...Saw this on QPR rivals site:
Smith was John Gregory's first signing last season when QPR were bottom of the Championship and now a year on he finds himself staring up at the other 23 teams again after turning down the chance to return to W12 in favour of a loan move to Norwich.
Smith told Norwich's Pink 'Un sports paper: "I'm meant to be going back at Christmas because of the African Nations Cup, but who knows what will happen?"
"I think Norwich is a great club and it's a big club. You get 24,000 fans every week and you can't ask for more than running out in front of that every week. I would like to stay longer, but we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
"They are great loyal fans and we need to repay them by winning games, because that's what they need. I think the manager will be looking to bring in more players. He's seen what he's got at the club now and it's down to him what he does with it. Either bring new players in or change things around with the players at the club.
"I was in the same situation last year when I was with QPR and hopefully we can get out of it as soon as possible because with the players we've got at this club we don't deserve to be where we are.
"But it's down to what we do when we cross that white line and we all know that we need to improve that.
"QPR were in the bottom three towards the end of the season and they tried to get out of it and eventually they did. Hopefully we can correct it before Christmas and get on a good run and push ourselves up the table.
"I think a win will just do it really. We've been saying if we can get a win under our belts we can build on it from there. But it's got to come soon because we want it so badly."
