Josh Vickers getting some time today? Could see a late subs if all is going well, any thoughts?

Can't see it myself - I always think changing the goalkeeper is a waste of a substitution unless they are injured or playing particularly poorly. And if things are going well, he probably would not have anything to do anyway. Smith is doing fine, anything else at this stage of Vickers' recovery would be an unnecessary risk.
 
I wouldn't put Vickers back in just yet either. Give him another week of recovery rather than throw him into a tough game!
 
I rate Vickers as our No 1. However it’s marginal and Smith is improving with game time. I’d give Vickers another week or two.

I was about to start a thread on who is No 1, Steve, but you've beaten me to it! :tophat: I think Vickers has the maturity but Grant is learning and getting better every match. Nice problem to have!

I think Vickers has the edge at the moment - his reflexes in particular are exceptional. He is two years younger than Smith and has played fewer competitive games than Smith has, but he has genuine quality and I think will play at a far higher level in due course.

EDIT: if he stays fit, of course...
