If Simmo can work Majick and Trickery on Smith then I think he'll be alright.
Smith knows where the net is. In the matches I've seen him play he works very hard with little end product. Perhaps Simmo can tighten his game and encourage him to still work at players whilst being more confident with the ball and using his nouse to get that shot off on target, instead of delivering a cannonball to row 30 of the Town End.
If that happens, hopefully he's either useful enough to challenge for a spot or someone will entertain an interest.
Another rabbit out of the hat please Paul 'Daniels' Simpson!

Scoring goals in the Irish pub league does not constitute being a half decent striker. If Simmo can get him off our wage bill then we'll all be happy. If Simon what's his face decides to take him off our hands better still. If he goes back to being a Guiness swilling pub league player we'll be happy, if he gets run over by the 125 bus... OOOPS. That's taking it too far, sorry.

Re: Bad News..................................
Given the number of starts he's had it's not surprising he appears to have the quality of a bean bag boot boy.
However, he deserves his chance and given that we've been paying for him whilst injured for so long, he owes the club too.
He plays in the reserves tonight and he'll no doubt have a couple more of those before playing again in the white shirt. Either way, its a chance to confirm his ability or lack of it.

Re: Bad News..................................
Unfortunately for Andy Smith, he'll come back to fitness at a time when the competition for striker positions is becoming pretty hard: Paddy seems to be on form, Mellor's debut is approaching and Ormerod will be back in the reckoning soon, too. If Smith would have been fit to play at the beginning of the season, he would quite surely have got his chance, but now it will be very hard.
I predict Smith will be loaned out somewhere soon: that will be the best move for all parties involved. We really need to decrease our wage bill. Maybe a 2nd loan spell at Stockport who are 2nd bottom in the Football League at the moment. 😕 I remember Smith got some very good reports when he was at Stockport... until he got inured soon.

Re: Bad News..................................
we just dont know what will happen, I would like to see him do well but I agree though with the competition aspect.
In the comming weeks we have so many strikers approaching full fitness that barring him seriously taking the bull by the horns and scoring for fun in the reserves, I cant see him making the bench.
I think that Dichio desperatly needs to score soon, all the great performances in the world wont keep him in the team without producing the goods now, i must admit out strike force if it keeps performing is looking rather promising.

I still think DD is better away from home, possibly with Agy. At home, it's a mouth watering prospect with a Mellor/Nugent combo!
well, thats if Mellor produces the goods.

Re: Bad News..................................
It is good that we are in a position where Mellor can settle in, we have enough strikers that it wont be a baptism of fire for him, epecially after his injury worries.
Its going to be an interesting few weeks, hope fully with a few inspirational returns!

I'd be laughing with you - things can only get better for the lad - Craig Brown bought him - most of his signings have been good so there must be something there - I spoke to him just before Paul Simpson arrived and told me he would giving his best shot when his injuries clear up - he was very polite and friendly - good luck to him.DezzieRichardson said:
