Quote: ricominciare "Smith I believe has said the criticism of Agar is unwarranted hinting all is well, no sign of him around last night though.
As for loyalty we are all behind the club just commenting on our observations, the players self criticise after they feel they have had a below performance Mick Monas would sulk for a week after a defeat, is it that Smith is too loyal? possibly, as others have stated we feel the half back position has not been sorted, yet to Smith he had Myler, O'Brien, Ratchford with Bridge in the mix so to him where's the problem, that I think is the problem not facing up to the fact for whatever reason they are collectively not doing the business.'"
I think that Smith was unable to attract the big HB he may have wanted for the season after Briers and he backed his young players to step up (good that a coach backs his youngsters). However this does not seem to have worked for whatever reason and so Smith has, in hindsight, made a mistake. I don't think him airing this in the press would be productive. I would rather like to think they are trying to resolve out of the glare of the media and forums.
Imagine him trotting out the lines "I had hoped GOB, Patton or Myler would have stepped up but they have been found wanting so I am looking to get rid and replace them". No that's not the way.
He's made some mistakes and I'm sure he will learn from them.
