Did put much of shift in back in early October.

We're better than Norwich.  Score!

[Clampy]

We deserve to go down but the team below us don't?

If you want to believe G.Evans, he says Dean Smith is safe...

All I’m saying is will we put out a performance like Norwich are against Manure in our game against them?

[Toronto Villa]

Depends on what you read. Some other suggestions that he is on the edge of being fired

The same Greg Evans who say's 'Dean Smith has a knack of pulling off results'?

But will they do the same in the next league game? They need do and they haven't so far.

Seems to be on Twitter that he’s on verge of going. But I don’t trust twitter.  Will probably limp on til end of season as I reckon it’s too late now anyway.

It is too late, we should have been brave during the months of the lock down and made a change. It was blind faith to stick with him, we've been getting progressively more shambolic as the season has gone on.

Optics wouldn't have been good - and you have to think how it would look to other prospective managers as well.

Sacking a hometown manager months after got us promoted and whose father died of Covid.

In other circumstances I'd say there's a good chance he'd have walked the plank.

How is it too late? Despite how unbelievably shite we’ve been in 2020, especially last 4 games, the situation is still salvagable

Ideally it wouldn't happen, but I'd be alarmed if that was the thinking at a professional football club which, if swift action was taken, could still save itself from relegation.

Leicester sacked a manager months after winning the league. If you want to be successful then sentiment has to be put aside. He tried, he failed, we were in the bottom 3 and looking abysmal.

Unfortunately Dean should have been released from his duties at around Christmas, the Burnley result on New Years Day saved him, then the League Cup run saved him, then COVID-19 saved him. Just before Christmas was the time, the owners didn’t do it and now we look odds on to be relegated
