It's documented on here I'm yet to be enamoured by Smith, but I don't see how much blame can be allocated to him today. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken Hairy 4,335 Posted October 8, 2022 The boos were definitely more for the ref, I actually have no issue with him calling a foul on Hanley for that, but then by his own standards of what's a foul we should have had penalties at almost every corner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 10,949 Posted October 8, 2022 Very self destructive today. Opening 15-20 minutes our football was superb but we didn't take the opportunities to score 3+ goals. Remembering this side don't typically concede many we had to be far more clinical with those opportunities. No manager can legislate for those mistakes and the awful finishing but I would say his subs did not make us any better.

Capt. Pants 5,152 Posted October 8, 2022 Played well for 15 mins but then decided we'd done enough. He can't be held accountable for player errors but something is not right wifh our attitude. Probably our most negative manager since Hughton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canarybubbles 2,210 Posted October 8, 2022 The defensive errors seem to be a concentration thing. When we are under the cosh, we actually tend to defend quite well, but when we are in the ascendant, we just seem to switch off. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
