The performance of a side is a function of players and the coaching - both. That’s not nonsense.

I understand that many of you just don’t like RS and the knives are out. My point is that the squad just isn’t good enough still and especially with half the team missing, literally.

I don’t know whether RS is the man to helm up glory days again but neither does anyone else on here without better evidence than we’ve been given this season. The only caveat to this is if he has lost the dressing room and the players aren’t wanting to listen and work under him - which again I doubt anyone on here really knows.


Sorry Jim, had a few too many last night. Didn't mean to be rude.
I just think that we are going backwards.
People keep saying that we're only a handful of players from being a top team.
Maybe we are.
But at the moment, there's something very wrong.
We have spent the majority of the season looking completely disorganised and absolutely clueless.
That's got to be mostly down to the coach.
FWIW I don't think we should sack Smith now. It would be pointless really.
Presumably he has a grand recruitment and retention plan, so we have to let him see it through.
I think he knows where we need to strengthen and hopefully GH is backing him.
He has 10-12 games next year.
If we are not in the top 6, then he has to go and we are starting again.

I think that's a sensible approach. Smith did amazingly in 22, he and he team have been poor this year. The first 3rd of 24, with his own picks on board, is a fair time for him to facilitate considerable improvement.

No problem mate agree with you here.
