Smith is one of the most frustrating players I have watched play for us.
When he does score - for the remainder of that match, he's a different player. He goes up 2 or 3 levels. An example of this was at Burton, when he scored early doors, then produced a superb performance thereafter.
Have we had more of a 'confidence player' before? I cant think of one...
If I recall correctly, the Macclesfield fans said the same when we signed him. So its not just at our gaff he seemingly has this issue. Its purely in his head...obviously KC and our coaching staff haven't been able to convince him that he's actually a very decent player; the same can be said at his previous club.
At some point in his career, it might just click for him. But Id say that after 18 months, its now time for someone else to take that mission on. Its a shame and I wish him the very best assuming he does leave.
Hypnosis is the key my friend!
Now Harry, look me in the eye, not around the eyes, directly in the eye.
Harry, you are a good player. Harry, you are a fantastic player. Harry, you are not a donkey.
Harry, now I am going to click my finger...
