Yeah, everyone jumping on that cage to say he was "fucking brilliant"  Cheesy

Coming from non-league you can tell he really knows how lucky he is and is prepared to work hard as a result.

Reckon we should look to sign more from that level.

Is this a football related thread where everyone agrees?

Has this happened before?

He deserves the extension. Very happy for him, Top Bloke. I hope this doesn't mean the end of Brezovan though.

Pleased for him...and us. Nice to see proper contracts handed out too - I suppose 2 years means til the end of next season (i.e. 18 months) or perhaps the end of 08/09?

I still think we should sign Brez - whereas Smith's solid, Brez showed he's a cut above - crosses came in and he took EVERYTHING and if it put half as much confidence in the defence as it did me, then he's worth it.

Phil Smith totally deserves the deal.
At his age he must of been giving up on ever joining and playing regulary for a league team but he's proved he is totally worth his place in the team, looks like he's been in the professional leagues for years!

Phil Smith really is living the dream.  He really exudes the fact that he's doing the dream job and the fans have warmed to him.  The last second save (maybe Shrewsbury or Torquay) was fantastic.  The guy deserves all he gets from his career.  I just can't believe he didn't play sustained pro footy earlier.


It was Shewsbury!

Proud to be one of those cage jumpers!!!

But, you're both right you can see he appreicates is much more, because well...he's had a taste of the other side....working in an office 9 to 5 for living.

Where as Shakes, CCP, Nicholas, Weston etc as far as I know have always been footballers....not a dig at them....but I doubt they've ever had to hold down a regular job

Can only echo previous posts, totally deserved. He was patient, waited for his chance, then quite literally grabbed it with both hands.

Never thought i'd say this a few months back, but we've hardly missed Brezovan (still hope he signs though....)

Agreed. Having two good keepers can only be a good thing.

That was a major flaw with King's dealing with Rhys Evans - he never had adequate competition.

well done to Smith but I DO think we have missed Brez.

It's no coincidence that since he's been injured we've gone back to being awful at defending crosses. Brez used to claim everything and had a huge reach.

Smith is a good number 2 but Brez would be number 1 for any club outside the prem by the looks of it, so he's who I want as our regular first choice

Will he be the same when he returns from injury? No doubt he'll need some friendlies/reserve games before he returns to the first team as he'll need his confidence up.

Smith has been playing in goal since September/October?!

Its only since Sturrock has come in, we've stopped being able to defend set pieces and crosses. So he is obviously doing something different to Wisey.

I don't doubt that Brezovan is a better keeper - I'd like to see them fight it out though. Smith deserves his contract because let's be honest most of us thought we were fucked when Brez got injured.
