Just watched highlights. Not sure how much he could do with 1st goal other than a hopeful dive to look like he is trying. 2nd goal no chance, following some comical defending. The saves he did make though were very good. Still maintain that our priorities lie elsewhere. Easy to pick fault when comparing with Prem keepers, but how many Championship keepers are significantly better? Butland, Foster, Randolph, Westwood. Maybe Carson. Archer and Bentley? Not this season. Leeds, Narch & Sheff Utd? All doing well in spite of their error prone keepers. I think the days of tonnes of top British keepers are gone for whatever reason, especially outside top flight. Most Prem teams seem to want 3 or even 4 keepers training day in day out and plenty of them seem happy to do so as 3rd or 4th choice.. If we could realistically attract one of them on a years loan, then great, but a permanent upgrade I struggle to see happening.
I would however like to see Smith as our number 2, though not getting a game at stags begs its own questions....
