In my opinion, it should be Smith. Don't think it will be though.

I would say Lucas,I doub't he would have came here to be the reserve keeper.

hmm... Lucas i think. Smiths' best game was at peterborough last year, if he's like that all season it should be him

Probably Lucas given the fact he has been given the number 1 shirt?

I think it will be Lucas although I do like Smith and with a new coach he will be a different player this season when he gets his chance

Lucas I would imagine. probably not much between them on actual keeping ability but judging by the Luton game Lucas is a talker and will shout at the defence non-stop for the full 90 minutes which is exactly what we need and would be a pleasant change and hopefully avoid some of last seasons mix ups.

Lucas...Think Smith is abit fortuanate to be still here after some of the Gaffs last season...wish him the best this season though.

I think they'll both play quite a bit. Smith's knuckling down though. I swear i'm the only one that noticed he looked trim and was certainly a lot more vocal against Cardiff. I didn't even think it was him.

Smith had a good game against Cardiff, and if he plays against WBA I'd expect that Wilson is planning to start him at the beginning of the season. If Lucas plays against West Brom then it's anybody's guess who'll play against the Pikeys!

Considering I was not in Austria to witness the 30 or so mins he has had thus far in a Town shirt, I dont feel justified to pass comment on Lucas as yet.

However, what I did see on Saturday was a near faultless commanding display from Smiffy.

That just about sums up my present views

I sort of get the impression sadly that Smith will not get the chance he probably deserves, Towards the end of last season was superb. Seems that Lucas was always on the list and DW seems to really rate him, Giving Smith number 12 sort of shows that as well given the fact Lucas has only played once or twice for us. Smith looks to have lost a bit of weight as well. Perhaps its Smith not being as vocal as Lucas which is letting him down. That said Smith seems to play his best when he has a challenge.

Lucas played against Luton last week and was very commanding not to mention very very loud. as I said not much in it on ability but Lucas would get the nod from me based on experience and the fact he will shout at the defence non-stop which I feel is essential from your keeper.

He pulled off a stunning save season before last, although he did get sent off for it

I don't think that Smith would have been given a new deal if Wilson had not wanted him, Smith has kept his squad number from last season and Lucas has been given Brez's shirt no, I don't think squad numbers have any bearing on the starting 1-11.

Smith looked good against Cardiff and I expect Lucas to play tonight so I will see if either stands out as doing something better than the other.

Lucas. He wasn't brought in to sit on the bench. Bit harsh on smith but i think he'll have to wait for his chance.

Smith will start the season but lose his place to a fully fit Lucas early on.

Lucas has been given the number 1 shirt so unless Phil Smith decided after last season he didnt want the number 1 shirt for superstitious reasons then it looks like Lucas.

I've not seen much of Lucas but for all the praise Greer, Robson-Kanu etc got/get for making us a better team towards the end of the season it also co-incided with Phil Smith coming back in between the sticks.
