Grant Smith - Signed last Summer as one of BT's magnificent 7, Smith was utterly awful. A left footer who preferred to play in central midfield he was immediately placed in left midfield because we lacked anyone else to play there. He was shockingly unfit and slow, couldn't tackle and neither did he track back. Oh the beauty of a decent, long contract to fall back on. Johnson soon shipped him off on loan at the first opportunity and he ended the season at Walsall. He actually received some good reports from his time with the Saddlers and scored a few goals including a brace at Tranmere and it was looking likely that they would have signed him permanently had they not suffered relegation. Smith gained the lowest, and by some margin, average rating of any player last season. Johnson has placed him on the transfer list. Ave rating 4.50 4.50 is the lowest rating in the squad Title: city rate grant smith Post by: STFC Village on Friday, May 26, 2006, 09:30:21 From the thread title, i thought you meant that Brizzle thought he was good :?

Thing is I've always thought smith was better than heywood. Heywood seems to be doing okay there.

Heywood seems to be doing okay there. hate it when people say that, how can u compare Smith and Heywood, ones a defender and ones a midfielder Title: city rate grant smith Post by: Piemonte on Friday, May 26, 2006, 15:51:47 Heywood was underrated by many Swindon fans.
He was slow, but won everything in the air and made few errors. I'd take him over Ifool every time.

We have had skillfull defenders, but heywood was not one of them. He used to hoof it! Smith had a bit of composure and skill and was a good controller imo. Title: city rate grant smith Post by: SwindonTownFC on Friday, May 26, 2006, 16:14:49 of course it matters, play Smith and Heywood centre back and you would say Heywood is better, play them both left midfield and you would say Smith is better
Title: city rate grant smith Post by: Sade on Friday, May 26, 2006, 16:17:04 Obviously I know that. Errrr I know what I mean. I just never thought heywood was anything special, quite a dull player.
Title: city rate grant smith Post by: janaage on Tuesday, May 30, 2006, 10:34:26 HE'S A TRADITIONAL CENTRE HALF!!!! What do you expect Matty H to play like? Pelé? Solid as a rock, he's fallen out of favour at AG, I'd have him back if he were available!

He'd be ace in L2 Title: city rate grant smith Post by: Spencer_White on Tuesday, May 30, 2006, 16:24:47 I think he regained some focus at City. He was good for us once, for about a year after he signed. Then got steadily worse after that, descended into mediocrity. Hes OK, no better.

I Certainly wouldn't want Heywood back but Smith definately. Title: city rate grant smith Post by: Spencer_White on Tuesday, May 30, 2006, 16:56:55 sorry Heywood.
