Yeah I suppose I'm a dreamer to think we would have been better than the likes of Southampton, Newcastle, Crystal Palace and Burnley with a striker who can actually score goals.Finishing above 10th

Reading few some of these comments it makes me think that a manager at AVFC really has no chance...into a toxic club in October, promotion gained by May...no credit whatsoever...all to do with key players.......poor this season, struggling to survive....the manager is useless. From October to that great day in May last season I loved it...both home and away...football on the front foot, crowds flocking back, unity on and off the pitch. Yes, this season has been a struggle but to say Dean Smith had nothing to do with last season’s success on the pitch and in revitalising a pretty despondent fan base ( just because of an agenda against the bloke based on this season alone).. is harsh in the extreme.
The definition of fickle.
Yes spot on, and while your at it I think it needs saying that Bruce before him played a vital part in stopping the rot.
If he could have just treated the Fulham game as the one off that it was and gone for it we could have gone up that season.
He gets a lot of undeserved stick on here for whatever reason.
I accept he wasnt everyones cup of tea but after the relegation we had been through and the off the park antics we perhaps needed a bit of a dour type to settle things down.
He's done alright since he came in and he received ample credit for promotion, even though we had a poor return in the league that season. However if you get a team relegated with extremely poor football you'll get criticism. There's no agenda against him we slate all of our managers, he's had it easy in comparison to some. I don't go in for this poor Dean thing. He hasn't produced the results nor the performances simple as that. Net result of Smith's tenure is that he hasn't really got us anywhere as we'll be back in the Championship next season.
Pretty tidy performance today for an hour, but we were never likely to score with our impotent strikers. We did as well as most teams do against Liverpool, though they weren't near their best. It's capitulating against the likes of Watford and Bournemouth that has cost us so dear.
Tidy performance, decent disciplined performance, good game plan still =
Nil points.
Running out of time .
No sign of a win .
My standards of acceptable being 3rd from bottom with 5 games to go are vastly different from some who seem to be under some delusion that we have time to fcuk about not getting any wins .

The type of performance where if it had occurred in September or whatever I might have been encouraged by but its not good enough now. Bar Douglas no one has really looked like they are frantic to keep in this league since the restart.
