Leo Smith
Has he got a serious injury or illness ? Can't work it out how someone last season who was a so called hot prospect hasn't featured at all. If not thought good enough for our first team if he wasn't ill or injured why was he not loaned out to further his progress? Still has another year on his contract I think. |

Re: Leo Smith
Was given some minutes early in the season and was awful.
Can only assume he's putting similar performances in on the training ground and friendlies. If he was good enough, he'd be playing. Sadly destined for the LOW after all the hype. |

Re: Leo Smith
I think Smith fell foul of Keate's failure to be decisive. Keates thought Smith had a future and was probably disappointed at his pre-season efforts, but hoped he could play cameos from the left. He occasionally made the bench and played rubbish in the Trophy.
I think Keates could not rid himself of the idea he might be ready this season. That opinion has cost Smith a season at a lower level, seeing if he has the drive to succeed. To succeed he needs to show he can tackle and pass. His ball skills are good enough, but without the other two attributes he won't make it. |

Re: Leo Smith
lack of reserve team didnt help his cause as only training and the odd friendly game being only chance he had to impress. the early games and trophy appearance didnt shine at all in those matches. if he wasnt on 2yr deal would of let him go this time.

Re: Leo Smith
Many thought Leo might make the breakthrough to the first team this year, but sadly it was not to be. The little I've seen of him this season makes me think he has regressed if anything.
He joins a lengthening list of young players who make no improvement whatsoever while they're here and are then released to the LoW or beyond. |
