This young goalkeeper has played two good matches for us now. Compared with Smithies is he just as good? I just wonder.

That save from the free kick was really good!
Nice situation to be in but Smithies & Hall are my favourites & I like to see them every game. Fair play to Ingram though, keep pushing !Under Les Ferdinand:
Luke Freeman, top assists in the league: 4million
Alex Smithies, great goalie for this club: 3,5million
Charlie Austin, 19 Premier League goals: 4million
Jack Robinson: Contract ran out, left for free
And many more mistakes
LES FERDINAND, IT'S TIME TO GO -
clever management from Jimmy, bring Smithies back for Burnley and let Ingram play against Bristol City. Hopefully Jimmy makes some astute signings in the Summer, we need something to cheer us up, been a dire season tbhI must away now, I can no longer tarry

Decent lad, wasn't phased by the away fans making a bit of noise at each kick. Great save from that free kick, really goodI blew a lot on vodka and tonic, gambling and fags. Looking back, I think I overdid it on the tonic. - The one and only Stanley BowlesComment

Whilst still far better than Green's, Smithies does have the odd poor kick in him (lads where I sit always making comments about how he must do kicking training with Green). That's not knocking him at all, he has been fantastic for us, just a very minor comment. Ingram, however, seems to have a great kick on him. Having good distribution from the keeper is so important IMO, rather than just lumping a ball forward for their CB to head straight back to us (or, in Green's case, kick it straight off for their throw)
As numerous people have said, so refreshing to have 2 quality young keepers fighting it out for the number 1 jersey.You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.Comment
