Hearts are rampant Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) Played well today. Steady and reliable who likely would have been a help to the likes of Neilson today experience wise. I’m sure he’s also a great guy in the dressing room generally eg getting the boys back up for it today after midweek. He was cramping up a bit after he blazed a shot over late on on Thursday night so was a wee bit surprised to see him play full 90 again today.

boag1874 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 When all’s said & done I reckon he’ll go down as a cult hero in Gorgie, one of those players we’ll speak about for years to come. Stuck with us through some absolutely garbage seasons & always been a standout. Nobody in our team deserves this Euro run more & I would kill to see him lifting a trophy with us.

stuart500 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Smith was tremendous. Still a great servant to the club Would also give full credit to Andy Halliday for his performance.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I think last season he wasn't 100% fit with his back not being right and I thought he might have to move down a level but this season he is proving me wrong.

RS86 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Plenty would have happily seen him leave in the summer and there were suggestions he is past it. He's looking sharp to me. Having Atkinson available to rotate our RB throughout the season should hopefully allow us to keep him fresh and injury free and performing at his best.

Bull's-eye Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 He's got better with age, can't give Robbie and his staff credit, that's not how JKB works. Very clever game today, knows when to go forward and knows when to defend. Thoroughly enjoy watching him plying his trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyCant Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I spoke to him a few weeks ago (he lives local) His back injury is still there. It’s never getting fully better until he stops playing altogether. I reckon he’ll retire at the end of this season (my opinion not his words mind you) but the guy just soldiers on and plays through it. We’ll really miss him when he does hang the boots up.
