yarddog73 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 looking back over the past 12 months or so where would we be with players we have let go say a starting 11 of oxley kusunga tarky lanzoni m'voto croft wes baxter matt smith philly harkins with korey, jch, worral, charlie, mellor, grounds in reserve ? I know we have turned over a high volume of players but youd like to think that if we had an ounce of ambition we could be competitive with the top 6 ?

unsworthlatic Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 looking back over the past 12 months or so where would we be with players we have let go say a starting 11 of oxley kusunga tarky lanzoni m'voto croft wes baxter matt smith philly harkins with korey, jch, worral, charlie, mellor, grounds in reserve ? I know we have turned over a high volume of players but youd like to think that if we had an ounce of ambition we could be competitive with the top 6 ? First of all we wouldn't have been able to afford all of them at once so that rules it out. Secondly, oxley - woeful kusunga - injured or suspended most of the time tarky - Wanted to go, offered some money and ultimately took it lanzoni - Wanted to go, was out of contract m'voto - same as lanzoni croft - don't even know what happened with croft wes - still there baxter - was never going to stay matt smith - didn't really rate him, scored two crucial, memorable goals against liverpool and one against everton philly - still there, lost form harkins - still there, is fantastic But still, lovely to dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JA11K Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Those saying no thanks to Smith... he has scored nine goals in the Championship, four more than our highest goalscorer in the league this season. Much better option than we have this year, although admittedly our lack of proper wingers atm would have hindered him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact he has championship wingers means he will score it's inevitable. Anyone remember his miss against Crewe at home was it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Sinnott Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Anyone remember his miss against Crewe at home was it? Not as much as I remember his unplayable display at Forest, his two goals against Liverpool, his last minute equaliser against Everton, his winner against Bury, his winner against Yeovil and his goal against Crawley...

Zorrro Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 He's scored 10 goals this season. I think at least 50% of his appearances have been from the bench. Not bad going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old boss is a Leeds fan. They're struggling at the moment but he says Matt Smith, for all his weaknesses, is one of the few who is putting in 100% when he's on the pitch, winning what's lumped up to him, holding the ball up well and getting on the end of crosses. Can't really expect the lad to do more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nohairdontcare Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I'll always love Smith for that FA Cup madness - as I said at the time, his goal against Everton at home sparked a reaction from me that was even more ecstatic than any I've had in football before, including my country at World Cups. He headed home a rare but truly glorious moment. It'll be a long time before we see it's likes again. So good luck to the lad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. A limited player - but a limited player who scored some friggin important goals for us. The Bury one - even though I was locked out and in pub when it went in - being arguably the most important one. For those goals alone, will always recieve a warm welcome when back at BP from me.

futchers briefs Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 By the way, if any of you have half of the talent, a quarter of the ambition and an eighth of the desire, do like Smith did - Get off your arse and achieve the dream - He's done that!!!
