canarybubbles 1,944 Posted November 2, 2022 According to Sam Seaman, this is the quote from Smith: "I did see it. Unfortunately I saw their first goal as well!" Yes, Dean, I did see your 3-0 victory at Watford. Unfortunately I saw your other 49 games in charge of Norwich City as well. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought that was an unnecessary comment. Imagine Bali reading that? Unprovoked defence of the club and it’s decision to sanction the move. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So as I see Bali Mumba as one for the future, but I see Smith as detrimental to the success of that future playing the brand of football he has spent a year crafting, I want Mumba to stay out until a new manager comes in who can hopefully incorporate Mumba into a team that he can shine in.

Either way, he's right - whether you like it or not. Exeter's first goal started with Mumba on the ball, last man with an Exeter play closing, facing the right hand touch line... two real safe options their, punt it up field or put it our for a throw. He chooses option 3, to try and take it past the man, fails, then tries to take him down, which could have been red if successful, and then is left stranded as the player he failed to take down breaks free and lays it on a plate for their goal. If he'd stayed on his feet he would have least pressured the chap. If he had played the ball out... Not a huge negative, but this is why he is on loan, he wont make that mistake again, you'd hope, and he'll put that down to the learning curve. Mumba's goal was a cracker, no doubt about that.

Gunn You can’t compare Angus Gunn performance levels at the start of Smith’s tenure to now as he never played him due to Krul being more established rather than because he wasn’t good enough. Danel…………….Sinani. To be honest we could do this for a while and you’ll still feel Smith is some kind of talent moulder. I happen to disagree. He clearly doesn’t back himself if he is willing to let Mumba go out on loan while he focussed his development in Springett and Sinani etc. Mumba looks like he has kicked on in this time and Sinani, Springett, Aarons, Cantwell, blah have not kicked on or come nowhere near to where they have shown they can be just a couple of seasons ago. So even IF Smith is the new talent development messiah he clearly doesn’t quite know how to actually get the most from this talent in the pitch.

Some players have got better in the time Smith has been here, some have gone backwards. That happens under ALL managers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That happens under ALL managers. So realistically, when I make a joke about Mumba staying at Plymouth to continue his development until Smith, who didn’t see his talent for this season, leaves and takes his rubbish football with him maybe it’s not worthwhile questioning my tongue in cheek view that he is a talent destroyer. He’s clearly not a master talent developer either, he is just meh on legs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
