Maybe, but when you look at our players compared to most Champ

squads, we should be winning a lot of games.

A lot of good Champ managers get a tune out of theoretically interior players by making the team greater than the sum of its parts. Most Champ managers don't have access to the likes of Pukki, Nunez, Aarons, Krul, Cantwell, Rashica, even Hanley and Kenny are two-time Champ winners.

So yes, I think Smith should be doing better. But I get that it's early days, and we haven't seen a midfield of Hayden, Nunez, Sara yet.

But he needs results, and very fast.
