If Smith was going to regain his form he would have done it by now. He's looked good at times but the big saves he's made have been far, far outweighed by the gaffes and softies.
The only thing I worry about in replacing him this season is if he's liked in the locker room and if it would affect chemistry.
None of us are in the room so who knows? Coaching and management would likely have their pulse on that. They know as well as we do that he hasn't been good enough.
Are they willing to risk losing the top seed in the west over his poor play?
