Yeah I do agree, current form makes it hard to drop him for sure. I also don't think it would serve anyone well for that lad to come in and not play either so unless they think he's an obvious upgrade that justifies dropping Smith then I don't really see the point in bringing him in at this point.

My prediction though is that we find perhaps another number 2 type of keeper on loan or on a free and Smith will continue to start anyway. Either that or we go all in on the idea that Murray Johnson becomes our number 2 with a view of playing him in certain situations down the line, although I'm honestly not sure that's the right approach currently and a proper loan will serve him well.

Certainly want another good keeper to come in to challenge Smith and while the Paulsen talk might happen it just doesn’t feel like it’s a deal that suits both parties IMO .

I think that to about us finding another number 2 type as well . If you look at the other keepers in our league that’s currently playing there’s no one you’d really swap Smith for with maybe Sinisalo being the only one possibly?As they say if somethings not broken then …….

I think Johnson would be better going on loan as I do think a loan would be beneficial for Rudi too .
