What exactly is your point?
Dickov said with smith and Simpson out chris and Lee will provide more firepower, he also said they did well against Liverpool but we've not been taking our chances in the league?
He never said Smith would be dropped on return?
If Barnard and iwelumo do nothing I'm sure smith will slot back in, however if they hit it off in style, why not make smith earn his place back? It's called competition.
