Unbelievable yesterday.

Spoke to a certain person high above yesterday. Apparently still interest in him- Plymouth and fleetwood have made approaches. Richie wants smith to stay think that’s evident but smith wants to play. I’d say if anyone was going to go it’s him. Think it’ll be down to the final day this one

Just found out bids of 100k from Gillingham and Walsall have been rejected for Smith. Apparently they were before the Portugal trip

Coleman to Bromley (loan) rumoured too.

Spoke with someone tonight and what I was told is:

Drinan out for 12 weeks best case back in 8

Smith may make the squad for the first game (probably not ready to start)

Smyth will be back for Pompey.

Smith - 7. Won everything.

Were you watching the same match?

More like we’re you? Smith did win 99% today. Arguably one of the better players today.

Vigs 7. Same as usual, one great save, no chance with the goal, good distribution, nowt else to do. Thompson 6. Not a RB, done ok. Mitchell 6. Switched off for the goal, docked a point for that. Beckles 6. Missed a sitter before they scored, gave away a silly free kick for their goal, otherwise muc...

Confidence looks absolutely shot to pieces along with drinan.

Can’t be arsed to post much, that was disgusting. No one played well today. We were lost without Beckles at the back. Archibald is not and never will be a defender and was at fault for the first. Smith didn’t win a thing against their centre halves today. Kemp is too lightweight. But the biggest cr...

Starting to become very frustrating watching us. Even before they scored I thought that nobody deserved more than a 6 because we were clearly far superior but just don’t seem to have the belief to put teams away. We aren’t going to get in the play offs unless we start winning these type of games. R...

89 minutes of the game we were much the better team

1st and 90th we concede.

Solid.

Anyone notice after smiths injury a good 4/5 times he seemed to be walking/jogging then what seemed like his knee would give way? Noticed it quite a bit. He was certainly struggling most of that second half but obviously didn’t want to come off- hopefully now the adrenaline has gone there isn’t anyt...

I’m sure like I said we all read games differently.
As long as he keeps scoring then that will do me

Leyton orient Twitter. Smith scored a rating of 9.03 and was in league two TOTW (along with hector and James) he was also in the EFL TOTW. Won 19 aerial Duels and they confirmed 24 aerial duels won on Tuesday. Personally thought the last 3 games he has won the majority but think his movement can imp...
