I dunno, it doesn't feel like the dissatisfied are shouty types

Smith doesn't have much credit in the bank mainly because, apart from a few short purple patches it doesn't feel like he's really improved us.

In my mind, a good manager is one that can turn around form from poor results quickly, and extend good runs of results. He's shown the second half of that equation (kudos), tonight's the chance to demonstrate the first.

What would also buy credit would be seeing players really kick on in form.

Sarge has this year, seeing flickers from Dowell of what he did in the last champs run in.

We really do need a Hayden or Sorenson to help do the water carrying and release the more creative players.

It'd also be nice to see the squad gently rotated, to keep fresh. It still all feels quite chop and changy.

Am fairly confident tho, as I think our squad depth should put us in agood place in this compressed season.
