Title: Grant Smith's trial.. Post by: janaage on Tuesday, February 27, 2007, 15:02:15 ...At the home of the Hi-bees, Easter Road, extended by a week. John Collins reckons GS has a pretty decent left foot and gave him another 7 days to impress.
Don't do it John!!! source : Sunday Mail Title: Grant Smith's trial.. Post by: fatbury on Tuesday, February 27, 2007, 15:03:52 Id welcome him back tomorrow- never really appreciated by King until it was too late
Title: Grant Smith's trial.. Post by: janaage on Tuesday, February 27, 2007, 15:05:48 I was told that GS was "fucking useless" in training. Which is why his first team opportunities were so few and far between.

I would still render your source as accurate! Title: Grant Smith's trial.. Post by: fatbury on Tuesday, February 27, 2007, 15:10:55 he wasnt useless on the pitch tho .. surely thats what counts
Title: Grant Smith's trial.. Post by: janaage on Tuesday, February 27, 2007, 15:12:59 he was last time couple of times he played at the CG!!

You can't expect to put in minimal effort in training and expect to play on Saturday, surely? at League 1 and 2 level you can't that's for sure. Title: Grant Smith's trial.. Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Tuesday, February 27, 2007, 15:16:58 I rated Smith. We could certainly do with a few of his goals from midfield right now that's for sure.
What does it matter if a player is crap in training as long as he is doing the business on the pitch??? :shock: Title: Grant Smith's trial..

What does it matter if a player is crap in training as long as he is doing the business on the pitch??? :shock: Nothing in theory. But the other players would take offence by this attitude and would therefore create a dressing room rift = Unnecessary hassle. :) Title: Grant Smith's trial.. Post by: janaage on Tuesday, February 27, 2007, 15:29:39 He was alright, good I thought, but he was never "that" good to be shit in training and waltz into the first team. A player like Parkin could afford that liability, but not a "worker" like Smith.
Title: Grant Smith's trial.. Post by: millom red on Tuesday, February 27, 2007, 16:07:26 If he was still a town player now, 'Grunt' Smith would be in his element in the blood and thunder that is league 2 football. I suspect he would have spent most of his time on the sidelines through suspension tho.....

Title: Grant Smith's trial.. Post by: sonic youth on Tuesday, February 27, 2007, 17:01:35 I hope Daddy's Boy feels like a cunt for leaving us.
Title: Grant Smith's trial.. Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Tuesday, February 27, 2007, 17:24:09 Quote from: "sonic youth" I hope Daddy's Boy feels like a cunt for leaving us. Yes. I expect he does. Right now he's probably saying to himself, "Oooooh, I feel such a cunt for leaving Swindon, that was the biggest mistake of my life" 8) Title: Grant Smith's trial.. Post by: Power to people on Tuesday, February 27, 2007, 17:25:20 I also heard he was not a good trainer, but he done well most of the time for us and was able to put some good crosses in the box and score from midfield.
Hmm maybe someone should tip Sturrock off that Smith maybe a decent loan signing, and of course he would have something to prove here after the way he left. Title: Grant Smith's trial.. Post by: sonic youth on Tuesday, February 27, 2007, 17:26:47 We can only hope.
Seriously though, STFC's the only club where he's settled(ish) and played regular first team football for a season and been in good form. He's had 12 clubs in 9 seasons. Title: Grant Smith's trial.. Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Tuesday, February 27, 2007, 17:32:59 It would be a very good move to give him a deal until the end of the season.
FACT! Title: Grant Smith's trial.. Post by: Power to people on Tuesday, February 27, 2007, 17:34:58 He would be good as he can play in the centre and wide on the left, I think he had some of his better games in the middle
Anyone know Sturrocks email address ? Title: Grant Smith's trial.. Post by: Piemonte on Tuesday, February 27, 2007, 18:14:43 Yeah he was super great as a left winger. plenty of pace and skill.

No contest, ooh to, ooh to be, ooh to be a, Hi-bee!! Title: Grant Smith's trial.. Post by: DV on Tuesday, February 27, 2007, 18:47:41 didnt sturrock loan him at plymouth once? or did I make that up?

He'd certainly piled on the pounds last season. Certainly played better in the middle than he ever did on the left, in part thanks to Duke who seemed to mop up when Smith went roaming forward.

Ha ha, that is the funniest post I have read for ages! There are 2 chanced of the Hobos winning the Scottish Cup, none and Fuckall. They couldn't even sell their allocation for the biggest derby in recent years the semi final last year against Hearts, was the best walk away from a football ground I have had in a few years getting to laugh at the great unwashed that had stayed until the end! 104 years and counting Jan! |
