don't forget Oggy can't work his "magic" on these two keepers, just have to hope Aled is up there with it
awful signing
Not overly inspired by either keeper in truth
I was hoping that Marosi was going to be the second choice with better to come
Not massively impressed with either keeper tbh
Good to see we're not writing the new signings off before a ball has been kicked.Sadly he is a poor goalkeeper.
Thought FFS was already goneI'm just livid we've signed another player. Clearly means we've agreed to sell Bayliss, Hyam, Kelly & Hiwula. FFS.
Yeah his Surname was BurgeThought FFS was already gone
Exciting summer we were told...let’s hope it picks up was hoping for the brum keeper tbh although we knew wages were an issue

It's weird, people get them all worked up and say things and then get annoyed when they don't happen.We've signed one of the best CB's in the division, another that is touted to be a future Scottish international and a GK that was a part of a top 6 side last season? What were people genuinely expecting as the moaning is a bit bizarre to be honest?

There's somebody on another thread who was expecting a prem or championship keeper.
Yeah but it means they can moan.MR still has a budget to adhere to so why would he dedicate a chunk of it to a No.2? It's almost as if they believe the club has struck gold overnight. Granted Wilson might not be the most inspiring signing but what can you expect for a GK that's only likely to play in Checkatrade games or in the event that Marosi is injured?
Yeah I think I saw that. The issue is they take comments in CT articles from either MR or Badlan such as "it's going to be an exciting summer ahead" and automatically associate that with marquee signings galore, which is just obviously not the case at all.

Same as when people invented ticket offers, got all excited, got angry when there wasn't one.
Difficult not to be underwhelmed. looking at the Bradford replays Wilson looks to be charging around slightly witlessly. The Donny guy sounds like their version of Burge. So the quality level is exactly the same.Good to see we're not writing the new signings off before a ball has been kicked.

It may be that the difference between L1 and Championship keepers is the ability to command the area - Stockdale has that, even tho not first choice at Brum, Burge does not. So we just might have to live with it and hope that we have a good keeper for our level.
I did not expect Stockdale but was hoping for an upgrade

I don't know why you are underwhelmed, I'm excited. To sign someone who played for a team in playoffs and was offered a new deal I think is great business. Proof will ofcourse be in the pudding.
Wilson is better than O'Brien so that's an upgrade on the back up keeper and Marosi shares the strengths Burge had which was shot stopping but by the sounds of it has far superior distribution. How many times did burge kick it straight out for a throw in and immediately invite pressure on ourselves? Far too many. And the primary difference regarding set pieces is that Marosi was told to stay on line whereas Burge would occasionally come and miss. I think we have upgraded so I'm happy.
Burge was never the same after he got hit on the head with that puck at the blaze match.

To be fair that's a fair point. At least getting them both in easy means we're not panic buying later on.I think we should bear in mind these aren't last second panic signings so it's more likely that the recruitment team will have identified them as signings, which has to be a little more reliable than people online retrospectively looking for faults.
Marosi was only first choice because Lawlor was injured for most of the season. Doncaster did not meet his wage demands, that's completely different from them not being to afford him.
A source saidI think it is.
