ADIE Smith was shocked by his bizarre own goal in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Brighton but the week's off-field action was also a surprise.

Smith admitted he had not expected the shock transfer-listing of six more players last week.

But the midfield man, who himself has been a surprise package with six goals this season, stressed: "That's football."

He said: "The gaffer has not been happy with the way we are playing.

"With him putting a few players on the list, the changing room is not that bright at the moment.

"A few players are shocked but it's football and you have got to expect that. You're not going to argue with the gaffer, whether you stay or go.

"The luck is just not going for us at the moment but we are still going to battle, compete for our places and hopefully get back up the league again."

Smith, 27, felt Danny Cullip's challenge on John Durnin should have been a penalty - and that could have been an equaliser for Harriers.

He said: "I thought we played very well throughout the game. We competed, challenged and had our chances.

"We've also had a few penalty decisions turned down. The challenge on Fozzie (Ian Foster) was 50-50 but John Durnin's was a definite penalty. He just bundled him over.

"Craig Hinton probably pulled their player a little bit but he's just fallen down and he's got a penalty for it. You expect players like that to do that."

Smith's seventh goal of the season unfortunately found the wrong net - but it has to go down as one of the strangest over the weekend.

He explained: "My own goal was just a fluke. I've gone up for the ball and it's come off the top of my head and looped over Brocky. It was in the top corner by the way."

Meanwhile, Molby fumed: "Ninety-nine per cent of the people in the ground, including women and children, would have saved it.

"There might have been contact for the penalty but if it's about contact in the box we should have had 22 penalties."
