Yeh desperate but the club buying our players will be desperate too knowing their full value.
Knowing how PR and the owners operate, like the club’s valuation, they will probably over value how much our players are worth and put a £15m on Osmajic’s head, £5m on Storey’s, etc so no one will come in for them, just like buying the club.
 
That's up to the owners to put their money where their mouth is and cover the cost in wages to get us back up. The current squad with a few quality additions is capable for promotion at the first time of asking.
Are you due back at the asylum anytime soon . 😱
 
Yeah, Cornell's "Crosses Stopped per 90" is 7.1, apparently - here are their stats per 90 side-by-side:

Interesting how close the levels of performance have been generally considering the amount of people who have labelled Woodman as a decent Championship goalkeeper and Cornell as non league dross.
 
If relegated, I think it also makes Osmajic's fee much lower. He won't want to be playing in League One and will want a move and clubs interested will know we don't have a pot to piss in and have just lost a load of money from relegation.

On the last 5 games, he's utter shite anyway.

I think Osmajic's deal is done. Certainly not playing like a guy who needs a big move.

If they get anywhere near those valuations, good job ?

Goalkeeping is about a lot more than TV saves. Cornell has made some good saves but he has kept 0 clean sheets and we conceded 2-3 a game with him. He has 0 communication and positionally is terrible.

I think we can improve on Freddie but he has kept 17 clean sheets in all competitions this season, 10 last season and 17 the year before that. There is no comparison between Freddie and Cornell and it blows my mind people are speaking positively about a keeper who conceded about 2 goals a game and hasn't been on a winning side since 2022!

Clean sheets is more a defensive stat than a GK stat really.

We're conceding more shots on target and more big chances over this poor run of form. So of course we're conceding more. They're both poor GKs.

But a good goalkeeper is the leader of his his defensive unit. A goalkeeper with good communication and authority will concede less shots because he'll get his defenders organised properly.
 
If we go down, we can no longer afford to pay their wages, so we'll be shoving them out the door for anything we can get.

Whiteman would be the most interesting one for me. Abysmal season and on huge wages but he was quality in that league for Doncaster. I suspect he'll be offered to a few clubs on a season long loan and probably end up at Stoke/Derby/Hull.

To be clear, I'm not advocating for Cornell.

I'm just pointing out that Woodman operates on a similar level to Cornell and yet I constantly see him being called a decent Championship keeper - despite him being one of the worst performers in the league (not only this season).

There is absolutely comparison between them. They are both lower league standard. Which is why one is a perpetual bench warmer and the other is reportedly off to be third choice/token home grown player for United (a role usually reserved for those in the twilight of their career) at 28.

Add the goalkeeping position to the list of things that have us in this position with the number of goals against from individual errors by Mr Clean Sheet.
 
What's it saying? I will be in my cold cold grave before I pay the lep 4.99

I'm guessing it's more copy paste crap from every article released since Sunday?
That our mentality on the pitch is shit. Hardly breaking news, but at least Hecky clearly gets it. He also implies, cautiously, in answer to a question about PNE being a comfy place that he thinks that is the case.

tl:dr; AIMITA

When asked what he wants to see more of, in that regard, he said, last week: “It’s those challenges of getting over the line, because it's easy to behave like a winner here. Where's the pressure, other than what we put on ourselves? Getting over the line on a match day, where, you're always judged - some of my favourite players I've worked with could be a pain in the arse Monday to Friday. Forever waiting to give them a slap, but cross the white line and ‘poof’... do you know what I mean?
“It's always about the game. Your questions will be led about the game; people’s opinion of me, or the players, will be based around results. So, whatever we practice in the week, we're practicing the right things. We speak about developing that mentality, working on a big challenge and how you come through it. But the test is in the game, and that’s why you should always reflect really well on the game, how you behave and how you perform. That will always be the test, always.”
