Smith added a further two goals to his tally during November, first scoring in our home defeat against Watford and then on the final game of the month at Hull, to make sure of the points in our 2-0 win.
The in-form forward topped the poll with 25% of the fans’ vote, pipping Shea Charles (15%) and Di’Shon Bernard (14%) to land this month’s trophy.
“I don’t think the fans realise how much it actually helps,” he said afterwards. “It is that cliché of the 12th man, but it takes something like that from us to get them going. Once we provided that spark they were unbelievable with the backing they gave us – and I think another ten minutes and we would have nicked it.
It’s not been the easiest start to life at Hillsborough for the experienced forward as he spent time coming back from injury, but he’s now got three goals in his last four matches and is very much finding his feet.
