Great player earlier in his career. And no questioning his intent and desire - he came here for the right reasons. All that is to his credit. But his actual contribution versus what we hoped... I heard he was joining us over lunch when I moved my eldest lad into uni. He told me Smith was joining us. I was buzzing. But he was never a match winner with us. But neither was he a Didi/Flo et al type of "last payday" journeyman and that's also to his credit. Sadly, he just wasn't someone who made a major difference.
Apart from the winner against Blades
Agree though, he never quite “ran the show” as many assumed he would, but there were some very good technical players around him who’d had a couple of years in Robbo’s system to do the creative stuff.
