Olano 110 Posted July 20, 2022 Im not. No problem with Smith. He is a ok manager. Think we will go up this season Im youst amazed over Knutsen . So this was more a difence over his work this season. And its truly great to be a Bodø supporter with Knuten there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Lambert was quite possibly the most drab and boring mumble sausage we've ever had as a manager, but some success on the pitch meant we could overlook that. Dean Smith looked dumbfounded at times last season, like a deer in the headlights. I put that down to him knowing that we weren't very good when he took the job but not quite appreciating how sh*t we were until he had to try and win football games. I could just imagine him walking into Colney, seeing Placheta and thinking "f*ck me, I'm in the Premier League with this donkey", when he says he tried everything to get Cantwell going last season before sending him to Bournemouth I believe him, he'd have been desperate for his bit of quality!

(Northern) Irish Canary 48 Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) I was at the match and must say, Linfield (managed by David Healy) were very fortunate although the goal was excellent. Bodo will win the second leg comfortably. Edited July 20, 2022 by (Northern) Irish Canary 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,356 Posted July 20, 2022 The only thing I've taken away from this is the fact David Healy doesn't look like he's aged a day since he hung up his boots! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nexus_Canary 1,206 Posted July 21, 2022 Farke is a city icon who created a style and a passion. Smith is just a Villa fan with his name sellotaped on the door. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canarybubbles 2,194 Posted July 21, 2022 I'm glad to know I'm not the only person with severe doubts about Smith. It's not that he failed to keep us up - that was virtually impossible. If he had taken us to 30 points or more and overseen a few good performances to give us some sign that he knew what he was doing and we could put some trust in him, I think he should have 'been given more time', as the cliché goes. But for at least 20 of his games in charge we were utterly clueless, a shapeless shambles, with no sign of any intelligent thought behind the way the team was set up. I accept he may have been a bit unlucky in terms of Idah's injury when the one idea he did have - using Idah as a target man - worked for two games, but a) those games were against other poor teams, b) other teams would have soon sussed that tactic out and prepared against it, and c) the tactic was hardly some brilliant, cutting-edge idea: Pulis would have done it on Day One. The Marseille game suggested a little ray of hope in terms of being the best we have played since our last promotion season, but the Cambridge game was back to pointless long diagonal balls to the wingers, at least in the first half. Our squad may be good enough for us to squeeze into the play-offs despite Smith, but I'm not optimistic. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I could see the argument for sacking Farke. But what followed was so disappointing. I felt sure that Webber would have someone on ice - if not Knutsen, then at least someone exciting and progressive. What did we end up with - Lampard or Smith? That's like having to choose between Sunak and Truss. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
