    Only 20 starts, and considering Oldham have been crap for that time his tally's pretty good, you can only score the chances you get.

    But only 2 years under his belt as a pro, definitely a late bloomer.

    So he wasn't good enough to get in the starting line up of a club that finished 19 in L1?

    I would wager that he will not be the next Ian Wright

    Only 20 starts for a team that by your own admission were crap <laugh>
    So he wasnt even a regular in a **** league 1 team <yikes> but fair play Simon you somehow managed to make that sound like it was a possitive <laugh>

    "At six foot six, Matt brings added height to the squad.
    "It's a major asset, but it doesn't mean to say we'll be smashing long balls in," said the boss.
    "He can take it in, hold it up, you saw his goal against Everton from a set-play. His movement is good. He's a work in progress, but he's not an 18-year-old work in progress. He's done well in games and we feel he is a good asset.""

    Scored4 goals in 3 games against premiership opposition just think what he can do with 20+ fans supporting him every week could be the buy of the decade

    But it was a nice bench <ok><laugh><ok>
    Lots of room for quality players to sit on, infact im thinking of sending BM a letter to ask him to buy the bench so that Smith wont lose his bonded partnership he made with it last season <ok>
