Neil Adams started well with a fortunate set of fixtures but did at least have the good grace to admit he was beat and resign. Smith won’t. We lose a succession of games he’ll urge us to stay calm while we finish mid table and wait for him to lose to Ipswich. And this guy WILL lose to Ipswich, I can see it in his eyes. we’ve had a half-hearted strained start to the season. Adams actually did much better if I recall. I haven’t flip-flopped on anything. I still want Dean Smith out and I want Webber out. I’m hopeful that a director joining with higher standards for this club will recognise Dean Smith isn’t the man to take us to that next level, having failed at Villa and with us at the premier league. everyone’s made fun of Josh sargeant, pretending you haven’t makes your look stupid. He literally missed an open goal and nutmegged himself. What are we supposed to do? Wow too much bu****** on here to go through point by point. But... No not everyone made fun of Sargent. Using Adams time as any kind of example of comparison is hilarious as it just reminds me that many of the posters now continually criticising Smith were the same that proclaimed we would walk the league under Adams when he had that decent start and beat the binners. Just proves said posters aren't always right 😱 Failed at Villa? Haha. Go on any Villa forum and see what the overwhelming consensus is (not just the idiots on there of which, like on here, there are numerous.) It's most definitely not that he failed. Also, do any kind of BASIC research to realise he didn't fail, particularly not at championship level. "Smith inherited a squad that had absolutely no right to be in the play-offs with the way they were playing under Bruce, got us promoted, rebuilt the entire squad and kept us up" Yup, massive failure. cue some random insult about me being a yes man and give him more time etc, yawn 🥱 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At all? Ever? you're a liar mate Edited August 20, 2022 by The Real Buh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Climb yourself out of you’re own hole on that one. Pure Speculation: ”We lose a succession of games he’ll urge us to stay calm while we finish mid table and wait for him to lose to Ipswich.” Case and point; You’re working to build yourself a self-fulfilling prophecy. And, when this doesn’t happen, you’ll move on to your next sensationalized point; Webber out, Delia out, Americans are ruining the game, blah, blah, buh. You’re merry-go-round of negative talking points, which are entertaining to a degree, do gradually make you sound like someone who simply likes to complain about things in general. I guess the question is, Buh, what exactly do you want, or are expecting from NCFC? Mid-table premier mediocrity? Champions leagues group qualifiers? F.A. Cup final?Having a shot at winning it all? Listen, Norwich City FC is (at best) a Volvo XC90 - safe & comfortable with a few luxuries. Mid table Premier League is a BMW 750Li - luxurious and a smooth ride which hands the bumps in the road well. Champions League qualification is a Maserati Ghibli - sporty with good control; always in the rear view mirror. Top two Premier League is an Aston Martin Vantage - pure class. Are you beginning to see the bigger picture? Unless an uber-rich, care-free spending owner comes in, then NCFC is what it is. Your run around like the Queen of Hearts yelling ‘off with his head’ and wishing others to stump millions upon millions of their money, to make you happy. But hey, each to their own. And, for someone who views the running of the club with as much disdain as you do, I’m very surprised that you actually attend games and give the club your money. So do you attend games so you can **** and moan at the players to their faces and yell at Dean and Webber to get out of ‘your’ club? Or do you behave yourself in the stadium and then come on here to unload your deeper frustration? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In a cup game against a weakened opposition I’d welcome Pukki being given a chance to score a goal or two and retain a bit of confidence. It’s worked wonders for Sargent and two confident strikers are better than one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inch High aka Inchy.. 412 Posted August 21, 2022 The problem with that is the fact they don't really connect as they play different styles. I feel we are better with just one of them and not both and at the moment JS is the one in form. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are officially gelled? its not like we get a draw next game and we can go back on the gelling once gelled, we cannot claim further gelling is required. you are gelled or not gelled. You can become un-gelled but then you cannot then claim that more gelling is required. An un-gelling cannot be deemed a success.

A Load of Squit 5,222 Posted August 21, 2022 Once the team gels further then we'll see how much improvement has been achieved, further gelling is obviously the standard we're looking for, once we've achieved this Dean Smith will continue to ensure the team gels further.

Not really been treated as World Cup wining motive, just more to be hopeful about. Particularly the midfield and Sargent looking like a solid Championship striker. Webber is a disgrace and shouldn’t be let off for his utter failure and behaviour over the past 18 months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can't measure gelling in percentages, it's not about worthless statistics like XG, it's about that cheeky glance between midfielders that says 'I've got your back', it's that moment the keeper runs 50 yards to celebrate, it's when the striker makes a beeline to the dug out to share his goal with the coach & his staff. It's about football. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dean Smith isn’t up to the calibre I expect from my football club. I’m allowed that opinion. Oh how wonderfully vague your response is. Typical sound-bites that reflect no real grounded thought. How easy it must be for you to be dissatisfied when you don’t have the best of everything. And yes, you are allowed your opinion, and even better, you’re allowed to share it. But then be ready for others to share their opinion, about your opinion. News flash…It’s not YOUR club. Let the reality of that sink in. You don’t have a say in anything that happens. YOU are a spectator, a support, a fan. You are someone who follows a sports team under the guise of being a fan, but yet complain at every opportunity available, with the overtone that you know best. Strange thing is, as I mentioned above, you still go to the games and give the club your money. I guess you feel that you are buying your right to complain? Funny, because that’s about as smart as not liking a restaurant owner, it’s chef and the food made, but still going, paying for the food, only to complain afterwards. Can you honestly not see how senseless that is? And, a Volvo XC90 T6 is a nice upper-mid range car. The safety features are A1. Don’t knock it ‘til you drive it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
