Smith vs Derbyshire


Recommended Posts

For all our scramble to try and re-sign Derbyshire, Smith has quietly moved level with him in terms of goals scored all from just 11 starts and a fair few sub appearances. He might not be the most technically gifted player but he is growing into that out and out old fashioned Number 9 role. I still think we need another striker but for now Smith keeps the shirt and I'd be looking at a nippy option alongside him to feed off those headers he wins time after time. BTW Derbyshire scored his 6 goals in 20 starts. Now i'm not for one minute saying Smithy is a better striker, but used correctly he can be as equally effective.

if we do like we did sunday put someone around him who can chase flicks, close defenders down and be another type of outlet for the team and put some quality balls in the air he will score a few.

 

He always gets chances in matches because of his size - he may never be prolific but he is useful for us im not sure we should be relying on him to play from the start week in week out but at against Liverpool that was his best performance in the air won everything 1st half and some good lay offs and he found the back of the net.

Well, he's come good over the last six weeks or so when he has started to jump his height. I thought he put decent shifts in against both Donny and Forest, winning headers for the first time ever.

 

Would love to see him get a taste for battering centre-halves and start doing it every week
