I love Tommy Smith ❤️

its a position we have struggled with the last couple of years when playing 4 at the back .... Tommy is the best is recent times. Must be great to have a strong personality on the pitch ... seems to suffer from requiring a 2 minute sit down at regular high pressure times/
 
I think we've lacked 'game management' type players through the squad for a while.

You need it sometimes, the number of bookings that Dijksteel gets is way too low for a champo fullback.

Yes, it’s strange how Tommy seems to get minor injuries at an important part of the game? ;)
 
He’s solid and very disciplined. It’s exactly what we need with Giles on the other side bombing forward at will.

Lenihan is absolutely unreal.

Must beat Bolt’s 100m record when we score because he’s always on the scene to celebrate faster than anyone else

He's a hell of a shouter when defending as well. That's the big difference between him and McNair and it was said before he signed that not many of our players (even Howson) would belt out instructions.

And about Smith:

At 15 minutes I feared he wasn't going to last the 90. But once he got into his stride he was the normal composed version. Professional.
 
He’s a proper professional footballer. Just does his job pretty much every game. The coaches will love him for it.

Exactly that. He was awful to start the game his decision making was crazy, but huge part of the galvanised rest of the game. What I thought, was that chub and forss lead the game mid first half and it was a knock on effect, mcgree started controlling everything, archer was really direct and split their defence. Our defence and midfield were still shaky but that knock on effect turned us into what we were second half. Honestly when we got going it was mesmerising football, our movement was so fluid!!!!
