We're just one more Smith away from an entry in the upper class twit of the year competition.

According to whoscored.com, he was Northampton Towns best player last season.

Agreed, he looks very useful from these clips.
One wonders why Northampton are letting him go, but regardless, I trust someone of Kenny Jacketts experience that he’s made a good choice and that we can improve him with the right coaching.

Yes, signed for an undisclosed fee (in line with league rules about not disclosing fees).

He's a bit of a donkey, if memory serves, but we needed a big lump and we've got one. I can't imagine he'll start every game. I hope we're going to be a little easier on the eye than that.

I assume we haven't paid much but offered a good sell on clause, and promotion payment

We weren’t very easy on the eye last year when DJ was too poor on the ball to hold it up and too short to win anything in the air. Don’t really care how attractively we play as long as there’s some sort of plan that’s better than ‘hope Wilko does something or the oppo misplace a backpass for DJ’.

Looks a decent signing at L2 level and fills a hole - Smith and Smyth up front will also make life easier for Dulcet Dave!

Easier on the eye like when we were scrapping our way to the National League title?
