The same can be said for Steve and having seen what they can do they had to be near the top of my shopping list when Accrington decided to release them.
They are experienced and I really rate them at this level. They have both been ther, sen it and done it. What they learned in winning the title with Accrington will serve us well over the next two or three years."

They both played the first half against Darlington.
Flickers but in some good corners and Smithy missed the target on several occasions with cracking headers.

I assume you were the chap wandering round in a red, Nike Stanley shirt with Oswaldthwistle Mills on 'front?
Smith did very well for us last season and we were suprised but happy to get him. Good talker and strong in the air and tackle, not slow for a big lad either.
Flitcroft we're not so sure on. He lacks pace and doesn't seem to get involved-I actually thought his set pieces and passing was poor. Either underhit or overhit but football is all about opinions isn't it.
I suppose you'll all have a chance to give them a proper send off this weekend, may Barrow win!
