LondonBristolian Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Thing is, even irrespective of anything @phantom knows, Korey was out for up to 6 months - which would take us to around mid-February. It's then going to take him a good month to get back up to speed and I think, due to the way Korey plays being quite all-action, he's nowhere near his best when he isn't fully fit. Even when he is back, I think it will take a while until he is back to his best. I'd be pleasantly surprised if he is fit, in-form and playing regularly by the end of the season.

I spoke to Korey October time and he said he'd be back playing end of Dec/early January. He was already in the gym back in October so clearly something has happened to cause a delay in his return.

Taz Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 If he does play again this season, it will probably be from the bench, 5-10 minutes a game to get a bit of sharpness back. Personally I don't expect him to be back this season at all. Unfortunately I think we need to plan for a future without Smith, as every injury he gets now, seems to be worse than the last one. A fully fit Korey Smith is one of the first names on the teamsheet. I do wonder though, if we have seen the last of Korey Smith as a first team regular. A small part of me wonders if we will see him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spoke to him around November (my dad’s bigger than yours ), and he wasn’t load bearing at that point. He was limping massively around the BCTV commentary position. We have however seen him sprinting against Walsh on twitter (Xmas time?), which was better than I expected.

I’d rather not rush him back in any way. Imagine getting a fully fit Korey smith back in time for the final run in, if we are still challenging..! What a boost that would be..!

Gimme Shelton Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Pack can't tackle like Smith,Smith can't pass like Pack. Apart from the fact that they're both midfielders they're different players doing different jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfc01 Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Smith will struggle to get into the team when fit. I can't see that he brings anything better than two or three in his position. Sell on in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
