By Preston. Would it be a good thing to bring him back.
Soz if already mentioned

Grendel · May 10, 2016

Why? As the treatment table is feeling sad and lonely now the cappuccino man has hobbled off to pastures new?

malkitccfc · May 10, 2016

Yes. He's not played much the past two seasons but hes been on the bench everyweek so he must have kept himself fit

Wyken Sky Blue · May 10, 2016

No, we don't need another keeper.

Not for me!

no_loyalty · May 10, 2016

I'd take Rob Green (released by QPR) instead

shy_tall_knight · May 10, 2016

No too injury prone

- that is aimed at Kirkland not Rob Green

Yeah I have to agree, but I think Burge might move on this summer, if he's not 1st choice
so will maybe need to bring someone in.

duffer · May 10, 2016

I'm not sure he's been injured that much over the last few seasons, has he? Just not first-choice at Preston as I understand it, but he had 84 appearances for Sheff Weds in his time there.

I'd like an experienced keeper to both support and challenge RCC. He has definitely improved this year but I think cost us a few games earlier on.

skybluesam66 · May 10, 2016

That would put RCC down to reserve - and he has come on so much, wouldnt want to stop his development, and there are so many more positions we need to fill first = so its a no from me

Why would it put RCC down to reserve, surely TM would select the best keeper
based on training and coaches say so . If that was judged not to be RCC then
that must be of benefit to the team.

stupot07 · May 10, 2016

We don't need another keeper unless Burge is moving on, RCC has really developed this season.

I'd like to have Joe Murphy back, just to hear him bollocking the defence. Doesn't have to play, he'll do it from the bench and we'd all still hear it. I love Joe Murphy.

steve82 · May 10, 2016

RCC I believe TM sees as a no1 so a player like CK at his stage of his career would surely only come to sit on the bench if he's going to do some sort of coaching role within the club.
Personally I think a young keeper aged 21-25 to push RCC would be better. I don't rate Lee Burge to develop much more personally.

Hobo · May 10, 2016

Agree with steve82

torchomatic · May 10, 2016

I agree with Hobo who agrees with Steve.

Oz Howie · May 10, 2016

Very rarely do GK in their early 20's stop developing. Still confident there's improvement left in Burge but he's definitely behind RCC.

i agree with gren............oh forget it

Hadji10 · May 10, 2016

Can we leave the Chris Kirkland thing now? He was shot to shit about 5 years ago.

This is true but I don't see him topping the level RCC is at now in his career

sw88 · May 10, 2016

Using Wigan as an example, I would prefer an experience keeper if we are going to challenge for promotion.

As part of their spending they got O'Donnell (I think it is) from Walsall, who in fairness dos have some decent games while on their books.

They however ended the season, and their fortunes clearly changed, with Jaaskalianen in goal. They gained promotion.

I do trust RCC and rate him highly (had a good chat with him at the awards night too), but in not sure Kirkland would be the best choice.

Gazolba · May 10, 2016

He's much better than RCC when he is fit. But the 'when he is fit' part worries me.

The Reverend Skyblue · May 10, 2016

Best keeper in this league In my opinion was that lad in goal for Southend who I'm sure is out of contract.

Bentley, got plenty of Champ sides after him think they turned down £2mil from Hull in January.

Best keeper I've seen at this level.

Deleted member 2477 · May 10, 2016

Best keeper i saw this season was Burtons. If he was available we should defo buy

Yes I've always rated him too! But out of our league (or atleast he will be when he comes out of contract. Will definately be championship suitors, if not higher)

steve82 · May 10, 2016

A stat on David Bentley he faced 6 pens and saved 4 of them. Top keeper in the making, championships a minimum for him

Gint11 · May 10, 2016

Sentiments there but no thanks. Kirkland is as injury prone as Johnson and Turner. As someone pointed out on another thread, I'd rather players with lesser ability but can play a whole season. RCC is good enough at this level.

No Way Back · May 11, 2016

Both our 2 young keepers have improved this season but are they good enough for a promotion challenging team or do we need a more experienced man in ? I like RCC but keeper is such an important position & if we got the right signing now it could save us a load of points next season.

Difficult for young keepers learning the game, player makes a mistake & gets over it but keeper makes a mistake & we're a goal down.

Gint11 · May 11, 2016

RCC recent displays has shown me he is good enough. If your defence is poor you put more pressure on your keeper. He did have a spell where he made school boy errors but MV and TM will work on that going forward with Oggy

Bury that thought....

Deleted member 2477 · Jun 27, 2016

Id have kirkland as no 1 anyday over rcc. Hes still to mistake prone and put the defence on the back foot with his rash passes to the back four. If we are serious about a promotion this season then building the defence on a solid keeper is a must

Astute · Jun 28, 2016

RCC is good enough for this level. He improved quite a bit last season. We have other players that are good enough for this level. But that is the problem.

How many times did we play well last season but didn't win because the other team had a GK that kept them in the game? If we can get players in that are above this level and not just good enough for this level we will have a chance of promotion. A good GK does much more than diving about and jumping to catch the ball. It is the much more that comes with experience.
