Lovely, we could frame it.

If only we could pay for a new city stand with kudos.

Yup, I imagine we are quite high in the xFans table, based on our current average, catchment area and population growth of the city.

If only that was true. We'll be 8th before he goes.

Is that next season? Because even if we don't go up this year I don't see us getting rid of him.

Norwich have nearly always struggled against Watford. They can't cope with physical, lanky hoofball. 

Errr last season at Vicarage Road???

Always a season highlight... frustratingly a club I cannot stand either, which compounds it.

[Indy 3,297]

I really think Smith is a poor coach, 93 minutes, Cantwell & Hernandez on and Sargent still wide left!

I can't imagine even Webber being that tin-eared and dense.

Actually, I think I can.

Judging on the last 10-15 mins, we can’t play it either.

That was the exception to the norm, pretty much always beat us through physicality over recent seasons.

I can see Webber leaving at the end of the season and the new man wanting to bring in his own manager.

I'd rather it happened right now, but that's what I envisage happening.

Only six minutes injury time was a joke!

I was thinking more along the lines of Webber will be gone at the end of the year and DS&MWJ are too soft to pull the trigger alone.

Except the last time we played them. 

[baldy09 156]

had the chance to really  push forward at the top  - but when the need city let themselves down

[Capt. Pants 4,225]

Utter ****.

 

[Michael Starr 519]

Smith out. He hasn't got a clue.

[ricardo 7,384]

Never looked like it.

He doesn't care. 

What he cares about is collecting his pay cheque until he impresses somebody enough to jump to his next project. He's zoned out.

Nobody better out there and nobody sacks a manager when 3rd in the table.

[Midlands Yellow 3,974]

Calm down everyone and wait for the confirmed xG stats. 

[City 2nd 191]

Absolute ****e! Why was Hernandez even on the pitch? Only one person to blame for such a defeat, the loser smith!

Smith makes Hughton look good 😔

[Pyro Pete 1,891]

Now can people stop saying fans should be grateful to Smith.

Down the league we go...

[KeiranShikari 1,410]

We'll be fine once he gets about 5 more signings.

[Carn 71]

Results catching up with performances, Smith out

We'll be lucky to be in the top 6 in three weeks time. Luton will do us, so will Sheffield United.

So if everyone jumps off a cliff and nobody has said no would you then jump? 

[ricardo 7,384]

He gave everyone a run out. 

Some say it's an astute use of subs.

Yup always on the cards to lose tonight. Frankly most of these kind of teams have bigger, faster and even more technically competent players than we do, we beat them when we play with crisp passing, movement and quick breaks. Not pfaffing around at the back and lumps up field to chase. That does work too often to allow the management team not to change it, but again if we beat all the also rans, tonight doesn't matter.

Whole new back four needed for starts. Why everyone is blaming Smith when it's the defence that needs sackig is beyond me
