Criticising Smith is justifiable, but I'd debate whether calling for his head is.
So he can lose the next 10 games 5-0 and you think he should at least get the rest of the season to turn it around. He may be a nice mana nd he may be loyal but if he doenst turn things round soon then changes have to be made. Im not willing to give 30 games just because of loyalty.

How am I supposed to answer a question like that? It's hypothetical. I could say would you still be saying that if we roll Bristol Rovers over next week? This is far from a bolt from the blue so I'm perfectly happy to set a timescale on it. No offence, but you do like to post these things in the heat of the moment during/after games so it's not always easy to have a bit of perspective. If we do lose every game between now and then then he's in deep shit but right now that's not an argument you can use.

Another hypothetical. If things don't turn round soon he'll be in the firing line, but I'm talking about here and now, and talking about what will happen if X,Y and Z happens is not an argument that I can debate with because I'm not a clairvoyant.

We aren't getting thrashed every week. We had two bad ones off the back of our great start, and this is the first time we've shipped goals since. But yes, I understand your point of view too!
