Wonder if tinkering Tonys after game interview will put us to sleep again and we miss the part when he says im off before Adam sacks me

Absolutely appaling performance, woeful. We are a laughing stock at present.We will get hammered next week and again on Good Friday and I think that may well be it for Tony Smith. I was OK with the appointment, we needed an experienced head coach after a decade of appointing assistants but it's just not working out.

The recruitment has been terrible. Pele is a liability and we'll barely see him this season. Okunbor I gave a chance to but he's done nothing really and I take it he was replaced for tactical reasons.

Fair play to Tex Hoy for showing some spirit.

Smith needs to go for me. Worst start to a season I can remember. Managed to snatch a win against London but other than that all we've done is leak 20+ points a game and offer no attack threat.

We have no structure what so ever.

A poor/small playing squad doesn't cut it for me either. Look at Salford as an example.

After 5 rounds averaging under 11pts for and over 32pts against per game tells the story of just how bad we are.

I was one of his last few supporters, I was prepered to wait the season out and hope that a bigger budget with the youngsters a year older we would start to see things look brighter.

However when you are beat in that manner on your own ground then that cant be accepted. Regardless of the reasons, that simply is not good enough.

Pearson needs to shoulder alot of blame but ultimately this cant be accepted.

My thoughts exactly. There is absolutely no excuses for a performance like that. I thought Smith was a good appointment and given time he would improve us. There's nothing I've seen over the last 2 seasons that we are making any progress in fact we are worse now than Hodgson and Radford's last years.

The squad is simply not good enough but there's no excuse for lack of effort in defence and a clueless attack. The buck stops with Smith. Another thrashing and he'll have to go. The problem is can we afford to pay him off and who will replace him.

McDermott is being lined up to be your new coach (Brian nor Barrie by the way)

Surely not, game over for the club if true
