That, going forward is a big plus.That's a very good point. Like you, I thought the poor, listless performances both before and immediately after the break showed that the players had lost faith in him. But the last three or four games show that even if that was true, he's got them back. Fair play to him.Last 3, the one before that was the worst performance under him by a log way.Yes, the performances were wooden. Or am I barking up the wrong tree?The last 3 games have been akin to must win games and we've played well in them. Maybe Smith's had a change of attitude. Don’t be a plank.

If, and it's a big if, we survive playing as we did last night then it will prove, to me anyway, that the players are behind him which I really thought they weren't. That, going forward is a big plus.
i for one won't pine for Dean if he goes.
Smith’s game-management was superb, particularly his timing and choice of substitutes to maintain Villa’s supreme enterprise levels

If he fails to keep us up I’m happy for him to stay as I think he’s a great candidate for getting us back up. If we stay up I don’t think he’s such a great choice for consolidating a mid table finish next year.
