lgfualol Posted 16 June 2023 Posted 16 June 2023 Brought in too late, 2-3 winnable games wasted with the PE teachers that I think Smith could have gotten more from. Did his best with a team that was already mentally finished, and his best wasn't that great - some very odd choices and dependancy on players that threw the towel in months ago. Good luck to him. 3
winteriscoming Posted 16 June 2023 Posted 16 June 2023 Not his fault we went down. Needed to win against one of Leeds, Everton or Fulham. He’s a 1 win in 4/5 manager in the premiership.
STUHILL Posted 16 June 2023 Posted 16 June 2023 I think he was genuinely shocked how bad we were. I remember him looking shell-shocked after Fulham. I think he underestimated how much our squad had checked out and weren't up for the fight. Hard to not like the bloke, but I am also relieved we have moved on from him, as he is rightly or wrongly, tarnished with another relegation. 4

I’ve thought along that he finally got the squad at the end and how to get something out of them but it was too late sadly

UniFox21 Posted 16 June 2023 Posted 16 June 2023 As with a few players, I'm intrigued to learn how bad things actually were when it all comes out in interviews over the coming months and years
Chelmofox Posted 16 June 2023 Posted 16 June 2023 I liked the guy and he should be applauded for taking on a difficult job. 8 games is tough and it should never of come to it, although he very nearly pulled it off. I am convinced there were further issues behind the scenes that he had no control over, and i think these issues manifested themselves in the Fulham game. I hope he gets a decent job as he does deserve it. 1
MPH Posted 16 June 2023 Posted 16 June 2023 Mission impossible. Very few would have been able to stop that rotten mudslide coming down the mountain so fast…he did his best and no bad feelings to him. If we’d had him all season his points ratio would have given us 42 points which would have been classed as a bad season but we’d have stayed up at least.. 1

BR was to blame for our relegation, along with Rudkin and Top, Smith had an impossible task, Smith isnt the man to take us forward, and it now looks like we have a new manager, and fresh start.
Bryn Posted 16 June 2023 Posted 16 June 2023 Did a poor job, not his fault we are where we are but did little positive. No major hard feelings but no particular fondness either. He was a symptom not a condition.
Nugent Posted 16 June 2023 Posted 16 June 2023 He was rubbish. Wish him well for the future though. 3
Dan Posted 16 June 2023 Posted 16 June 2023 45 minutes ago, Simoken said: Should of kept BR, waste of time. end of Agreed. Infuriating that he dodged the relegation officially being on his CV when he was a big protagonist. 2
RoboFox Posted 16 June 2023 Posted 16 June 2023 Nice dude. Was he out of his depth? Probably. Who knows what he would've done if given an extra couple of games. The board's inability to make decisions at the right time is what cost us. Certainly not at fault for relegation. Had a very difficult job trying to clean up the mess that Rodgers left behind and a squad full of players who weren't arsed. Cheers for the effort Dean, but you weren't the one.
David Hankey Posted 16 June 2023 Posted 16 June 2023 The question is; would we have done better without a caretaker manager? And that we'll never know. 1
Guest Mee-9 Posted 16 June 2023 Posted 16 June 2023 Remember how buzzing we all were to see Shakespeare back? The last time we were so happy Shakespeare ****ed off was when we'd finished out GCSEs.

Hope he gets another job somewhere soon. 8 games is difficult for any manager to turn it around. But the board are completely at fault for that. It's disapointing we only took two points out of Leeds and Everton, they were the games he needed to win during his time here. Perhaps we’ll be glad in the long run that Maddison missed that pen?
