Really liked his debut, clearly has a lot of confidence in his ability and looked like he was enjoying himself.

I'm certainly curious to see how Smith and Towler compare. Two young pros from Championship teams. If like to think there is a chance of getting Smith back next season if he's good enough.


First impressions are that the centre back played at full back much better than the other centre back we had on loan.

I agree. I though AS had a slightly nervous start for the first 10 mins, which was understandable, but grew into the game. By the second half he was full of confidence and IMO a very good debut.

I have to be honest, I don’t recall any obvious nervousness from the lad, and I thought he started the game confidently with some excellent touches and did a very good job of getting Pearson out of a pickle after he’d dallied on the ball.

Looks a good prospect to me.

The defence was very shaky at the start with 2 debutants playing but the 3 times they got through in the first few minutes had nothing to do with Smith.

Maybe nervous wasn't the right word, more like feeling his feet with a set of new players . I don't know what experience he had at Hull but even a 4,500 crowd can be a tad daunting for a lad who may only have played in reserve games with just 3 or 4 hundred there. He certainly handled himself well and think he will be a great asset for the second half of our season.

He was at Salford first  half of the season, so yeah, not used to playing in front of many fans.  

As for Amos; in the first half he played a great long ball down the wing that put someone in behind their defence and I thought ooh, that's promising. He made several more decisive and crisp passes as the game went on. Impressive debut seeing as he hasn't had a lot of game time. Could be an astute signing, but we'll have to see how he performs when we play a team that exerts more pressure.

I think I saw him kicking a ball about at half time with the subs. Not certain, but it looked like him.

Amos fired a few fast passes forward - and with both feet, which was encouraging. Looked weaker in the air than Crookes, but a bit quicker. You can't have everything in a 5th level defender so that's fair enough. I think Crookes will have a fight on his hands to get his place back.
