Watched them on Boxing Day, lively but little end result sadly, pretty much as I recall his time with us.

Always rated him, he had big boots to fill once we last Smith and he didn’t really disappoint. As mentioned not the best player to wear the quarters but always gave 100% percent and offered us plenty of pace down the wing, shame injuries got the better of him. Wish him all the luck he deserves with manse Talking of Smith, what happened to him, is he still playing in Scotland? Thought I’d seen something on the BBC the other week about playing for hearts

Smith still at Hearts been there 5 years It’s a shame he’s playing SPL when he’s clearly good enough to play conference south football. A sorry state of affairs to see how low he’s sunk.

He did ok for us didn’t he. Played 5 more or less successful seasons despite having injury problems and when he played well we always looked a better team with him there. He had shortcomings and his crossing could be inconsistent but I’ll remember him haring up the wing, doing several for pace and putting us on the front foot. I guess if he had been better he wouldn’t have done 5 years with us! Good luck to him. UTG! Hate to say it but I don't think it's a coincendence he struggled for game time when the snake left. The snake used to link up well with him, put the ball out wide, Leads would run it down the wing, beat his man and then try and get a ball across. Yes his crossing wasn't the best but if you get in those positions then you have more chances. Plus you have Wan-Bissaka playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world and he can't cross a ball either! Leads wasn't the best defensively. His one asset was his pace but it was a big asset to have. He used to keep getting hamstring injuries if I remember rightly though? Didn't GC make some comments about Leads league career being over due to injuries when he released him, before he then joined Newport?
