Ok, he moulded the team he inherited to glory like he did Leeds.
But questions about can he build a team.
I'd go with this - He got the team that Paul Cullen built to finally perform to its potential.
Now that side has gradually grown old and left, he has the true test of building his own side - At the moment, he looks like he is doing a poor job of it.
Several of the players simply don't look upto the required standard, those few that are upto standard, are not doing it on the field - When that happens questions have to be asked of your coach.
Whilst I'm not advocating any 'Smith Out' campaign, I would always remind people that however good a coach may be, they do have a natural lifespan at any one club - It just might be that Smith has reached that point at Wire and it could be time for a fresh face with fresh ideas, who, supported with some fresh finance from Simon Moran, could shake up the squad, which, if anything, is showing signs of lethargic complacency.
