zab6359 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) I know we are in the midst of a serious injury crisis, but this is the first time I'm really finding myself questioning Dean Smith as our manager.

We’re no better than we were when we finished 5th last season in the championship. What do you all expect? You buy shit players, expect shit results. Agreed 100%. I hoped if we stayed in touch until Jan, we'd bolster the squad and have a chance. Our January activity so far suggests we'll be going down with barely a whimper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the hell can’t we set up to do that? It’s like DS has tried to park the bus until we can make some signings. You can’t play against city like this. Also, I swear I heard DS just shout ‘Wes!’ To be fair. We gave a really good game against City, Liverpool, Arsenal and United. We probably should have won those last two and didn't disgrace ourselves in the first two. We have this time... But he doesn't set up that way Edited January 12, 2020 by HalfTimePost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) 5 minutes ago, Genie said: Buying so many players from inferior leagues to the place they need to perform was far too risky. They weren’t cheap either. It’ll take 3-4 years to clear the decks of this latest wave. Let's face facts, it's not just the players, but clearly the coaching. Fitness levels are poor and that reflects on the strength and conditioning this lot receive, the technical and tactical stuff is pretty poor as well, little in the way of a high press and possession based football.

Villarocker Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 That just summed Drinkwater up. Mendy mis-controls the ball but Drinkwater hesitated and then when he did try to get it back it simply bounced off them and to a Man City player. The crowd there today deserve something to cheer. Hopefully, before the end, the players give them something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashingqwerty Posted January 12, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 12, 2020 You'd think we'd have a team of Lions. But they are only cubs. The ones that got eaten by the lion when mom wasn't looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed again. In general the players we bought in weren't better than the team that got to the playoffs. Except we wouldn't have Tammy's goals.
