Smith call for calm

Smith is quoted as saying "We have done well lately against top sides, Arsenal, Liverpool and Leeds without getting a lot but we have to step up another level. We haven't shown signs of nerves and have been steady over the last few league games. Everyone will look at the situation that sees us playing many of the teams below or around us in the next few weeks and that should give us the incentive.

"The points are so close between the 10 bottom clubs, so everyone is striving for the same thing."

"The rest of us just have to work very hard to gain points in each game we play and that's how I've always looked at it from our position and will continue to do so."
