    In any other position, it would be a no brainer. Smithies has done well but Etheridge is a better shot stopper, the defence are more comfortable playing in front of him and he's better at coming for crosses etc. He's clearly better.

    Smithies is improving with every game . He is probably a better all round keeper than Etheridge and should retain the jersey as he has been improving with every game .
    I didn't think that after 2 games though ......

    Smithies is getting better but Etheridge has so much credit in the bank, I know what I'd do.

    Get Smithies to give Etheridge lessons in kicking & distribution? Can we merge them?

    Etheridge was better at the beginning of last season, but he had regressed by the end of it and was regularly kicking the ball straight out of play or along the ground to an opposition player.

    Smithies distribution is very good
