After Watford away, that was the moment. Plenty of us said it on here so no revisionism. Whole Jan window and the Winter break for search and getting to work. We’ll look back and say we blew it then.
No way were we going to pot a manager who'd got us to the semi final (and eventually the final) of a major cup competition just a few short months after securing promotion. We can say the signs were there, but to act that early would have been viewed as brutal.
If this.If that.The only if I'm certain of is if we'd sacked Smith before Christmas we wouldn't be in this position.
Hard to see how anybody else would have been worse. Dismal Dean has been absolutely atrocious. Worse than Lambert.

Effectively 5 points from safety and cannot score goals. Not quite, but I think we are on the brink. The Palace game is the glimmer of hope at the moment.
