Keith Waugh?
Keith Waugh?Comfortably the best we've had since KW
To be clear it will never happen but...I’ve seen it all. A Cov fan on twitter asking if Tuchel can call him up for England
There's no reason why he can't continue where he left off. If / when he is ready he will play in the cup, and may even get a few league appearances towards the end of the season if we are in a position to do that without too much risk.Dovin was our #1 keeper and getting plenty of plaudits...the future looked genuinely bright for him, Cov, and Sweden.
A bizarre injury, which turned into an ACL, keeps him out for 9 months.
In the meantime, we loan in what turns out to be a fantastic replacement, with talks of trying to make things permanent.
Chances are he'll become #2 choice now, and if he's unhappy with that, will look for a transfer away.
It just shows you how fickle fate is, and why footballers often take the money option in their short term career...one injury can hugely change the direction of your career.
Or if be bides his time and trains well, he could even dislodge Rushworth as number one if he puts in good performancesThere's no reason why he can't continue where he left off.

Some game time would make sense, especially if Rushworth is still a Brighton player at the end of this window, because if we haven't got an option to buy that probably means we won't get him, or at best it would mean we wouldn't be negotiating until the Summer. And anyway I doubt either keeper would be happy as a no.2Or if be bides his time and trains well, he could even dislodge Rushworth as number one if he puts in good performances
Take it no one knows if he's back in full training then? Seems unlikely he will play Vs stoke in the cup then
Good to hear how head-screwed-on Lampard is.Interview with Dovin. Feel sorry for him. Hope he gets through this.
What does Lampard say to you now? Do you talk a lot?
- No. We've talked a little here and there. But his focus is of course on the team. He is a very good coach and from my point of view, he always has a very big focus on the next game, says Dovin and continues:
"It doesn't feel like he's enjoying our victories that much. I can see that he is happy when we have won, but the next day the focus is on the next game. The team is doing well now and I think he has a lot to think about. His focus is where it should be and I have to take care of my part.
This is the problem, 2 great keepers, both young, both gonna want to push on in their careers, neither will really want to sit on the bench and be happy about it.Some game time would make sense, especially if Rushworth is still a Brighton player at the end of this window, because if we haven't got an option to buy that probably means we won't get him, or at best it would mean we wouldn't be negotiating until the Summer.

Obviously for the step up if we do go up it'll be an issue, but the shade that gets thrown at Wilson is unbelievable. Hes a capable, not great, but capable, Championship/L1 keeper. Hes been happy to sit and make up numbers, train, get time as and when. Never moans, never kicks up a fuss, great moral around the dressing room. Didnt even kick up.a stick sat on the bench watching Collins gift goals at the back end of last season, and fuck me did he have every right to do so.
Granted, if we had to rely on him as back up in the PL id worry, but for what he's offered us in the championship he's been great. I cant see either Dovin or Rushworth doing the job he's been asked of him since he's been here and take it as well. He wins golden glove one season, replaced by a new No1 the next. Still, happy to be a servant and help where he can.
We'll be hard pushed to find a better keeper (PL quality) that'll be as happy to do the job being asked of him and sit behind Dovin next season.

Interesting interview.Interview with Dovin. Feel sorry for him. Hope he gets through this.
Wilson isn't PL quality. He's not even a top championship keeper. OK at best in this league, been very lucky to get the opportunities he has with us. It's time for him to move on.This is the problem, 2 great keepers, both young, both gonna want to push on in their careers, neither will really want to sit on the bench and be happy about it.

Cheap 3rd choice? Who are you expecting another possible starter who would be happy to sit in the reserves?Wilson isn't PL quality. He's not even a top championship keeper. OK at best in this league, been very lucky to get the opportunities he has with us. It's time for him to move on.
They are both young for a GK. Only one of them is coming back from a long injury. Rushworth is shaping up to be an excellent GK. If Dovin takes off from where he left he is exactly the same. Nobody has a crystal ball that works. If they did they would win the lottery every week instead of conning people out of a tenner a time.I’d argue he’s just as good if not better than Rushworth.
Dovin has certainly got better distribution as Rushworths is erratic.
That being said Rushworth’s cross taking and rushing out of his box is better than Dovins so it’s swings and roundabouts.
I think that Dovin has a higher ceiling and will defo improve. Whereas Rushworth is probably is at the height of his powers now.

It came from him recieving a sideways pass from I think Thomas, and Campbell continuing his press and Dovin chopping the ball the other way and getting taken outThey are both young for a GK.

IIRC the Dovin injury came from his distribution or lack of it. There's a good chance it will play on his mind when he comes back.
I agree on Wilson but being 3rd choice isn’t too outrageous, Scott Carson was Man City’s 3rd choice and he’s massively behind various 1st and second choice GKs.Wilson isn't PL quality. He's not even a top championship keeper. OK at best in this league, been very lucky to get the opportunities he has with us. It's time for him to move on.
