Smith Heading Out On Loan

I wouldn't blame Smith for felling rather miffed at present. Gets his chance in the first-team, does nothing wrong in five straight league games, gets dropped as soon as Vickers is fit again, shunted to third choice keeper and then told he can go out on loan. Cannot help feeling the lad has been hard done to.

The best teams and managers have to be ruthless. Josh Vickers is one of the best goalkeepers in the league. If he's fit, he plays.
 
I also think DC/NC were genuinely surprised by Vicker's recovery, hence the signing of Slocombe.
