Spot on! Irrespective of anyone's opinion, Smithy played Conference football just last season and, in the last game particularly, to good effect. It would be illogical to think that some three months later he isn't up to it any longer. I only hope the lad doesn't read the message board himself or he might decide to stay with the somewhat less than mighty Barrow where (unbelievably) he seems to be much appreciated by their supporters as a Conference level player dropped from heaven in their midst.
