Bringing in Grant Smith was a real ace from Andy Woodman, most Yeovil supporters knew exactly what he was and we have benefited from him being the best keeper in the league, most clubs have the same issue with keepers, there is always a number one and little chance for another to get in unless there are injuries that are rare with keepers, I think he will stick with what we have now with Grant and a new loanee coming in, and keep our young keeper loaned out for experience, if we did bring one in from lower I would look at Harrison Male who has left Dorking Wanderers, another realky good keeper

Grant Smith has been instrumental in getting us into Div 2, he absolutely is a must retain as our no1. A good defence starts at no1 and ends where the midfielder’s start, and we’ve had a good defence all season, which we’ll need again next season. I have no issues with our Keeper positions, Woody hasn’t let us down at all with his choices, and I believe he’ll bring in a younger, hungry loanee once again as back up to our “safe hands”, Grant Smith

Agree with Wayne there. Harrison Male is an excellent Keeper and Dorking’s not too far away but more likely we would go with a loanee as cover as unlikely to be many opportunities. ‘Big’ Dave needs experience on loan and if needed would be excellent emergency cover. I don’t think AW will spend a lot of his budget in this area.

Interesting. I was happy we signed Smith because it meant we wouldn't be facing him. He was one big reason we struggled to score against Yeovil.

However, you make no mention of Kacper Orlowski, #31, who I thought had an impressive pre-season.

I assumed David Azaiya has moved past him in the pecking order.

We are unlikely to have both him and David on the books you would think
