On loan keeper always mean lack of ambition

Post by Eggski »

Said last year, had the 6th best keeper on loan from Swindon, didn't set the world on fire. So this year the same again.... Can not understand why we have done it again. Lack of ambition . Keeper looked awful today, wow

Yup there's two positions we needed to push the boat out to get quality, we got a loanee and a youth player who didn't even play today

1) GK
2) El Miz replacement

Exactly. If we had bought a player that is El Miz’s equal he would have been the first name of the teamsheet. Our El Miz replacement didn’t even kick the ball today. Our new goalkeeper gave them two goals. You can’t judge after one game and perhaps Warrington is injured but it’s hard to shake that feeling that our transfer window was rpoor and this season is going to be one big long struggle.

Will be interesting to hear from Richie on the status of Warrington and Simpson, who was missing from the squad entirely and you'd fancy to be a first choice if fit

Saw Simpson walking along with Moncur before the game by the south stand.

No judgement on the keeper himself, but a serious club can’t have an on loan keeper as the No.1. Not fair on anyone, that. And if you’re not certain of his quality, the uncertainty of a loan exacerbates all the issues. I don’t see how an on loan keeper can grow into the role and organise a defence etc

Exactly my point, had we of kept him we would have been promoted and the argument of the loan keeper not being good enough would hold no weight.

Is Moncur injured or is one our highest paid, most experienced players just being left out of match day squads entirely because he’s not up to league 1 football?

At last if true. Let him get away with being unfit and out of shape for too long
