I've said this before, but I seem to be in the minority in rating Smith as a footballer. He's actually very decent with his feet, but his physique means he just gets the ball lumped up to him and he's actually not that good with his head (in open play I mean, his height still makes him a threat at set pieces).
This is where we miss Oliver - he was never about scoring goals, he was all about winning aerial balls with his head or his chest and controlling it well enough to bring others into play.
Smith is expected to do that role now and he's not very good at it. That doesn't make him a bad player, it just doesn't suit his style of play.
In a footballing side where he gets the ball into his feet I think he could do very well.
