Goalkeepers

As I posted in January, we should have been looking at Fisher from MK Dons who was out of contract in the Summer.

Swansea signed him for £400k instead.

Gavin Bazunu on loan please.

Wouldn't be shocked if we got Iversen back though.

I don't actually think Lowe rates him that highly. His distribution is dodgy to say the least. We will need a keeper who can use his feet in the summer.
 
6 months ago I’d have had cold sweats at the thought of losing Iversen but honestly I don’t think he’ll be as big of a loss as we once feared. His distribution leaves a lot to be desired for the way Lowe wants to play and recently he’s let in a few that I’ve been a bit disappointed at. I think Sepp going will have a much bigger impact that’s for sure.
 
When our Championship status becomes secure for next season, Lowe should ideally watch Ripley play at first team level, before he looks outside the club to replace him. Ripley’s body shape and fitness are now much improved over what he showed at the start of the season; his movement and reflexes are also much improved.
Liam Lindsay was in a similar position to Ripley: fans adopted a negative attitude to him and prematurely wrote him off, yet at Millwall he showed himself worth a first team opportunity when called upon. If Ripley is good enough to be selected for the bench, he is good enough to be given a chance of first team football before any decision is taken on his next contract.

Fuck right off. He's an absolute disgrace of a "professional"

Smirking while he's lining up against Man City while looking like a 40yr old pub team keeper.

Not too much of an exaggeration to say that last season this fella virtually kept us in the Championship on his own. The number of points he saved gave the rest of the team confidence.
Now we play a slightly different style and his shortcomings are clear. Playing out from the back is not something that comes naturally and must be learnt. Can he learn quickly enough? Time will tell. If he does adapt then he will be one hell of a Keeper.
More of a concern to me has been the couple of long range flyers he has let in recently. Lucky shots or a lack of concentration from the Keeper .... I don't know. Hopefully the former not the latter. Midfielders need to be more alert to possible long range shots too and do more to prevent them in my view.

Translation: Fans quickly realised he was terrible and wanted the club to sign better.

Jesus wept. No wonder we get stuck with deadwood when we've got fans wanting to give Ripley and Lindsay another go.

Hopefully we can get them both off the books come summer and they'll be remembered as two of our worst ever at their respective positions

Dont worry about the Keeper,we always come good on this score,we have our own,but borrow
class,its what we do,this policy has served us very well,we all got stressed when sam went back
(johnstone),to united,got some bloke called pickford,he was very tidy,at this time we have daniel,if things
change,we wont be short of hungry keepers,they will be busy with us.
we dont have a keeper problem,never have had.xx.
 
I love Iversen and would be more than happy with him returning.
I know nothing about other teams up and coming players but I’ve noticed this one lad has appeared for his first team a few time.
What would be the chances of him coming here for full time, regular, week in week out football?

Seems to be their first choice backup and cup keeper now. Can't see him going and it being Liverpool, we'd have to remortgage Deepdale anyway.
