Quote bishops finger="bishops finger"Fc under Smith remind me of Rovers under Smith in the second season, first season Toronto folded so we had no relegation pressure and just played crazy side to side rugby, but that second season we were similar to how you find yourselves, unfit, constantly losing the ruck, no line speed, and unstructured. He loves that heads up and play what you see scenario, and it's great to see when it comes off, it just doesn't come off that often does it.
We'd compete with the bigger teams and then not turn up against the lesser teams,
I was sad to see him go because he's obviously got a great track record of improving teams given time, but even fc fans can't deny that Rovers seem to have improved since he left,
One other thing that caught my eye in pre season was his interview that he stated that he was taking the fitness side of things easier, not wanting to push it too early, but not being fully fit leads to fatigue which leads to errors which leads to points against.
Time will tell whether he's still got it, and whether your owner has the patience to find out.'"
Jury still out on Peters, Rovers are only 2 points above FC. Peters could be the next Woolf or the next Sandercock its a bit too early to say. What Smith did was lay the foundations and Peters has been able to fill gaps this season.
