Title: Grant Smith Post by: Dazzza on Saturday, February 5, 2005, 17:18:41 Doesn't sound like the same player that got a slagging and was acknowledged as being on the way out by the smoking chimp at the AGM.
Seems like a decent run in the team has paid dividends. Another goal today and he is starting to become invaluable. In the past he seemed to be a man permanently on the fringes and seemed unnecessarily dropped after a loss when often he was not the worst or certainly no worse than those around him. New contract? Hope so, will he accept though? Title: Grant Smith Post by: Simon Pieman on Saturday, February 5, 2005, 17:19:57 i wouldn't blame him if he left, but i do think we need him - he adds something different to our midfield
Title: Grant Smith Post by: DMR on Saturday, February 5, 2005, 17:23:00 It's bizarre, when Howard sorts himself out I still probably wouldn't pick Smith in my first 11.
Long may it continue though.

Long may it continue though. Even though he's scored as many goals as Howard in less than half as many appearances? Weirdo. Title: Re: Grant Smith Post by: OOH!

still let's see how he gets on when the chips are down for him. Title: Grant Smith Post by: Johno on Saturday, February 5, 2005, 19:55:36 another goal.... give him a contract! :D
Title: Grant Smith Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Saturday, February 5, 2005, 19:59:30 He'll probably do superbly well for the rest of the season and then say to Kingy when he grudgingly offers him a new deal, "Fuck you monkey boy, I'm going to play for a manager who has some faith in me!"
That's my prediction any way.

Yes I know, but a fitter leaner Howard would bring more to the side than Smith does in my humble opinion. Title: Grant Smith Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Saturday, February 5, 2005, 22:52:42 Well it's about time he got off his fat complacent and arse and actually started getting leaner and fitter would you not say David????
Title: Grant Smith Post by: DMR on Saturday, February 5, 2005, 23:53:29 Yes
Title: Grant Smith Post by: Rossi on Sunday, February 6, 2005, 00:59:04 Oh yes!
Title: Grant Smith Post by: FlashGordon on Sunday, February 6, 2005, 09:59:46 Personally ive always liked Smith, Couldnt understand (like many) why he wasnt given more opportunities. Anyway glad he's getting a run and showing what he can do - defensively he's also doing well - puts in more tackles than Hewlett does, does more than Hewlett generally.
Funny how King still seems to begrudgingly like him, saying after its lucky for smith he's playing well so Howard cant come in, when he dips in form howard will be bk in?! Shows some faith man! Title: Grant Smith Post by: reeves4england on Sunday, February 6, 2005, 16:10:54 I always though he was better than most said, and let's not forget that at one point people were saying they didn't want him in the team.
I always thought he was goo, especially his passing/crossing which is something we've lacked. Title: Grant Smith Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Sunday, February 6, 2005, 16:13:10 hes got a great shot on him aswell! i think he could be good for scotland!
Title: Grant Smith Post by: reeves4england on Sunday, February 6, 2005, 16:20:36 Too good for Scotland. To play for them you have to be a 19 year old nobody at a SPL club.

Title: Grant Smith Post by: santini on Sunday, February 6, 2005, 20:27:15 Quote from: "dave_m_russell" ... but a fitter leaner Howard would bring more to the side than Smith does in my humble opinion. Just being fitter and leaner isn't going to make much difference to the impact Howard has on our play. God's Gift to Football will still think "Brian first, team second". All it will do is make him even less likely to pass. It won't make him track back and tackle - he'll have to understand his role in a team to do that.Title: Grant Smith Post by: Simon Pieman on Sunday, February 6, 2005, 20:29:14 once holmes leaves i think Howard will get his spot back. maybe Smith could play central midfield if he gets a knew contract?
Title: Grant Smith Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Sunday, February 6, 2005, 20:36:57 yeah he should get a new contract!
Title: Grant Smith Post by: janaage on Monday, February 7, 2005, 10:25:07 Smith had an amazing pre season, scoring 5 goals?!? The has a bad game against Wrexham and is sidelined for months. The man has proved that he can cut it at this level, is that six goals now, a new contract should be offered to him asap.
Title: Grant Smith Post by: Piemonte on Monday, February 7, 2005, 10:27:41 I said he was shit. :oops:
I blindly stand by my point, despite evidence to the contary 8) Title: Grant Smith Post by: janaage on Monday, February 7, 2005, 10:42:27 Sticking to your principles mate!! Do you deny the holocaust ever happened?
Title: Grant Smith Post by: Piemonte on Monday, February 7, 2005, 10:50:17 Yes.
and man has never walked on the moon. 8) Title: Grant Smith Post by: reeves4england on Tuesday, February 8, 2005, 21:27:45 What was the holocaust?! (joke)
Title: Grant Smith Post by: Tails on Tuesday, February 8, 2005, 21:33:24 I've had faith in him for the start of the season. Infact, I mentioned it on thisisstfc and remember I got called a retard...
Quote Yes I know, but a fitter leaner Howard would bring more to the side than Smith does in my humble opinion. Totally agree Title: Grant Smith Post by: reeves4england on Tuesday, February 8, 2005, 21:44:42 I did too. Never got called anything for it though!
Obviously they just don't like you! Title: Grant Smith Post by: janaage on Wednesday, February 9, 2005, 09:25:13 Turbo you retard!!
