This year has been so bad (almost all of it) that Smith has burned through the credit he built up at the end of last season. I think this is why people are so frustrated, we've been here a hell of a lot over the last 6-7 years.

Something has to change otherwise we are just doing what Einstein suggested was the definition of madness.
