Alex Smithies!

[qpr]

Really happy for him, watch his confidence grow now

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

This is the minimum of what we should have been expecting from a keeper and makes a mockery of all those that defended Green blindly for so long for making saves and saves alone

Smithies makes the saves that Green does plus he can kick, catch and command his box and is decisive!!!! Left his box yesterday when they countered and put the ball out the ground job done imagine Green being asked to sweep up at the back

So much more confident with him in goal and clearly the defence is too

Agree. Green soooo poor at so many things. Glad he's been f%cked off permanently hopefully. Good for us in spells, but not worth a quarter if the money he's supposedly on. Smithies a much better all round keeper.

Good interview with Smithies on player where he's praising the electric atmosphere.

[Ginger Ninja]

And he's still young too (for a keeper). As others have said if he keeps going the way he is he should be our number 1 for years to come. Top keeper. Very pleased for him.

Are we paying Green to sit on his ..... and do nothing?

[Rebel R's]

Are we paying Green to sit on his ..... and do nothing?

Yes

[Stanley]

Are we paying Green to sit on his ..... and do nothing?

Yes

Until his contract runs out in the summer.

We have no choice as no one wanted him in the window.

[Hove Ranger]

Are we paying Green to sit on his ..... and do nothing?

Yes but cheaper than playing him and having to give him a new contract beyond this season

[jmelanie]

Does playing in the reserves count towards the 30 games?

[Hove Ranger]

Does playing in the reserves count towards the 30 games?

nope but i doubt he will even play for them. We've got Ingram and Lumley who need game time too

Better than paying him to cost us goals.

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

Better than paying him to cost us goals.

Exactly what I thought.

Nothing personal, but towards the end of his reign I was actually starting to hate the bloke, thus, magnifying every one of his many deficiencies.

[Shepherds Mush]

So glad McCarthy walked...

[Shania]

A pity and also strange that Smithies didnīt get his chance before this late in the season.

[Kevin Mcleod]

Don't know if it's common knowledge but read today that Smithies is an expert penalty saver as well. Points to the left side at the player and they nealry always try the double bluff and put it that side and he saves it.
