Let's just hope he doesn't have his usual shocker against Leeds today. Although doubtless if he does, "the sun was in his eyes", and "he wasn't to blame" as per. You can't seriously think people are being over protective of Smithies. He's getting constant shit from all angles and far more likely to be blamed for things that aren't his fault than people excuse him for a genuine screw up. NB Are you in Leeds today? Yeah I'm in Midnight Bell at the moment, see you at ER. Re Smithies, I think he's an average keeper (at best) at this level, but no worse than most (all?) of the rest of them....

I've a feeling the you tube clip isn't going to be played in Smithies defence....

That third goal, it couldn't have been more obvious where he was putting it. Smithies needs a rest for a while, give Murphy a run and see how he gets on

Alex Smithies would have looked good playing for L666ds today. I only have him down for the 2 mistakes today.

He's now conceded 23 in 9 games against L666ds.

We need Ronaldo and Bale bringing before the next game at this rate.

Time for Murphy now, get the clown out.

The fact that Smithies has had no serious competition for his place for 3 years or more is just another indication of how shoddily and complacently this club is being run. Murphy is a cheap benchwarmer, nothing more, and Smithies knows it.

I totally agree with the last poster. Murphy is not the answer but came in cheap. We never move on with pace at Town

It probably wouldn't have made much difference but I don't get why (for the second goal) Smithies dived to the ground after jumping to reach the lob, no need. He may have got back if he'd just landed on his feet.

We need a Goalkeeper bringing in ASAP. According to the internet Thomasz Kuszczak is a free agent and looking for a club. A wealth of experience, played over eighty games for Brighton & Hove Albion the last two seasons.
Smithies needs a rest away from the firing line,... needs go away and give his head a shake, start again !!
Also/
Nigel Reo-Coker, James M'Fadden, free agents, could do a great job here.
Lets see how we go

i'd have subbed Smithies at half time if I thought we had a better Keeper in the ranks. Perhaps we don't.

He annoyed you in that game did he? Good Im glad. You deserve to be annoyed for being so feckin clueless.

Time wasting at 0-0 when your at home from the first minute is shoddy, no matter who we are playing!

The same Smithers that kicks the ball straight out from goal kicks or out of hands! The same goalie that doesn't come for crosses, the same keeper that runs out of his box at times and looks utterly clueless! Don't get me wrong he is a good shot stopper but there's more to that then goal keeping, he is a very average keeper! And a few games on the bench will do him some good, look at Joe Hart, worked for him!

I just love the way you compare the situation of our "very average keeper" (in your opinion) to a top Premiership keeper. All the over exaggerated faults you point out, most if not all keepers commit from time to time, especially when playing in a struggling side.

Even one of these young keepers ? Worth a try maybe.

I don't rate him either at this level, I'm afraid. However I know I'm possibly expecting too much.
Has moments when he's fantastic but way too many dodgy moments. Kicking, control of his area, leadership all poor.

Yeah, he's made a few mistakes this season, but who hasn't? If the team was doing better, he wouldn't be getting the criticism he is. As poor as he was at Leeds, Town have far bigger problems to sort out than him.

Was excellent today but just goes to show when you have a decent defence in front of you!!
The save from Williamson which was hit like a bullet through a crowd of players was a blinder!!!

Some moronic comments on here should be put to bed.
I'd love to know what people based their judgements on when they pluck out garbage keeper etc.
