Has Smith 'earned right to be No.1' or is he not 'the answer'?
We asked for your views on whether Jordan Smith should start next season as number one number one at what some of you said:Keith: Smith has been excellent for us since he came in but is he the answer? I doubt it. We must look to improve all over the pitch and goalkeeper is one of those Jordan deserves to be Hibs' number one keeper next season. He has been exceptional since his introduction to the team, and it's a team game and he's so important to our current team, so whoever we buy will have to be his understudy as for me he's cemented the number one Smith has done well overall, however he's still got room for improvement. He was at fault for some of the goals conceded and he's had a few shaky moments in games. We need to bring in someone to really challenge him or take his place. Competition for places is Smith has earned the right to be number one, is there nobody at the academy to be an understudy?Alan: I would get Kevin Dabrowski back from Raith Rovers, he was outstanding for them a season ago, best keeper in Championship by a mile. His face doesn't seem to fit since Barry Robson arrived. Smith has been good but still a bit suspect and not good with his Smith should deservedly retain the number one spot next term. However, he is prone to the odd error and it's clear we need a quality option to challenge for the gloves, especially given the strain that European football can bring. Overall though Smith has been very good since breaking into the While Smith was brilliant last season, there are some elements to his game that he needs to improve upon. He's a little hesitant on coming off his line to clear the ball at times which has cost us a few goals. That has been a problem for Hibs for a while, so if we can get someone in who can deal with that, it will be a big plus. As for our third-choice keeper, it will be interesting to see if Hibs bring anyone in or have one of our academy players to fill the spot, we'll have to wait and see.

How should Hibs address keeper position this summer?
Given the stellar job Jordan Smith has done for Hibernian since being brought into the side in November, it feels somewhat harsh to question his future in the team. But with fellow goalkeepers Josef Bursik (loan from Club Brugge expiring) and Max Boruc (out of contract) set to be leaving, the Leith side will have to strengthen that position. The question is whether Hibs look to upgrade on Smith, who was rewarded with a new deal until 2028 in March, or find an understudy for the 30-year-old. Diving deep into the numbers, they suggest finding someone better than the former Nottingham Forest keeper could be a struggle. Out of players to have played at least 10 Scottish Premiership games this season, only Celtic's Kasper Schmeichel (76%) boasts a better save percentage than Smith (73%). As well as that, only Schmeichel and Rangers' Liam Kelly have a better goals-conceded-per-game average. Meanwhile, according to FotMob, Smith has prevented an expected goals tally of almost three. Those numbers mark a huge upgrade on Bursik, who started the first 13 league games of the season. Hibs only won one of those. Remarkably, after Smith's introduction to the team, David Gray's side went on to lose just three of their final 25 Premiership matches. Given the work the Englishman has put in to become number one and improve the team, he will not give that up easily regardless of who the club bring in this summer. Hibs fans, what do you think? Is Smith the undisputed number one or should any new arrival play second fiddle to the 30-year-old? Tell us your thoughts here.

MNPD: Man charged after ‘acquaintance' found dead in car on Wedgewood Avenue
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A man has been arrested for multiple charges, including homicide, in connection with a shooting that happened near Belmont University's campus last week. According to the Metro Nashville Police Department, around 4:30 a.m. on Wednesday, May 14, officers arrived at the intersection of Wedgewood Avenue and 16th Avenue South, where they found a black Nissan Altima that had crashed into a tree. Officials said 26-year-old Dana Corley, who had sustained multiple gunshot wounds, was found sitting in the driver's seat of his Nissan and pronounced dead at the scene. Shots were reportedly heard in the area between 10:30 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 13. Authorities said Corley's phone was later found near Wedgewood Avenue and 21st Avenue, but his wallet wasn't recovered. PREVIOUS: Man dead after shooting on Wedgewood Avenue, police say On Sunday, May 18, police announced detectives charged 24-year-old Jordan A. Smith with criminal homicide for the shooting of his 'acquaintance,' Corley, last Tuesday, as well as aggravated kidnapping for forcing Corley out of the market, aggravated robbery, and evidence tampering. In the minutes prior to the shooting, Smith reportedly saw Corley inside the Circle K market on Belmont Boulevard. Smith, who was sitting in a vehicle outside the market because his girlfriend worked there, claimed that he had issues with Corley in the past, according to law enforcement. Officials said Smith went into the market and escorted Corley out at gunpoint. Then, after the two were outside, Smith allegedly robbed Corley — who was unarmed — of his cell phone. Authorities said Corley drove away from the property, but Smith drove out of the lot in the same direction just moments later. Smith reportedly told police that he fired at Corley's vehicle when they were side by side near the intersection of 16th Avenue South and Wedgewood Avenue because he was in fear. ⏩ The MNPD said its Specialized Investigations Division TITANS detectives found Smith at an apartment complex on Buena Vista Pike Sunday afternoon and took him into custody. He's being held without bond. No additional details have been released about this case. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
