2012 → Lincoln City (loan) 0
2012 → Nuneaton Town (loan) 7
2014 → Stevenage (loan) 0
2014 → Cambridge United (loan) 4
2015 → Mansfield Town (loan) 4
2015–2017 Northampton Town 86

Sam Slocombe

2015–2016 Oxford United 23
2016–2017 Blackpool 32

Thoughts? Does this rule out a Joe Lumley deal in your opinion?
..and out of the two, who would you prefer/ideally see starting on the first day of the season?

I would start with Smith, more recent experience in this league I agree - he has youth, experience, height advantage, and won League two player of the year when Northampton won the league in 15/16. |

Definitely rules out Lumley unfortunately. Gutted about that. Just hope these two are/will be as good!

I think we have better now than Lumley Disagree with that, tbh. Tbf, though, if one came close to Lumley it would, on paper, be Smith. Joe Lumley was fantastic though. |

What I can tell, fan reaction:
Slocombe isn't exactly 'liked' by Oxford fans: Many say that they are happy to get him of the books, and get in a more experienced man. One said for every save he makes, he makes three howlers.
Smith is liked, and fans dont understand why they let him go. Good goalkeeper who just needs to work on his kicking. Huge potential.

Slocombe left Oxford last July so they've had him off the wage bill for a year now. The problem with Oxford is that they lose their managers to other teams, whereas we don't (we sack ours...) |

If we could play both of them in goal at the same time, nobody would score against us !!

DC will play one at home the other away - that's the deal!!! 😉 Good to have a genuine choice now and two of our own - yippee!!
Hopefully as its now looking very likely that Joe Lumley is now out of the equation and DC may of been expecting to pay money for Joe it just may give him a bit more spending budget to play with. - who knows!!
I will follow Joe Lumley's career with interest.

Thread is too positive. Needs more slagging off of the players before they have even played for us
