He knew it wouldnt be a walk in the park, but Socceroos left-back Brad Smith never expected hed have a tougher time cracking Bournemouths first XI than Liverpools.Smith transferred to Bournemouth from the Reds in July, full of hope a smaller club would present more opportunities to play regular Premier League football.Yet three months into the season the 22-year-old still hasnt played a single minute in Englands top tier.While Smith was under no illusions it would be a tall task breaking into a well-established squad, he admitted the lack of game time had already left him pondering his club future.Theyve had the same back four for about five years now so its difficult to try and get in there, he said.But Im still young compared to (No.1 left-back) Charlie Daniels, hes 30.Its a patience game.
