Hopefully not too dangerous ground but is Smithies as good as we all think he is?.......he is definitely a good goalkeeper but watching him lately not a great one as I thought he would have turned into by now. His positioning for the third goal was not good and made it very easy to slip under him and noted Hull only had 4 shots on target. Reading had one, so five shots on target in 2 away games and five goals conceded. I m aware this can happen and I am not blaming him for the own goal as just bad luck but imo his general play over the last few weeks has been average..
