Very much so. Dean’s inability to change stuff will kill us.

Does anyone have a copy of the Villa badge torn asunder? Asking for a friend in Midlands journalism.

There was a Brentford fan who posted (i think it was on h&v) He wished Dean all the best and thanked him for everything he did at their club. However the one thing he did say that is now becoming painfully obvious is exacty that. He either can't or won't change things during a match and seems to get out thought by the opposition. He has got to change this. He's got to learn to have a plan B up his sleeve otherwise i'm afraid he'll be toast before this season ends.

It’s becoming obvious that we have bought players who show promise and can at times look like they belong at this level, but we don’t have enough of them and end up playing with too many players out of form, this then morphs into confidence plummeting and we play painfully slow, ponderous, safe football. The higher quality, better conditioned opposition get into their defensive positions quickly and easily and we look lost going forward. At the back, we need a defensive boot camp, yesterday was amateur hour.

We need new players, I worry that they will have to come in from abroad into a relegation battle and that’s far from ideal.

If we an get some belief back, all is far from lost.

We’ve looked pretty decent at times this season but we are not improving and are actually getting worse which for me is the most worrying thing of all

Which was my worry when his name was first touted to replace Bruce in summer 2018. Whilst he did well at Brentford and they were always top half of the table They never threatened to get in the play-offs or get promoted as I recall. So not really great track record

Leicester Was the game when I started getting worried as it was poor tactically and an abject surrender from the team.There have simply been to many games like yesterday where we just haven’t turned up.

Smith hasn’t been helped by some of the signings we made which I suspect he didn’t 100% approve

If they can’t/don’t want to sack smith, what about Big Sam being brought in as DoF or something, just to get some bloody experience in the club?

I can't get that photo of Grealish flat out on the pitch at the end of the game out of my mind. He so wants to be a success with us and not someone else.

I have to say, worried or not, the spectre of Big Sam being rolled out by some on here worries me more. He will do nothing for us, he is s spent force, if he rolls through the gates I probably would give games a miss for a while. It would make bruceball look like Messi and Bale!

A resounding 'no' to Allardyce. In any shape or form.
