Cherries: Crazy January for loan star Smith
Cherries loan star Adam Smith looked back on a hectic January and admitted: It was certainly an experience.[LNB] Defender Smith extended his stay from Tottenham just days before Eddie Howe the man who had signed him left for Burnley.[LNB] The 19-year-old has missed just one league game since arriving at Dean Court on a youth loan arrangement at the end of September.[LNB] Cultured right-back Smith has also been instrumental as Cherries have soared to the top of the League One current form table.[LNB] Smith has played his part as five wins and a draw from seven games since the turn of the year have established Cherries as genuine promotion contenders.[LNB] I've played almost every game since I've been here and it's been great, said Smith. There is nothing better than playing and we have maintained our form since Eddie left.[LNB] A change of manager doesn't affect me as much as the other players but it can make things a little uncertain. If somebody new comes in and they don't like you, you could be out of the team.[LNB] We were a bit unsure as to what was going to happen but it was great when Bradders was appointed because he knows everybody. He knows what I can do and has stuck by me.[LNB] Smith will be hoping to help Cherries continue their fruitful start to 2011 when they host Swindon tonight, bidding to chalk up a second league double inside four days.[LNB] We're on a good run and the boys are confident so it should be a good game, added Smith. There is nothing between the teams in this division so we need to approach every game in the same way.[LNB]
