Miss ya big boy.
He was not a stud but I think he was one of those players who did not help himself in terms of how he came across and hence was probably underrated over the course of his time with us.
To be honest though all of this is just a reaction to how godawful Ogbuehi is right now. When benching him for Eric Winston seems a vaguely sensible option then you know you're in trouble.
I had no problem getting rid of Smith based on the hoopla around how good Ogbuehi was looking....unfortunately Ogbuehi is coming across like a Paul Alexander vanity project who seduced him with his 'quick feet' and athleticism. The fact he seems to have no football strength and sand in his pants seems to have been overlooked.
