The effect the addition of Smart, and to a lesser extent Mook, has had on the starting unit is pretty drastic.
As a lot of us have been saying, most of this simply comes down to a lack of energy and consistent intensity based on chemistry issues and us being in our own heads. When you have to blue-collar dogs like Mook and Smart out there, that kind of stuff gets pushed to the back because they set the example.
I think Smart in the starting lineup needs to be a permanent thing until Hayward recovers enough to be that extra playmaker we need.
