Smith might be promising but he's not an A League keeper at the moment. Call me old -fashioned but a keeper's job is not to be good with his feet. It is to organise the defence, instil confidence in the defence, make saves and stand in the right position. His inexperience shows and every team will be exploiting his weaknesses. The way he set up the wall and how he positioned himself for the 2nd goal was very poor. And you can see the defence does not have confidence in him either. He's certainly not the only one to blame for the loss but he has a lot to learn and I'm not sure the A League is the place to do it

Fox, Doyle and Mullen. 

None would be guaranteed starters. Smith made some good saves. I don't blame him.  Not his fault we couldn't stop a cross with a minute to go and didn't mark up on the strikers. Think about the first two we scored. Good goals, but Theo was nowhere
