Back from his loan spell with Ingram out. Would you give him a go in the last couple of games? |  |

Been fantastic for Blackpool, as he was for Brizzle Rovers. Hope he plays Saturday and at Leeds |  |

In a word yes.
I think he's a ready made replacement for Smithies. 9 clean sheets for Blackpool tells a atory. |  | | |

Have I missed something - why isn't Smithies playing?
Or is Holloway simply giving the other keepers a run now we're safe? |  | | |

Had concussion, think rules were brought in meaning you can’t play for a week or two. |  |

Smithies wife is/has just about to have a baby, so I think Olly is doing the decent thing while also getting a look at possible replacements. |  |

Also Smithies' wife was due to give birth. But yes, why not give Lumley a go?
Much as I want Smithies to stay, but I feel given his quality he really should be advancing his career now and playing at a higher level. I will be quite shocked if not a single offer comes in from a Prem club this summer, you'd really have to question their scouting and attitude to lower league players if that was the case.
Equally he'd be a very good option for one of the relegated clubs, or current Championship top 6. |  |

I'd have played Ingram for the rest of the season so now I'd do the same for Lumley. I'll be surprised if Smithies is still here next season so let's have a look at Ingram & Lumley. |  |

No Prem club will pick up Smithies as first choice. i know it's heresy, but they won't. A Prem club might want him to join as a back-up, but then why would he bother?
He'll still be here next season. Goalies like stability. |  |

I think you're right. Even though I think he would improve some PL teams.
I wondered whether Cardiff or Fulham might go for him when one of them goes up. Neither have overly-convincing No1s and will be more aware of Smithies than PL clubs. |  | | |

Villa will need a new keeper this season and Bruce likes Smithies. Watch this space. |  |

Matt Ryan at Brighton is about the same height as Smithies and apparently clubs looked at him but thought him too small for a PL keeper.
Both same size as Peter Shilton. Don't know how he ever got a game! |  | | |

I can't understand why we would recall Lumley unless we are going to play him.
If he has come back to sit on the bench, that is a job that Deng(?) could have done. | | | |

I would have thought he'd be starting, otherwise like you say what's the point. Pretty excited to see him play TBH, been going really well at Blackpool. |  | | |

He's around 6ft 2in. Is that too small for a Prem keeper these days?? | |

Deng is out on loan as well. And half as good as Lumley. | | | |
