He played more than half a season really. Warburton was here for almost a year and he played pretty much all of that time from when Henderson got injured. Thing is Stojkovic and Henderson were terrible keepers and always prone to a howler and whilst Smith still let in plenty of goals he didn't look like an obvious liability so looked better compared to those (who probably without the errors were better keepers - especially VS who was a full international for a long time). Though neither Montanier nor Warburton seemed to care about defence so it's difficult to say if a keeper with a better record would have done better there however when he's played since (e.g. to the end of the Lamouchi season) he's always looked like conceding a fair few.

It didn't seem coincidence that Karanka came in and immediately replaced him (albeit with someone not much better) and that MW had tried to do the same pre-season with Adam Federici who got injured before playing for us.

I don't dislike Smith, I don't think he's ever been a bad influence or a bad pro, and has always done his best for us, just that he isn't a very good keeper.
Stojkovic was hilarious.

Smith did well considering he was thrown into a shit team at times, always did his best.

Now fourth choice. Won't have to worry about actually playing any games. A relief for everyone I suppose.

Nothing to do with Smith but that announcement was awful.
League One ready.

Feel for Smith, going to play second fiddle to Vaclik...

A strange move? Maybe not as he has long seemed content with bench warming at best. He'd have probably learnt his craft more having around Nava here.

If he had to move I would have liked to see him go lower and get more game time.

Their reaction is going to be so so funny if both Vaclik & Smith turn out crap for them and seal their relegation.

Marinakis has basically torched their entire club :ROFLMAO:

Cheers for keeping us in three Championship smudge, who knows where we would be without that save.

Not many players over the last decade or so leave here with any sort of pride in tact, so there's that too.

No bad words, hope he finds a club where he can be a first team regular. Welcome back at the CG anytime for me.

Hope he finds a club to last him till the end of his career. He'll never be a millionaire but he should make enough to set him up in retirement.
