    Iphoned Skybets yesterday and asked them how much odds they would give me on Smith to play for Scotlandand to score 20 goals they sent me an email to say they had put these on their web site.Clearly they have been reading my articles because I expected 80-1 for both! They had dimissed L I W and his loyal supporters because they are quoting 4-1 for him to play for Scotland this season so I wont be writing to Strachan now!
    As for him scoring 20 goals a measly 33-1!
    Will some kind soul inquire from other bookies no wonder they are so well off

    Might be worth a punt on the double on the basis that if he scores 20+ he should be in the Scotland team <ok>

    If he scores 2 he should be in the Scotland team.

    Lets face it it could be a great bet the chances of him picked for Scotland as you can see with the odds are more or less a certainty whatever LIW and his merry band think and believe me they ridiculed the idea when I first brought it up in January so yes if we can get say 40-1 for each that's a 160-1 double pay for your next season ticket

    Forgive my confusion, but why would you think that a player who has scored 9 goals in his 62 League 1 outings will score over 20 in 46 Championship games?

    Has he bought Messi's boots or something?

    Because the lad wants to prove that he is the real deal lets put it this TC the manager is so enthralled he let the great Morison go now you wouldn.t do that if you had no confidence in him would you especially to a big club like Millwall

    I still don't see how you think he'll score over 20 though - Lee Croft set up 6 of his goals (all headers in the 6 yard box), but he is a winger - last time I checked, Leeds didn't have one!!

    Makes you wonder why his 2 previous managers only thought he was good for the bench!!

    You're forgetting we have the amazing Ryan Hall... <laugh>

    I don't think Smith will score much over double figures personally, but it'll still be more than Morison!

    Morison will score at least 15 <ok>

    His 2 previous seasons with us he got 23(L1) & 17(Championship) and our squad was much weaker then <ok>

    West Brom paid £1.5M for him then sold him to Preston for £1.35M who sold him to Southamton for an "undisclosed fee" thought to be over £1M.
