Quote from: RichardBatchelor on November 02, 2021, 09:15:34 AMTotally against firing Smith - it's four bad games. If that becomes ten, I'll listen. There's no reason why it has to.It's not just 4 games. We've played 10 games, and have 10 points. The football is horrendous, and we're conceding just about two goals a game on average. He's averaged just over a point a game in 2021, and now looks like dragging us into a relegation scrap. It's not good enough on multiple levels, and it's time for him to go.

Quote from: RamboandBruno on November 02, 2021, 07:42:47 AMInteresting article and a good reminder of the past. Ive been advocate of Dean on this forum for the last couple of years and he has without doubt been our best coach/manager since the early days of MON. But there does feel an inevitability to Friday now. Its not just the losses but what seems from the outside looking in, a growing disharmony and ill discipline amongst the players as well as confused tactics. I do feel a genuine sadness about all this.I'm feeling exactly the same, it just feels like it's all unravelling and I would be gutted for that to happen to him. There also seems to be a social media blackout at the moment too, the players aren't posting. You'd normally see Mings rallying after a defeat, or McGinn, but nothing.

The severe and speedy decline of BFRs team is still hard to fathom.

If there were signs Dean was turning it around you'd have to say give him more time but sadly the opposite is true. Like you I don't think the owners will be judging him on the last 4 or ten games, they'll be looking at the results and trend this year.
