This thread has to go in the hall of fame. A poll with 5 answers and none were the right one. We were all Dam wrong 😂 I say my vote of André wins by default as at least he was on the bench 😉

Can't help wondering if the score would have been any different had Andre played instead of rushing Smith back from injury. I think it's fair to say Smith hasn't had the best of starts to his Rovers career. Was he even injured, there's now way a goalie could have recovered from a rumoured broken in his hand in less than a month? Although bar possibly the second none were really his fault. 1st goal was near enough straight over his head.Wrongfooted for the 2nd goal but that happens occasionally for all keepers.

I'm not having that. Even at the very low amateur levels you know that a striker hits a first time shot back the way the cross comes. His position was way too far over to his left, and as a result he could only get a weak hand to it.

I dont think smith had any chance of saving the 1st goal but he knew he got it wrong on the 2nd goal.

1st goal was as a result of what we should have done in the first half, fire the ball at the goal and let the swirling wind do the rest. The 2nd was the keepers fault whilst the 3rd was down to water-poor defending in allowing the effing cross.
That said,Smith could have done better.
DC made the right call in playing Smith; Andre would have struggled in that weather.

Mildenhall in training today, but start or bench? Who knows. Mildy in training because he's the goalkeeping coach? On radio on the way home after the game I'm sure I heard DC say that they'd registered Mildenhall as a player during the week but he 'couldn't get about as he used to', or words to that effect.

I recall DC saying something in the summer about the option of signing Manse and Mildy as player-coaches, but they decided against it, coz (some part or maybe all?) their wages would then count towards the FFP total.

He's not ready to start yet he's a goalkeeper and needs to be blooded in games like the cup we're in against the likes of Swindon West Ham u21 etc and that's why we have a development squad. As opposediscussed to the experienced smith he couldn't have done any worse Smith had minimal saves to make and cooked them up. In his last 2 games at the Mem he has conceded 7 goals
