Our Goalkeeping Situation (1 Viewer)

[rupert_bear]

Heard nowt yet about the extent of Joe Murphy's injury other than he pulled a hamstring which could side line him for a week or months. So what might happen there then. Stick with the reserve Dunne or draft another in on loan. Hasn't one of our young keepers been loaned out

hes fighting to be fit fr saturday so i would imagine its 1-2 weeks max

 

[ccfc92]

we should have the lad who played against Reading last game of the 10/11 season. Quirk I think? He looked quality

 

[Sky Blue Sheepy]

He hasn't been ruled out of Saturday's game yet so here's hoping. Sorry for reiterating it but Dunn was woeful last night. 3 goals, last 2 errors by him imo and the 1 save he made was OTT to say the least.
We need Murphy as he rushes out to cover the Centre Back's. Hope it's nothing serious!

 

[scroobiustom]

Has Micky Quirke not left the club?

but their 2nd or 3rd goal, the crewe player walked through 5 defenders, and scored ffs

i think so, i just mean he shouldn't have left

 

[covcity4life]

still should have been stopped by keeper though

 

[rupert_bear]

So where is he then ? If he was that good he'd be in the news wouldn't he

He is BACKUP keeper for LEAMINGTON. Clearly not that good.

 

[scroobiustom]

Could always try and get Butland next season on loan - unlikely though.

He was released by Leamington....is second choice at Bedworth....

 

[cloughie]

seems the Murphy haters have gone quiet.

Dunne should have done better with at least 1 of those goals but will reserve judgement on the other one until I've see them again as he maybe should have done better with 2

 

[covcity4life]

he should defintley have saved the final 2 goals.

 

[wingy]

for the same reason as I stick up for Murphy ,who is a good goallie at this level i can't really condem Dunne for the failures further up the Pitch.While he may have been able to do better ,he was way overexposed.

Nope, still here

That said, its obviously hes the best option we have. I've never been a fan of either keeper. Scunny werent too upset when they lost Murphy and Northampton fans thanked us for taking on Dunn.

Ill reiterate whats been said before; should we go up, its definitely an area we need to invest in

 

[Steve.B50]

I thought there keeper was man of the man of the match last night, we should sign him up.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

There will be plenty of decent enough keepers in the loan market available if we decide to do so

I think the loan market opens tomorrow, hoping we may have a couple before Saturday. We all know Robins likes to do his business quickly and this could be the boost we need to bounce back from the Crewe game

Murphy is the only player in the squad who can be classed as capable in the championship. There are a couple of others who may be but are not proven to be so.

 

[torchomatic]

What's Gary Montgomery doing nowadays, I wonder?

 

[Steve.B50]

Grendel
For once I can agree with you.

 

[covboy9]

Lets get behind Dunne

 

[speedie87]

he gave up football and was playing second x1 cricket last i saw

I disagree. He was never a keeper that i thought was great in the Championship when at Scunthorpe, and yes he may not have been helped out much in his seasons in the championship with us but I still only rate him league one at best

 

[PVA]

Dunn really is crap.

I wonder if we'd have won last night had Murphy not gone off. Maybe not, but we wouldn't have lost by 3.

Murphy going off cost us all our defensive shape, I don't know if it was by design or by accident.

Oggy hasn't been coaching keepers all that time though. We have had Jim Blythe, Andy Dibble and Alan Hodgekinson among others.
