Re: Jonothan Smith
I think some folks are forgetting how much Jonathan Smith contributed to Stanley's current status. There were matches in our all-conquering Unibond Premier season when he was a stalwart and vital to our team. Who can forget Droylesden on a Saturday where he had teeth knocked out and other serious injuries yet pleaded to play (and went with the squad) at Whitby the next day! He'll play his heart out for Barrow while he's there - he doesn't know any other way and will be MOTM on a regular basis! The only thing wrong with Smithy is that he's never had an experienced central defender with League experience to aid his development - a problem still very much to the fore nowadays I'm afraid. Some of the comments of the "Oh, he's not good enough for us now type" are an insult to the lad and, in my opinion at least, pompous and undeserved. The club should welcome him back home and do everything to see that his talent develops to its full potential.
