Smith came back to something resembling full health about halfway through the season, and immediately became a super-sub. His one start, the game against the Seattle Sounders, was probably his worst of the season as his fitness seemed to falter a bit. Fortunately, his ability as a super-sub worked out well enough. He had two goals in that role, but never seemed to get back to 100% health. Oscar Pareja got some flak for never giving him any starts during the season considering that small sample size of goals.
"No Jamie, you can't start. Stay in the Supersub box."
