Transfer Rumour Carl Rushworth - Permanent (2 Viewers)

[stupot07]

Im not sure Dovin is anything more than slightly above average TBH

Even when he played i found his shot stopping decent but was poor on crosses stayed stationary on his line and his handling was just decent .

His distribution was good

I think if we had dovin in goal last season we dont get 95 points

I think there's a bit of recency bias there. Dovin is better than slightly above average.

I feel very sorry for him - it's got to the point where I wonder if we'll ever see him play for us again.

Now the bed wetters can have clean sheets

Rushworth out for ages with injury in 23/24 when on loan to Hull.

24/25

Ankle injury

93 days

It still doesn't change the fact that GK's are the least likely player to get a bad injury.

Unless your name is Oliver Dovin

 

[bigfatronssba]

...unless we are in the Championship of course

If he has a good season he'll be going to a bigger club than Brighton

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

Did any seniors watch Reg Matthews?

Was Bob Wesson when I first started, liked Wesson.But then Bill Glazier came and took goalkeeping to a whole new level.
Some of the saves I saw from Rushworth last season,I hadn’t seen since Bill.

Much better.

Before his injury he was playing really well.

Really hope that he makes a full recovery - if he does we’ll have another excellent keeper in the squad.

I just hope he can get through the medical what with all the excessive genital massaging he's received from many quarters on this thread.

I found his shot stopping decent but he was poor form crosses and corners , stayed on his line but his handling was decent.

Just above average is where he sits for me
Hes clearly a couple of levels below rushworth who i class as a very good keeper

 

[Evo1883]

Disagree.

I’ll happily agree that he had a slow start but without his performances in Jan-Feb, we don’t make the playoffs. He had a lot of metrics that indicated he was a top 5 Championship keeper at that moment in time.

Rushworth is a better keeper so it’s worked well in the end. We’ll make a neat profit on Dovin imo, providing he recovers properly.

We will see where dovins career takes him , its just how i feel

Save percentage - mid table

Goals prevented - mid table

Reg was good enough to play for England when we were in the Third Division. He was something special and Rushworth is clearly comparable, but it's difficult to compare goalies 70 years apart. My lovely Aunty Bett knew Reg, and he took my autograph album with him when he went to play for England Under 23s.

 

[Pusb1]

Any idea when we think the medical/announcement will be?

 

[biggymania]

Any idea when we think the medical/announcement will be?

No

 

[ptr]

Do we have to wait for the official announcement before we can laugh at people who genuinely thought we’d be signing Mark Travers to replace him?

Further to that, anyone that thought Ben Wilson would be goal against Arsenal needs to be excluded from the forum.

 

[Marty]

Dovin is a decent championship keeper, still think he would have saved the Isidor goal in the play offs, but Rushworth is just so much better, Dovin needs a loan and see if he can progress and get his confidence back. This time next year, there's every chance he's first choice for us in the championship.

Unless your name is Oliver Dovin

Or Bill Glazier.

He may of been rated mid table at the time of his injury, but he's a young inexperienced keeper who was getting better and better with every game. His ceiling was and still is very high.

Maybe , we will see

 

[Johnnythespider]

There appears to be no buy back from what I have read from the latest 'Its done (but its not really)' articles which is great

JH dud say he'd bet his Segway on it !!

 

[usskyblue]

Don’t know about anyone else but I’m fuckinchuffed we’ve potentially got Rushworth and Dovin as a 1 & 2 (if we don’t send Dovin on loan).

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

I think there's a bit of recency bias there. Dovin is better than slightly above average.

100% - he was a POTS contender before his injury. Particularly stepped up during the start of our run in Jan-Feb. There were several games we won when we should’ve dropped points because of his 8-9 out of 10 performances.

 

[stevefloyd]

@LarryGrayson ?

Sorry to be the one who breaks it to you but poor Larrys dead

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

What time do we think?

 

[Cally Fedora]

Dovin is a fantastic keeper. His form when he got injured was brilliant. If he comes back the same way we’ll be building a Brighton like goalkeeping dynasty

 

[covcity4life]

What time do we think?

There is no rush (worth)

 

[SkyBluePower]

All the Twitter “£30M is too much” rabble have now been shut up over the fee but now they all have their suspicions about buy back clauses.

 

[ovduk78]

What time do we think?

The store & race experience closing today at 6pm, maybe shooting some stuff with Rushworth?

There was even some clown on Skyblues fancast claiming that it was reported that Brighton wanted £40m

There was one at home against QPR I think when at 0-0 he stopped certain goal somehow. We then scored a winner with virtually the last kick of the match. It's not on that YouTube bunch of saves

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Travers as a backup keeper isn't a bad idea mind

 

[AOM]

I think there's a bit of recency bias there. Dovin is better than slightly above average.

Yeah, I think it's been so long since anyone last saw him play it's difficult to remember if he was any good or not.
I recall when he got injured at Sheffield United, some thinking that was our chances of the play offs over.

 

[LastChance]

Yes, me for one. I'm worried now that he may never come back
