Dean Smith - Confirmed

[RamboandBruno]

Also struggling with the SGT Smith comparison.

I wasn’t comparing SGT and Smith, I was comparing the league situations of the 88-89 team and now, having both come up and both fighting relegation the season after coming up. One of the points I was making even the likes of SGT would of got ‘stick’ on a forum like this, that season. But it was only one point in the overall post

Thank you!

All hypothetical nonsense though I admit

I do remember standing on the Holte End during that season and there were murmurings about SGT out.

If it was written by a reporter it would be labelled as lazy journalism.
It was Swindon.

One very important difference between SGT and DS was that SGT won the hearts and minds of the fans with his total honesty.  He told it how he saw it.  No flannel, no bull, no excuses.

Yes I agree. But I wasn’t comparing SGT to Smith.

There's no reason at all that finishing around 12th should have been beyond us.  Everybody from say, Burnley in 11th down is eminently beatable, and it's really just down to shit scouting, and even shitter coaching that we are where we are. 

Burnley's midfield this season has mostly been Ashley Westwood, Jack Cork, Jeff Hendrick and Dwight McNeil.  Pretty bloody ordinary by anybody's standards, but coached into an effective unit by Dyche.

just watching them now. you can just see the aggression, hunger and fight across the whole team. haven't got a clue who most of their players are

[Richard E]

Yet we took 4 points off them but couldn’t beat ten man West Ham and lost home and away to Bournemouth. Villa in a nutshell.

I know that Rambo.  My comments were not intended to suggest otherwise.  Lazy posting on my part for which I apologise.

[Lastfootstamper]

If Dyche was appointed, would Villa Park be full every game?

No worries Brian. Oh for a Graham Taylor now hey

[Legion]

He was one of a kind. A great man.

I have heard of Offa's Dyke.  If he joined us VP would be filled by a ticketing strategy known as Dyche's Offers.

This has a nice Two Ronnies flavour to it.  Bravo.
