    I'll have to agree to disagree ... with the injuries we suffered and players we recruited (and didn't!) in the windows it would've been a miracle to have survived last season.

    I think lambasting Smith for his tenure across both seasons is nuts to be honest. He's gone from inheriting a poisoned chalice in the Prem (where he needed to make us harder to humiliate) to bedding in some new vital players (in a division where virtually all opponents will put up a stubborn low block and defend for their lives).

    It's too easy to think that smacking the reset button will cure all evils.

    You have to give Dean time to mould and evolve THIS squad for THIS campaign.

    Eh? Cardiff and Hull didn't take a draw bud.

    And we've had a lot more than 3 games to assess Smith, was last season so bad you've expunged it from your memory? I wish I could.

    They would've been delighted with a draw - hence the way they set up and approached the game. Both were lucky to come away with three points!

    Additionally - I don't think any manager on earth could've got more out of the players we had than Smith did last season ... we were easy prey regardless of who sat in the dug out.

    Entitlement?! In terms of the Championship, we're an elite team at this level, a Man City or Liverpool 

    We've forked out close to an 8 figure sum on someone we didn't even select yesterday and bought in a Chilean international. We've one of the best strikers in the league's history, two more attacking players that we didn't get a lot of change out of £10 mil, 50% of a back four that we feared would be nicked by EPL teams (Hanley and Aarons) and a Dutch international keeper.

    It's not entitlement to be frustrated at losing 2-0 at half time to Hull.

    Imagine if Man City were bottom after 3 league games. After all, they're bookies favourites to win the league like us.

    It's a pathetic start by an abject manager in charge of a squad who should be getting 90+ points.

    There is no elite in the Championship.

    It's a physical and relentless scrap with ZERO respect for price tags and past glories.

    The number of times I've seen so called elite squads humbled in this division over the years is high and there's a reason for that.

    This is not a computer game. This is a battle, a slog a scrap - and we'll be fine once we get a little luck and things start clicking. We very very easily could be sitting on nine points right now but the cookie didn't crumble that way.
