Getting rid of Smith with achieve nothing but another year of building as a new coach won’t have ‘his’ side.
There’s plenty of time left this year to turn it around last thing this club needs is another coaching merry go round, Smith was signed as a long term project let him do what he was brought in to do.
FWIW i think we will make the playoffs and not just scrape in.

At what point have I said that…
Smith got a lot of credit last year, he’s getting a lot of stick this year. Some of it is his fault. Some of it isn’t. Realistically there’s no doubt he needs to change some things and if he doesn’t he’ll run out of good will with the people who matter, not you, me or anyone else on here.
Sounds like discipline is an issue tonight, as well as errors, those are two errors I generally don’t lay squarely at the feet of the coach.
Simmo71 wrote:Yes, errors and discipline has cost us tonight. But there's no structure, no game plan, no organisation and no leadership. It's all just desperate, off the cuff plays when we do actually launch a rare attack. Sadly, I'm losing faith in Smith I'm afraid. We have to give him the chance to turn it round, but things need to change quickly. This group of players are massively under-performing.
Agree. Smith is simply not delivering the goods. If we don’t make the playoffs that’s a huge failure. It’s not good enough simple as.
Ooh looking forward to more non challenging questions by JD too which provide no insight whatsoever. Happy to grumble and moan though his commentary but not ask any important questions. Listening to him and Cummins tops of the sht show each week. Granted I'm not one of you poor buggers paying to watch this crap

I'm not seeing any evidence of that to prove your optimism, 11 games in and week to week we just look dreadful on both sides of the ball.

Just an example from tonight, we had them camped on their line Bentley rushed out and clearly shoulder charged one of their players we end up on our own line and bentley drops the ball cold. That’s not coaching that’s dumb play by a player.
Im not saying Smith shouldn’t shoulder some of the blame but it’s not solely down to coaching

We didn’t see any evidence this time last year, SL bar wakefield is very competitive this year and a lot can change in a few weeks never mind 10+ games

Its smiths fault he keeps selecting Bentley who’s f**king c**p week in week out, stop selecting him.
