Will the positive comments from those at the game change your mind about Grof, or will you continue to deny facts?

He's cac. Fact. Oh and I was at the game.

Taundry shocking yet again, how does he still get in the team ?
Pata is going backwards , lacking confidence. Give the lad a break before he become the new boo boys target.
Ref was whistle happy and never let the game flow.

I wouldn't trust Smith with any money, he's already wasted money on Darlo, Brandy, Hemmings, Taundrey and who knows what ex premiership promising talent might be coming our way. He's a chancer when it comes to signings and I don't believe for one minute he ever watches them before signing but instead prefers to read their stats/bullshite.
Of course you wouldn't. You wanted him out last season and still do.

I may have mentioned this also, but it's a good job we have a good youth system.
Im bored of repeating this little point too, Smith has ample resources as far as Im concerned. If you delete at least 5 bad signings per season, loan or permanent, then you could easily replace with 3 good signings in the correct position and of the correct standard to make us a better team. This alleged lack of resources is all coming to a head once again and is pointing to the usual suspects crying their eye's out about the owner. IF we need any players in particular positions then it's another MOSSIVE failure of Smith to recognise this.
Smith looks like he's playing Football Manager on the computer, 2 blokes in this position, cover in that position (regardless of quality).
And still the blind loyalty to this dim bloke continues.

Also the lucky signings of Cuvelier and Ledesma weren't players that he scouted?
Smith is ok at best an some of his decisions make me reach for the bleach. However, he certainly doesn't deserve calls for the sack yet.
Bit of perspective would be good, that's all. Instead of all your tampon filling.

I'll just take it as the obvious avoidance of points made in my post. Cheers.

My view, judgement and position on Smith is based on his teams performances, both this season, and the last two albeit he only had a few months after Hutchings was sacked two seasons ago. Saddler Ken has already identified his greatest strength, that of engendering a good team spirit. It was more than likely that it was this 'togetherness' that enabled us to stay up after Hutchings left and for that he must be praised. Last season, his first when he had to assemble his own team what exactly did we end up with and what progress was made? Well the tactics and general play could best be described as predictable, direct and uninspiring, His lucky break was to link up with Richard O'Kelly and finally sign a couple of decent players [a result of his chancing in the player loan market] Flo Culvelier and Ledesma to join us and thus rescue our season once again at the end. This season has been remarkable for the change in the way we have been playing, playing a slick passing possession game which initially caught teams by surprise, captured and delighted fans and promised us some relief from the struggles of the past few years. It is no surprise that the players that have made the difference are players that have a past connection with Richard O'Kelly, Nick Featherstone alone has been a brilliant signing, I can't imagine for one moment that he was on Smiths radar. What about the way we have been trying to play, again it is no coincidence that Richard O'Kelly has undoubtedly influenced the way we are trying to play.
For those who ask who is the manager and who is responsible ultimately for results, who decides on the substitutions, the team selection and the tactics? well it must be Smith then because he is the manager in name and until he is replaced I am happy to apportion all credit, praise and blame to him. So well done Dean for saving us from relegation for the last two years, well done for signing every new player, well done for the new style of play, team selections, past and present tactics, substitutions and finally well done for the last few games :arrow: PERIOD
Oh and well done for everyone that has burst into tears this season because someone has the temerity to actually question the Ginger Mourinho 'he's still learning' status as Walsall's saviour.
