I would say we have good championship goal keepers and they will do us well while we are in this league. I would keep pants over smith solely on the basis that he talks to the defence and everyone knows what he wants gos. Now i did not see that in smith manly because he is still young and learning. It could also be that the defence at the time would just do whatever they wanted and he just gave up as they would not listen.
If we were to go up then yes a goalie is a must and we have seen how important a goal keeper is in the top divisions across Europe with the amount of money being spent by clubs in bring in real quality between the sticks. With such fine margins between winning and losing the goalie can make all the difference to a team. It is no longer a keeper it is a sweeper keeper that is used. Teams press so high now that space behind the defence has become increased and must be filled by a keeper outside his 18 yard box so direct balls and fast breaks are not used by the other teams.
