[> [> [> Subject: It;s never his fault is it? Author: BillesleyNomad [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: "Tue, Mar 22 2011, 1:18:01 GMT" When is Mr Smith going to man up and acknowledge some responisbility for the woeful inconsistancies HIS teams have displayed over the last 2 seasons? The finger is always pointing somewhere else! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Blame game Author: Rick [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: "Tue, Mar 22 2011, 11:21:59 GMT" I read Smithy's post match comments sometimes and wander if he was watching the same game as me. Underperformance and failure to perform the basics has been a hallmark of his teams since he joined the club. I think its completely unprofessional for a coach to castigate players in this manner.

[> [> [> [> Subject: Poll Author: MG [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: "Tue, Mar 22 2011, 12:05:52 GMT" I would be interested to see the results of a poll on how many think smith should stay in charge or go??? I think he should see out the season and then go, personally! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: how can we vote when we don't know the whole story? Author: Hogan [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: "Wed, Mar 23 2011, 11:15:37 GMT" I think the main problem is attempting to move on from Dual Reg players too soon. As the Glos arrangement petered out and the Wuss deals all ended we just don't have the cash to fund "our own" players of that calibre. To what extent this is Smithy's decision I'll never know, but I still give him the benefit of the doubt and get angered by demoralising rants on here calling for his head. I assume these are roundball fans, and welcome to Moseley you are, but please don't bring too much of that ethos with you. (especially the peculiar claim that players win games but coaches lose them. How bizarre is that!) Most of all, don't panic. If ever there was a single defining characteristic of Mose sides over the years it's that old "when the going gets tough, the tough get going" spirit. Last year we lost three play off games before the going got tough enough to fire up performances at Rotherham and against Cov. We've only lost two so far [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
