I’ve been all for Smith and I really wanted it to work and had hopes even after the poor form around Christmas he could turn it around. I just worry with what happened last season and the terrible runs of form we’ve had this year are too much to turn around. We really can’t afford any more slumps can we. If we go down if hope we come straight back up and I wouldn’t be that confident anymore in Smith.

This run we’re on is really poor. The performances are not good by the players and the selections, formations are very haphazard. The only consistent thing with Smith is he’ll make a change if we ship a goal in.

He has to go, along with whoever signed off the obscene Wesley deal when we had existing forwards from the Academy route.

I'd have Sherwood back rather than continue with Smith.

I think people write Wesley off far too soon. But either way who in the academy squad did he block who was ready to start regularly?

Gregg Evans is saying his job is safe for now.

I firmly believe it was the fans that got Steve Bruce moved on. (Cabbage and all)

Unfortunately, without a  collective critics approval / rejection, I am genuinely concerned the board will be too timid to act in a positive way and sack Smith.

If you take 32 games as a sample,. Change nothing and expect different results from the next 6...... I pity your thought process.

Can we abandon the idea that it's too late and that we're down? We're in the bottom three on goal difference.

Liverpool have just won the league so we don't know how how that will go, and Man Utd are made of jizz and fag ash so the same.

I think we do know how the game at Liverpool will go, and I can just see us beating Man Utd like we always do.

Doesn't seem like there's many of us, does it? The Championship can fuck right off if it thinks it's getting me back before the maths says so.

Boro changed boss - won next game
Luton changed boss - 4 points from 2 games

Make a change now and can get enough of a new boss bounce to save us short term

Who will then have to sack him midseason when we his failing ...they should of sacked Bruce earlier than they did and they almost cost us going up.

As for the going down isn't so bad , 4 of the current bottom 6 in the championship are recent PL clubs.It took us 3 managers, 3 seasons and 2 ownership changes to come back next time and there was a large part of that 3 years where instead of being beaten by Man City etc we were struggling against Wigan .Even if you keep most of the team together its a team who are used to losing and have suffered relegation , we saw last time how long it took to turn that around.
