Daggers Posted 10 April 2023 Share Posted 10 April 2023 I think if I was asked what my preferred STD would be, I'd have to say crabs. Thinking about it this way, I understand why we are saying Dean Smith is the preferred manager. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, an overly cautious approach, the reintroduction of an abysmal Vardy, resurrection of Soumare, the dilly dallying over subs. And an almost total lack of.motivation.

And they were awful outside of give grealish the ball and let him bait a free kick they were disgustingly bad. Even then, their survival was based on goal line tech not working.

In all seriousness though. More people are on board with Dean Smith than rafa and marsch and both have managed at a much higher level. Villa we're very underwhelming even their fans would say so. Norwich he was also terrible and his style of play was heavily criticised. Edited 10 April 2023 by ARTY_FOX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whetstonefox Posted 10 April 2023 Share Posted 10 April 2023 Sounds like that’s it nearly done , now we need to focus on at least putting a spirited display on Saturday and get the real focus for the games thereafter. Still think to little to late but it’s the hope that kills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudio Fannieri Posted 10 April 2023 Share Posted 10 April 2023 2 hours ago, JimmyC74 said: We need the likes of Rafa to get control over the football side / you don’t want to leave Rudders in any control What like we allowed Rodgers to do and look how that has turned out. We need a manager who is prepared to work within a defined model which has worked so well previously for us and is also working well for clubs like Brighton and Brentford. If Benitez is making unacceptable demands both from a financial and power perspective then I would much prefer we hold our nerve and then make a longer term appointment in the summer reflective of the division we find ourselves in.
