Our number one - Podcast
QPR’s brilliant goalkeeper Alex Smithies is the guest on this week’s Open All R’s Podcast, reflecting on the weekend win at Burton and improved form over Christmas.
Alex is always linked with moves away at this time of year but he tells the boys: "I signed a contract to stay last season and I expect to stay. The club is changing direction, getting younger players and trying to develop them which is a change from the past.
"I’m more than happy, there are a few things hanging over the club so you never know what might happen but I’m more than happy here.”
Joining host David Fraser and regular Paul Finney is John Woods and Alan Charles in the studio and Smithies on the phone.
