Tommy Smith

[Diego]

Love this man. Class today, he gets better and better. Solid is his middle name.

 

[gizasqueezemister]

Very very tidy player

 

[Angelofayresome]

Love him best player Boro have signed in recent years solid 8 out 10 player never let's you down does the hard graft dirty work for the team give him a good 2 year contract to keep him here.

 

[Morton94]

What a signing he's been, best free transfer since Grant

 

[Jimmy_Salmon]

Lost count of the number of overlaps he made today. Put in a great cross we should’ve scored from. Vastly underrated.

 

[Caesium137]

Had another solid game, him and Forss are getting a good understanding.

Hopefully we've offered him something.

 

[parmoboy]

He dealt with Sarr extremely well. I really appreciated his overlapping runs down the right, especially during the 1st half.

I was going to do a 'Tommy Smith appreciation' post. So thanks for this.

I would say he's one of the most underrated players in Boro's squad. Although I'd argue his stock and praise is rising weekly. He's has been outstanding for weeks. Just a proper depandable 'pro' who Carrick clearly rates.

He's solid in defence and very under rated going forward. A few times today he was in so much space yet not found with a simple ball.

I'm probably in the minority and call me 'old fashioned' yet I prefer a RB who can defend. It's not all about getting forward Jones or TAA style.

 

[Glover_elbow]

There were some unsung heroes today smith who gets better and better, howson who I thought that had his best performance of the season and paddy who just slotted in at centre back effortlessly.

 

[Kenna]

Man of the match today for me . Excellent

 

[Scrug]

We need a chant for him.

 

[festa5]

One of the few things Wilder was right about, we did need more leaders.

I think Smith and Lenihen have made a difference on that point alone.

And neither cost a penny in terms of a fee.

While we're at if, we could do with 'mirror image' of Smith at left back.

Reminds me of Luke Young a little bit, in that he’s very consistent, always seems to be a 7/10. Works very well with Forss on the right.

Hope not.... We will sell him and spend millions and 4-5 years trying to find 'as good' or better

 

[Teesste]

What a great signing he’s been.. I thought he was going to be this years Lee Peltier or the other decidedly average fullback we had last year whose name escapes me!

A quality player and a leader on the pitch too

Or worse, get Justin Hoyte on the cheap and by stuck with him for what felt like 4-5 years

I often wonder how good some of those ‘rubbish’ players of bygone days would look in this team.. especially those from our Premier League years.

To be fair Hoyte would probably still be a liability!

 

[Quicksilvera]

He’s excellent. He’s that experienced steady Eddy that you need if you are going to get anywhere.
