He knew how to find his man with a ball in, that's for sure

Up to a point 1) For half a season 2) highlights reels don’t show the number of times he failed to beat his man or find a City player with an aimless cross.

By the nature of the requirement for a winger to always do something special they are almost set up to fail. Smith was good for much longer than half a season, but when he eventually didn't live up to the standards shown in the highlights clip he quickly suffered at the hand of our boo boys who knocked his confidence, which of course is such a crucial attribute needed for wingers to perform at their best. As a result he noticeably stopped trying to take full backs on and played a more safety first game, which was not what had made him the player that starred for us when he first got in the team.

So true. Many a promising young player has been ruined by the boo boys.

Still convinced by this logic

Big Dave = B D
Better Days = B D

Always in the know, talks to someone close to the club and the first team (my guess is Robins ), knows about transfers before they happen and knows about the injury status of a player when we didn't even know the player was out......

Come on BD.... 'fess up

Yes and no. I don’t agree with booing players but if they are good enough they’ll be good enough regardless.

That includes mental strength.

Well not entirely, we don't all mature at a given moment in time do we, there has to be some leeway I think.

Oops wrong quote.

No, you were right first time. No need to get swayed by the baying crowd.

Mental strength innit.

Don't agree. Imagine what it would be like as a teenager just making your way into the team and being ridiculed by your own supporters when you make a mistake or when you don't play the ball "forward" as some idiot, who has never played the game, shouts at you.

Can you imagine in your work what it would be like to be shouted at by people who know less about what you are doing than you do and don't have any of your talent? Would be bad enough as a grown up.

Sorry but I just can't work out why any supporter would do this to one of their own team's players. I might have been tempted in the past with players like Ashley Grimes and Kevin Kyle, but have never done it.

Don’t get booing players at the game.

Slag then off repeatedly on the internet like a normal person.
