Gotta keep the shirt, haven’t he?

Prefer Smithies myself

Re: Dillon Phillips

he's done nothing wrong so far.

he'll be on a much lower wage than smithies too probably

Re: Dillon Phillips

I’m not convinced by him.

The defence has ensured he’s had very little to do, literally hasn’t had to make a decent save, which he hasn’t.

Doesn’t seem to command his box as well as Smithies, particularly with taking crosses in the six yard box.

Smithies is one of the better keepers in the division, and I’d put him back in as soon as he’s fit enough.

Re: Dillon Phillips

Smithies only kept the spot after an Etheridge injury

Made a few stops last week.

Hasn’t put a foot wrong.

Long term no 1 sorted

Isn’t Smithies the highest earner?

I saw something that said he was - but who knows how reliable those lists are

Re: Dillon Phillips

I’m a big smithies fan, but I think he might have to wait his turn as Phillips has slotted in and done nothing wrong.

He’s made a few stops, including a cracking save in his first game at a key moment in the game.

Either way it’s clear we have two decent keepers at this level. A position we always seem to get right.

Re: Dillon Phillips

Smithies is a class and potentially the best in the division, I'd like to Phillips in a team that is under pressure and involved a losing stream , before judging him against Smithies

Re: Dillon Phillips

Wasn't Smithies was supposed to be the number 1? Meaning that it was Etheridge who kept the spot and Smithies finally took his rightful place when Etheridge got injured?

Re: Dillon Phillips

Deserves to keep the jersey. However, as someone mentioned in this thread, he needs to command his box a bit more.

Re: Dillon Phillips

I don't get how anyone can be critical of Phillips based on what he's done for us and I can only ask if Bluebird 23 was watching the Rotherham match when he kept us on level terms for the first forty odd minutes?

.

I saw that list on here saying that he was the highest earner. As you say, we don’t know how reliable it is but, if true, the club may take a view that the adequate cheaper option of Philips will mean that Smithies has to go. His contract is up in June 2022 according to Transfermarket. No parachute payment next year, perhaps we won’t be able to afford Smithies and Phillips is the future ?

Re: Dillon Phillips

Smithies is as good as anyone in the championship, Phillips looks like a more than competent keeper and young Radcliffe from the academy is very highly rated

We are particularly strong in the goalkeeping dept at present

Andy Dibble appears to be doing a really good job behind the scenes
