I'm not sure Howarth is a "damn goos player". Admittedly he does provide excellent cover, (much better than the cover we have in other positions) but he doesn't have the required ability to perform consistently in the first 11 of what will hopefully be a top 5 conference team next season. As good as he was at bournemouth, he's also had exasperating lapses, eg morecambe away on 1 jan.

I think Smithy is a certainty to go this summer. Whilst it'll be sad to see one of our best players over the past few seasons leaving the club, we're at a higher level now & by leaving him out so regularly, JC must have realised that Smithy just isn't up to it.
