That’s why Millwall like Matt smith he’s purely a lump it up there type of player a very good header of the ball but I could run faster than him and im 50 well maybe not
Sadly, as it seems to have turned out, retaining Matt Smith would have been cheaper than bringing in two others on a higher salary.....
say what you want about Matt Smith guys but IMO he was a good player always creating havoc and i think scored a decent amount of goals was just a good egg in general i was very sad when i found out we were letting him go
yes you could only play one way with him to play upto his strengths but sometimes our current crop need that 2nd plan as our pretty football as seen yesterday doesnt always get the right results
yes he wasnt the most mobile but head to head against Dykes with all the pluses and minuses i would take Matt Smith ahead of Dykes on the pure fact that sometimes especially in the air Matt Smith was unplayable at times and was always a worry for the oppos defenders
i stay true to my words sometimes you dont even notice Dykes on the pitch that couldnt be said about Matt Smith say what you like
all round as an athlete yes i agree Dykes was prob the better footballer all round but Matt Smith was a different caliber in Ariel duels and Dykes at best is average in all departments
Interesting debate. I liked Matt Smith a lot and felt he was underrated. We did tend to lump the ball forward in his general direction too much which wasn't too clever. He needed proper crosses.
