Nexus_Canary 1,013 Posted August 13, 2022 We face Huddersfield and Millwall at home next week. For me it's 6 points or Smith gets fired. Anything less is not good enough. I hope and expect the board to be thinking similarĀ 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony DaWonderful 35 Posted August 13, 2022 I dont mind starting the season slowly at all, the usual good omens of seasons past with building momentum. So it bodes well to me to have a slow start, however if Dean 'Gaffney' Smith (same levels of talent) doesnt sort it out the shots to goals/winning problem quickly then we have to get rid and get some fresh managerial talent in. The squad is a top 6 one on paper hands down, I just don't see a direction or style of play under Gaffney and hence a waste of potential of the team. For me he gets 2 more games and it's a 4 point minimum or 'Dean and Well ard' get the hook! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alex_ncfc 643 Posted August 13, 2022 It is really bad for confidence.Ā Farke had some dodgy starts in the Championship, but we were never bottom. I think the most telling thing from today was when Mark Rivers said on Canary Call that Dean Smith is "boring", and he switches off when Smith is talking. When asked if the players would do the same, he said "of course they would".Ā Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He also said he hates teams who pass out from the back and much prefers a direct 4-4-2. All whilst simultaneously harking back to the Farke days without the faintest sense of irony. So I'm not sure he's the best to rely on, as good a player he once was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We're playing well ... letĀ things blend and we'll be more than fine. I think it's more the fact the obvious issues from last season under Smith are still present. Giving away cheap goals from simple errors, poor finishing at the other end and no passion or obvious style of tactical play. Can't score, can't defend. You can "play" as well as you like but it's a results game and currently Smith is losing.Ā Edited August 14, 2022 by AJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
