Greek star Tassos Venetis has been offered a word of consolation from the manager after his omission from the Greek Under 21 squad.
Smith said, "Tassos has not been playing first team football and that affects his international situation but some of his performances in the second string games have been superb recently and fans will notice a difference when the time is right for the step up again. I have told him he will return to his international set-up before long."
