It's still Brezovan edging it slighty for me. Phil Smith is a fantastic keeper, but Brez is just a little bit better in terms of command over area and rushing out.

Mildenhall and Fraser were on the books at the same time - and for one season, Talia was actually in bloody good form. Even saying that, despite the odd howler, Nicky Hammond had some stormers under Hoddle when Fraser was injured and (correct me if I'm wrong) kept Fraser out of the side for a short while.
In the Prem (trivia time) we had 7 keepers on the books throughout the season - Fraser, Nicky Hammond, Shane Cook, Jon Sheffield, Paul Heald....could've sworn there's two more somewhere.
But then we've had a first choice and a cheapo ever since then really, be it Jimmy Glass, Richard McKinney, Matt Bulman, Alan Flanagan...and that's probably how Wise saw Phil Smith, who's proved us all wrong.
I'd guess that if Phil gets injured, Sturrock will have another emergency loan up his sleeve ready to bring in so Jon Stewart doesn't have to play.

2 good keepers - and some of you might laugh .. but Digby and Hammond were both good keepers at the old Division 1 level I thought!

to be honest, I think Phil Smith has surprised just about everyone with his performances.
I watched him in pre-season, but he didnt look up to much and he didnt have alot to do (same with Brezovan) but since he's been between the sticks Phil Smith has been immense and long may it continue.

He's decent enough for this level and probably the next one up as well. A good shot stopper, good relexes, kicking is good compared to Rhys etc etc. Only fault is he doesn't come out and claim crosses often enough, but at least if the defence know this it removes the uncertainty.
