 no this previous. If only..

Fuck.
He’s only gone and won manager of the month. That’s all we need going into tomorrow’s game!

Hope he beats the myth and is not cursed by this as so many are!

MOTM 18/19 winners, and their subsequent game
August, Bielsa (Leeds), Millwall (a), drew
September, Moore (WBA), Reading (h), won
October, McClaren (QPR), Brentford (h), won
November, Farke (Norwich), Bolton (h), won
December, Adkins (Hull City), Sheffield Wednesday (h), won
January, Mowbray (Blackburn Rovers), Bristol City (h), lost
February, Wilder (Sheffield United), Rotherham (h), won

Doesn't actually look like the curse it gets portrayed as.

Only Championship MOTM? Not World MOTM? Ah well, I suppose global domination takes time, whatever your field. It must've been an easy decision for the panel. Congratulations, brilliantly earned.

We’re trying to arrange to move house. ‘What date can you complete on?’ - errrm hold on......

Based on recent years, the Semi finals will most likely be 10/11 and 13/14 of May.

But look at who that loss was against?!?!

Sir Graham won it three months in a row so you can stop panicking.
