Dean Smith - Confirmed

[Bobby Boy]

Here we go, blame the officials.

This is really sad actually. When Dean joined us people commented on how he cut out the bullshit and just described what he saw. It was a breath of fresh air at the time to hear honest appraisals of games.

It is clear that he has retreated to his bunker with a siege everything is against us mentally. It won't go well from there.

Have to say he let himself down badly in that interview.   Surly, tetchy and downright rude.

[Roysmert]

All these managers revert to type sooner or later, and they all hang themselves ans depressing as it is, Deano''s done the same. Idiotic that he didn't change it, didn't buy another striker, didn't drop Wes, and didn't buy experience. The poor bloke though, his dream in tatters. Imagine if that were one of us.

[PeterWithesShin]

Disappointing thing for me is he and the team have become the things I didn't expect the to. Subborn, no flexibility, no pace, little pass and move, boring, pretty negative, and we look unfit. If he got binned I was expecting it to be because we were too gung ho and were losing 5-3 a lot more often than winning 5-3. Not because we were slow, shit and boring to watch.

Sums it up well.

Agreed. The seeming lack of fitness is unforgivable.

[CT Villan]

Ready the cabbage, fellas. Be careful when you roll it though. If it goes on the pitch Targett will likely fall over and hurt himself as it glides by.

[Footy-Vill]

I'm for keeping him and fully support him
Even if relegation happens.
I fully see Smith as part of villa and I want him to stay I think he has the passion and footballing philosophy its just the time that's needed.
Come on Deano !

[ChicagoLion]

just think how many games ago when it was obvious that Wes was not working out, Davis was fit thats how long.
Game after game he keeps playing the same way with Wes up front on his own and failing to deliver any of the basic actions of a centre forward.
Its brainless, and even though he has tweaked the system the last few games its still been with Lumbering Wes as our focal point of attack.
And this is why he has to go.

Moaning about 2 games in 48 hours?  Like it is every other Christmas then?  He sounds like someone who knows hes close to getting a tap on the shoulder from Sawiris,  Edens and Purslow.

I really want Dean to succeed here, but hes making it harder and harder to defend him, and coming out with a post match interview like that does him no favours.

[Toronto Villa]

I’m all for a manager defending himself. But pretty much every one of us could see it was a nailed on penalty. Jack didn’t play the ball out when Targett went down so why should Watford. There is no mercy at this level. And give me a fucking break about the third goal. Stop making excuses. Week after week of everyone else’s fault.

It was a penalty and there were a few excuses. Dean feeling strain a bit.
However to be fair to him He mentioned how he read the riot act and was disappointed in his players desire.

I don't ever see him as a bruce speaking nonsense type in interviews but the supporter in him could be a bias to his judgement at times. Mainly Smith is decent in how he conducts and speaks a fair and honest assessment
He's a balanced guy and not a cliche man .
Get that you're annoyed though
Annoying performance!
Onto the next.
Burnley is type of match Villa can go and win

Give Dean a break it's the supporter in him !
He's a proud villa man.
