"He's a really good goalie"

Mj No GIF
 
Supposedly a nice fella who tried his best when called upon.....but IMO a poor goalkeeper, certainly at Championship level.

Fair play for getting another club and good luck to him.

Dai was a really really top guy, who was in the squad as third choice keeper and whose main role was to assist in training routines which require one goalkeeper for each 6 or 7 outfielders. He was never really expected to be first choice and play games except in extreme emergencies and was paid accordingly. No club like North End can affors to pay 3 first team ready keepers. He never gave anything except his absolute best yet lots of unfair criticism went his way. I wish him every success.

Agree with your points but for 3 out of 4 years he was back up and not third choice.

Announced that he's in the Welsh squad. Obviously as back up, but still... not a bad week for Dai 👏

3 years as a backup for North End - never called up

3 months unemployed before signing for Leicester as a back up - called up

If Andy Hughes wasn’t already a prime example, playing for a big name club is more important than how you actually play for the Wales FA
 
This whole getting a training keeper for international squads seems very weird to me.

England doing it with the deadful Jason Steele as well.

I am still not over L2 as he then was Chris Gunter aged in his mid 30s at Wimbledon making the cut for The Euros (or was it The World Cup?) ahead of Championship player Andrew Hughes.

Fuck the Wales football team and Welsh FA.

No, he’s their straight up backup - like Nicholls is for us. Tom King is the training keeper, 31 and “plays” for Everton - 8 games since 2023

Who? (genuinely)

I'm going have to google him.


Edit - still none the wiser!

Btw, 9 games, seems he sneaked one in for Wolves sometime in the 2023-25 seasons!

Where do you think I got the info from? I was in the process of telling Hunter they only had two keepers in the squad before deciding to check whether he could be another one

Got lucky there or just sums up standard of Welsh goalkeeping. If I was him, I'd be asking to re negotiate his contract as an "international"

Yes, turns out the other lad is half Chinese and of a similar standard, Doo Ying, he has a couple of caps.
It was a close call for who got first choice, a sort of, Doo or Dai situation!!!!
