Risso Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Only a masochist would have stuck with the awful 5-3-2, but he has, and thanks to that lunacy we’ve been utterly outplayed so far. Time for him to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThornburyVilla Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Don’t understand why after such a great season and such a solid defensive record, he has resorted to 5 at the back. All playing out of position to accommodate players - that never works!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, it’s a great formation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_1989 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Playing 3-5-2 purely because too scared to drop Watkins. this just isn’t working. Good chance Smith won’t see Xmas as manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Probably our worst 45 minutes since promotion. Watford was horrible but at least we had the odd attack. Not good from him as given it's a London game I assume both of the owners are there watching this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holteend1982 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Needs to grow a set of bollocks and drop either Watkins or ings. Shocking from minute 1 and hes just stood by and watched it happen.

rodders0223 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Needed the full 45 minutes to see that wasn't working Deano? Abysmal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just procrastinates too much during games I'm afraid. Sometimes gets away with it, not tonight. What's annoying to me is he knows there is an issue as he's constantly talking to the other coaches yet nothing ever gets decided other than keep things as they are.

thejoker Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I think we have to thank Smith for his 3 years, but he’s not taking us any further. I really don’t have a clue who could replace him, but that’s not my job fortunately. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mykeyb Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 And that is why some fans are questioning his position. Obvious after 10 minutes that it we needed a change and he does nothing. So 2 down at half time. Well done Dean. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welsh_Villan Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Why is he waiting for the ref to kick off about the penalty. Just get down the tunnel and sort out the mess on the pitch pal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Some overreacting as usual but Deano is on thin ice, no question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strog Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Sad to say but the team and performances have gone completely backwards. Tactics and formation are not working. The team are clueless and have no confidence. Deano needs a miracle to keep his job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Too late Deano. From the first whistle it didn't look right. Watkins looked angry. Players were snappy agitated and didn't look right. Same as when we conceded against Wolves. Everyone just bickering for an excessive period of time. Whe Things just don't seem right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
