I am not at all sure about Joe Day's ability to be a number one keeper for a team that's hoping to challenge for a top six place. We have hardly seen him in a City shirt and when we have he's hardly been impressive.
Having said that I think Smithies struggled when he only came in ahead of Etheridge for cup games so maybe Day shouldn't be judged on what we've seen so far.
Does anybody know who our third keeper is at the moment? Do we have one? Is it somebody from the Under 23's?
Was always quite happy when we had an experienced number three like Murphy for a few seasons who you knew you could count on but I'd hate to see us in a position where we had to search around desperately for anybody and end up with some chump like Bywater a few seasons ago.
I'd like to see us sign an experienced number 2 keeper to at least put Smithies under a bit of pressure and then send Day out on loan with the ability to call him back at short notice if needs be.
Mind you I'd also like to spend the night with Jennifer Lawrence but that's not likely to happen either.

Worrying about our "day" if we are to make a challenge for top 6
I don't think we will be challenging for a top 6 place the way things are going we need to stay out of the bottom 6.

At this level you cant ask for much more than that really
You're never going to have a tip top proven keeper on the bench, not for long anyway, I think we were lucky to keep Etheridge and Smithies in a squad for as long as we did.
