Quote: Dita's Slot Meter "Forgive me for sensing a touch of deja vu here, but I'm feeling vibes of 2009 here...
'That Monaghan is rubbish, get shut'... 'King??... absolutely stealing a wage - get shut'....
I get the feeling it's going to take a similar solution to rectify things too. Sack the coach, fetch in a decent guy, with a successful pedigree and start getting a tune out of a squad which should be performing far better than it presently is.
One can only hope the change is made in time to actually keep this season alive.'"
Spot on, this 100% Smith came in and made the players play to their potential, we need some of that now. If there are players who are causing an issue then the coach needs to be ruthless with them. Smith very quickly set his stall out and the players quickly got on board with it. I wish now he had left us before it went sour (he always said coaches had a shelf life and was spot on) and we could have brought him back in again in the future once he'd refreshed himself.
