Smithies stat

[EastbourneBlue]

According to the commentator tonight, Smithies has the second worst shot-to-save ratio in the division.

Phillips is also none too clever.

Interesting, I’m sure you’ll agree.

He’s probably had more shots to deal with, but that would surely help his stats rather than hinder them?

I think from memory we don't actually concede that high s number of shots, at least we didn't even when we were crap, but teams only need a few chances to score against us. so likely we give up big chances.

Re: Smithies stat

Too many variables. There’s a better stat out there like vs/xg

His shots could be more one on ones where others are dealing with shots that are adequately closed down.

How many times have we thought Smithies has cost us the game? Very few and I think that is more telling.

I think Smithies has done well and will be very sad to see him go if he leaves at the end of his contract.

David Marshall made more saves than any other keeper in the PL for us, and was something like 3rd or 4th for shots saved per game. We still conceded a shedload.

Shots saved per shots faced would give a better answer for anyone wanting to work it out, yet xG might argue differently if you're allowing the opposition to keep hitting shots from long range and they're easy for the goalkeeper.

he made a couple of good saves in this match, but could have done better for the goal.
I still rate him

I've just watched the highlights from last night. Smithies has to do a lot better than that.

I thought he had a few ropey moments last night.

This is the stat the commentator was using. Smithies has saved only 60% of the shots faced. Only Simon Sluga formerly of Luton had a worse save percentage. Phillips was only marginally better than Smithies but didn't state the percentage.

I'd like to know what his xG score is. Was he leaking goals because the defence gifting easy chances?

I thought he should have saved last nights goal.

Re: Smithies stat

Seems to be poor on shots from outside the box this season.
Last night was a shocking effort for a keeper of his standard.
Phillips is no better .

Re: Smithies stat

I'm a bit 50/50 about Smithies. Very good stopper on his day, but sometimes could do better. Would not be disappointed if he was let go in summer.

Re: Smithies stat

All depends what else is available, Phillips isn’t quite as good but not miles behind.

Re: Smithies stat

I wouldn't be too disappointed to go with Phillips and ratcliffe next season and free up some wages to be used elsewhere.

if our defence continues to be more solid then I think Phillips would look better as well

I think Smithies will copy Danny Ward and join his hometown club on a free.
