| It's clear RS has lost a lot of the fan base.
The London game should show if he's lost the players/ team.
He has to be able to get the team playing well for the majority of the 80mins in the majority of games.
No sign of that has occurred yet, albeit with certain mitigating circumstances.
If we win, it already feels like it's just papering over big cracks. If we lose then that will be another low point to deal with

Genuine question - When was the last time Leeds put in a full 80mins?
I cant remember when we have - I reckon it was under him on our run to the GF.

Years. But I did say majority and not full. Playing well to good for 60 mins will see more wins than losses

Sorry, I didnt mean it to sound like I was demanding an answer from you , it was more of a genuine opine about how lax (IMHO) we've become accustomed to.
I agree 60 mins would usually lead to a lot more wins but I cant say we are even anywhere near that level which is appalling.

| I think Smith is aware that his job is vulnerable. I was intrigued by his comment that ‘the club’ have decided to let the youth come through, rather than spending (I paraphrase). This can only be directed at Gary. If so then I think Gary has to give him ( a bit ) more time. The crisis may come if a few senior players organise a delegation to speak to Gary.
We can all be guilty of over-reading between the lines but I have noticed that no player ever refers to the manager. Often when a team is under-performing you would see players publicly backing the manager - but we aren’t seeing of that.

No need to apologise, I didn't take it that way . I just try be clear when there are two very opposing camps .
Agreed,also. The lack of consistency is worrying across the board. Tackling / defence / passing / leadership / smarts/kicking/ etc means we put in random performances that frustrate fans.
I'm on the fence. There is no point sacking RS unless we have a top quality guy to come in straight away. Someone with a plan, set goals and so on.
Given how many coaches we have run through in 5 years and obvious on field issues I can't see a top guy wanting the job until we are more stable.
However, RS doesn't fill me with confidence with the post match comments, failure to implement any structure or get the team to stop the stupid repetitive behaviour evident in every game.
Something just isn't clicking / working and RS needs to figure it out. If he can't then we are up the creek

| Maybe for next season. Have to say he lost a lot of reputation points at Souths in the last year or so.
On JJB etc we just need to be more professional in the approach to backroom staff at all levels. Why is Ryan Hall getting a commercial gig for instance? Has he got any experience at all in that area, or is it that he wants a start and we've made an opening for him? If so, why? We're not a charity for old boys, but it sometimes looks like we are.

| I thought Smith's press conference was better today, mainly because he was being asked some of the questions they seem to have been avoiding. I'm not sure why none of them push back on his comments when he suggests a poor performance was good/acceptable though.
The issues with a new coach are very valid. It would be far better if Smith can turn things around. But some of these opportunities to reboot things need to be taken. Huddersfield was a chance after a 2-week turnaround, Hull was a chance because they're a really poor team, London is chance because they are a Championship team in SL. After this we play some decent teams in consecutive weeks. Another sloppy win against London followed by two defeats - potentially big ones - would really leave us in the mire almost halfway through the season.

Have some respect for a Loyal Servant.'" Agree has been a loyal servant as a player, seems to have a finger in too many pies nowadays. Went squealing to his best mate and next thing Furner was gone, we could have had a decent coach and not been in the mess we find ourselves in now. What is his fancy job title at the moment, just remind me ?
