Rushworth or Wilson (4 Viewers)

[robbiethemole]

Keepers are a strange one as you essentially need 1x excellent GK and either 1x average GK happy to sit on the bench until needed or 1x excellent GK that is happy to fight for the no 1 spot or happy to sit on the bench. There's not many that fit the latter category

Viktor Johansson was available last season which was an achievable transfer but he fits into the 1x excellent GK category and not sure he would've suited; he wants no 1 all the time and he's doing well at Stoke at the moment

From what I've seen I'm not convinced by Rushworth but Wilson is no better. Looking forward to when Dovin is back!

Aled had all the badges.
Russel Slade had all the badges.

Cech has all the trophies.

Do we need someone who can measure progressive passing stats and nutrition intake or whatever they give badges for or do have enough of them and need a coach on the team who goalies will look up to, knows how to set up a wall, where to stand for corners, when to come for crosses and who might just be in Frank’s contact list.

Just saying….,,

Was Oggy not involved in the Aled appointment in terms of making a recommendation? I don't remember now.

What about someone really tall? Someone with a playing background in the local area perhaps. Doesn’t have to be a keeper.

That the best you can do?
Yes, I happened to (about 5 years ago) question the wisdom of spaffing a big chunk of our minuscule wage budget on a 33 year old Waghorn when we didn’t need that type of player.

It turns out we wasted a big wad of money on him.

I’ll own being correct there.

Instead I suggested a minuscule fraction on a big local lad who the signed for a higher placed champ side, got an assist against us but then didn’t make it but at least did t cost the earth.

I liked the idea of a big lunk being used to get on the end of Hamer crosses in the last 10 mins (if he could be coached blah blah blah)

It didn’t work out.

But I’ll maintain I was right. We spent about a million quid on Waghorn.

So if you are trying to be a smart ass to cover the fact you haven’t got a better retort then go you.

You are so very smart.
