Dean Smith - Confirmed

[ROBBO]

Norwich are all but gone so it's two out of five, I cannot believe that we are that shit and still with a chance to stay up. Cannot for the life of me understand the logic of sticking with Smith, he plays the same record every week expecting to hear a different tune.

[Ad@m]

It's two out of four for me. Brighton have only lost one out of their last seven so they'll make 40 points by the end of the season.

The other four are so bad it's almost painful. Since lockdown those four teams have played 11 matches combined with 0 wins, 3 draws, and 8 defeats. I'm starting to think that if any of us manages to win just one game it'll be enough to stay up!

I see the Telegraph has Smith being backed for last 6 Games- Nursey.

Has to happen today or I suspect it's not happening at all.

Agree about Brighton’s form, but they’ve also got to play Man Utd, Liverpool and Man City, so not convinced their completely out of it

[MillerBall]

If we were able to stay up there needs to be cash splashed on some decent strikers and a serious over haul of the squad, yet again.
Not convinced about Mr Smith at all I am afraid.

[Mister E]

Meanwhile, it is reported that they club has extended the loan deal for Pepe Reina and is  close to agreeing an extension for Danny Drinkwater.
Why?!!

Please remind me what Dean Smith has actually ever done as a manager.

Broken a club record of 10 wins on the trot & before you wheel out the standard of the opposition, note this had not been achieved during our previous stints in the 3rd & 2nd divisions, with supposedly superior managers.

To be honest I couldn’t give a toss about last season at this point as it was this season that mattered. We could have gone unbeaten last year but given we haven’t carried a run of form into this year, it means very little. If he stays, then we need a miracle, if he goes we need a miracle. Looking back at that interview going on about Norwich last season looks very small time now.

[mr underhill]

ui can only assume there is something in the contract he signed in October that eliminates or severely limits the amount of severance he gets if we are relegated, but of course it's a contract he should never have been given. Another clusterfuck of the kind only really experienced at Villa. Such is life.

We don't need a miracle. We need to get one point more than two other clubs.

As I said Dave, a miracle!

[ROBBO]

But how Dave? I amongst many called for two up front but that didn't work, it just seems he has run out of ideas and the only thing i can think of is to play Grealish as a forward and hope to get frees aroud the box.

[john e]

every game we’ve played since the restart we’ve had the opportunity of getting out of the bottom 3 with a win or sometimes even a draw

we have failed on every occasion to get the required result

it’s not looking good
