Dean Coneys boots 1,406 Posted August 6, 2022 We are just starting to see his tactics and there are real signs for optimism. He went months with someone else’s signings - he deserves till Christmas to show what he’s about. Today the result wasn’t there - but glimpses of something clicking could be seen 2 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,711 Posted August 6, 2022 Good performance today, total dominance without that clinical edge. Nunez with some more time with the squad looks like he could offer some. Very similar to our loss under Derby during start of Farkes record title win. 1 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone who didn’t think we should have won today needs their head seeing to. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canarybubbles 1,925 Posted August 6, 2022 It was better, and I acknowledge it wasn't hoofball. But we were at home to Wigan, and we have one point from two games against teams who are likely to finish in the bottom half, so I don' t think we should get carried away. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty sure everyone who played today is a fully paid contracted player. The only loans we have are Hayden and Ramsey neither played. Not sure how you can watch that game and attribute any blame to Dean Smith. First 20 minutes we bossed it, Gibson (selected out of necessity) gifts a goal, heads go down and sucked the air out of us. He made positive changes which worked. The final 20 minutes Wigan barely even got out of their own half. The players he has bought in (assuming he was involved) look like upgrades. What exactly are we blaming Dean Smith for? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Give him time and stop being ridiculous. For me he has the season unless we're in danger of relegation... but let's not pretend it's a good start or his tenure has been anything other than woeful thus far. Patience is needed, but also realism. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Parachute money and a marquee signing for the Championship in Sara and higher wages than most others in this division. It should spell success. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nexus_Canary 1,024 Posted August 6, 2022 In fairness Smith is not a good fit for our club. Clearly his heart and head are still in Birmingham. If the conversations about his future are not taking place at a high level then there are issues. He does not even have any credit with us. He had a job - keep us in the prem. He failed. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However badly Webber screwed up the recruitment last season, we still have a much better squad than most of the other teams in this league, and we can also afford to spend 10m+ on Sara, Núñez and loans. Anywhere outside the play-offs at the end of the season, and he should go. Midtable half-way through the season? Probably. He'll have had more than one season in charge by then. If he can't get this team to click, let's give someone else a try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But he wasn't given any. While Webber cops off with a sabbatical. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
