Smith scored on his home debut, the clincher in the 2-1 August Bank Holiday victory over Cambridge United, before going on to impress the Southend supporters with his dimuntive midfield displays, with the best undoubtedly coming in the magnificent comeback at Bury where Smith helped turn the game on it's head as United turned a 0-1 half time deficit into a superb 3-1 victory.
