Yep-fair point.
Yep-fair point.He was also hung out to dry by Sillett because he,was told to curb his attacking tendencies so as not to expose Downes who sillett loved.

In fairness to Downs he was the epitome of a player who gave his all but was very limited. It was always going to be a case of after the Lord Mayors show in regards to who’s boots he was trying to fill.Loved Sillett but think that was a big error on his part.

It was a pen.1-0 to referee.
That was the most obvious penalty we are ever going to concede.1-0 to referee.
Didn’t Smith play on the right? It was normally Nick Pickering in front of Downs.He was also hung out to dry by Sillett because he,was told to curb his attacking tendencies so as not to expose Downes who sillett loved.

He may have had stints on the right I cant recall but he definitely played on the left. I can remember one day when it got particularly vitriolic against him and it was right in front of me and I was in the old Sky Blu
I first saw Smith playing in an FA youth cup semi final against Man U at HR. He was the standout player on either side, so I wasn't too surprised when he made it into the 1st team. When he did he was very good. He would kind of drop his shoulder then just beat his marker for pace, and he was a very good crosser of the ball.
Unfortunately after about 18 months in the team he had a bad spell, lost his confidence and became a target of the boo boys which then made it doubly harder for him. I remember reading in the 'Staying Up' book that Strachan commented that John Salako had very brittle confidence and that being on the wing he picked up on every negative comment aimed at him. I think the same applied to Smith. He had the odd cameo moment after that but unfortunatey was never the same player that first made it into the team. '
Few people have said this but thought I heard quite a few around block 22. Also plenty saying we didn’t deserve to be 2-0 down though.Credit to our fans yesterday. Didn’t hear any boos at HT despite being 2 down
