I can’t see Dovin being happy on the bench, especially as reserve goalkeepers rarely play.

If Dovin comes back from injury as the player he was before then I’m happy with him as our first choice. I think the money could be better spent on strengthening other positions.
Rushworth is the better goalkeeper but Dovin is also very good. Personally, I don’t think he’d have a problem being back-up for a PL side.

I don’t disagree about Rushworth being a bit better but I don’t think there is much in it and I expect Dovin, being younger, to continue developing.

I still think we can spend the money better elsewhere, which was really my point.

Despite giving us a lot of praise so far this season, Bloom and Sam Parkin both forecast Stoke to beat us last weekend.

Disagree as we’d still need to sign another goalkeeper who could play in the PL, especially as seeing what happened last season after Dovin’s injury. For years we didn’t take the position seriously and now we’re enjoying the benefit of doing so.

I don't really care for any of these self labelled EFL 'experts' but Benjamin Bloom is alright

Knows his stuff and always been very complimentary about CCFC - He is much more listenable than those muppets who run the Second Tier Podcast

I think the Second Tier Pod is decent. They just gain engagement from slightly controversial tweets.

Yes we would need another keeper but there seems to be an expectation that we would have to pay north of £10 million for Rushworth. I think we could get a decent reserve keeper for a lot less than that and spend the saving on other positions.

I agree that, in an ideal world, we would like Rushworth as our first choice and Dovin as our number two but I can’t see it happening.

Hopefully we’ll get to see! 🤞

Agreed, and I watch most of his stuff, but having watched both Adam Clery and The Dutch Couch this morning, they were both extremely complimentary to us, so they'll do too 😉

Rushworth is currently far better than Dovin IMO. I'm a big fan of Dovin too, hes a massive upgrade on the previous clowns, but Rushworth is a step up again. Dovin has better distribution but it's kind of nullified anyway with having Grimes sitting.
Calling Wilson a clown is harsh for me.
I really don’t understand the stick he gets. His mistakes have been so few, his clean sheet record is really good and in terms of cult status, he literally scored a goal to get us into the play-offs. You can’t compare him to Rishworth but the disrespect is so undeserved.

I agree.

He is, at worst, par for the course for the Championship and on his day really rather decent.

Perhaps they meant clown as in always fooling around and joking?

Dovin will get plenty of game time in the FA Cup games, especially if we get to the semi-finals again. 🤞

Yeah totally agree. Benjamin Bloom is very knowledgeable and always has good things to say about us. Sam Parkin is good on it as well.

Seems like a likeable bloke and he doesn't resort to all the clickbaits that other podcasts tend to. None of the fake enthusiasm either.

From what I've seen of Second Tier on YouTube, it's quite irritating

There are a couple of Cov fans who have fairly popular Championship YouTube channels. I think it's The Sportman and Matt SB without double checking. Also some fairly well viewed CCFC specific channels.

Alex as well. TBH there are some really great vlogs for many a championship club. I go on them just to get a feel for what they predict etc. there are a lot of team’s fans that rate City of course.

Ben Bloom is pretty fair. Love Sam Parkin on his show too and What the EFL.

Second tier I listen to but Ryan Dilkes is a bit of a 🔔. At least Justin changes his mind when the facts change.

Favourite Championship reviews / previews are from Callum Fowler. Very funny and honest (hates blades as well).

Alex Craig my favourite City Vlogger but others are good. The beardy bloke who says fuck a lot is good for giggles but feel like his lad is the grown-up

James Allcott I mean!

Alex Craig looks more like Josh Eccles with each video and I can’t be convinced otherwise
