It's too late . Our keeper this season will be either Hemming or Howes . On yesterday's showing Howes is the better keeper .

I would have thought that we could still send Hemming back before the end of the month or before the transfer window closes
God knows what Richie will do for Tuesday as far as our ‘keeper is concerned.
Hemming needs to get yesterday out of his system and try and show us that he is a decent ‘keeper.

Do people know for a fact that Ling picks the players to actually sign? It's up to Richie when all is said and done...if Richie doesn't want his he wont take him.

You could tell from the off Saturday that he wasn’t up to it certainly not that game anyway. It may of been a blip however his command of the box, positioning and handling were poor to say the least,we don’t know about his shot stopping, he never got the opportunity.however it maybe a one off and I would play him Tuesday, if only to get his confidence up. As for Sweeney unfortunately the lad try’s very hard but he’s just not good enough and never has been. We desperately need a LB and a decent CF. Kelman can play out wide but when moved into the middle he just can’t hack it imo.

He looks good to me when the ball is in front of him. He looks vulnerable to me when the ball is played behind him and/or he comes up against a decent player with the ball at his feet.

TJ is probably not as athletic as Sweeney but is rarely beaten by his opponent and is much more capable with the ball in my mind.

With James on the bench it makes the signing of a right back over a left back all the more odd.

In the highlights he gifted them a chance that was horrifically missed by their centre forward.

No that was bad defending, got caught and was muscled out when he should have put the ball out. Trouble with Sweeney is he alway looks for the back pass,doesn’t run forward into space for attacking options.

Reaching the FA cup semi final in '78 would have helped
