I think, thought could be wrong, that when is martinb saying "smith is in, it's the rules" he means that Smith gets picked because of experience/leadership/culture/being Chris Wood's best mate and not because of how good he is, so it's a bit of a pointless discussion 

Also because stuff journalist Andrew Voerman asked us to do this to help him out in the thread above, and Smith being in is literally in his rules! 

My selections too had no 3rd keeper and not players like Wilkins because I hadn’t seen them. If I was a real selector I’d have to watch video, talk to coaches etc etc and choose a better researched 24. I guess I could drop Surman. That still leaves me 2 starting CB, Smith, Boxall and Hughes. 

I don’t think dropping any of those guys makes me want to bring in Waine, Howieson (or other midfielder..?) or a keeper I haven’t seen or Sail who I have. Just be grateful I didn’t pick Louis Fenton!
