Royce is responsible for bringing in all these crap keepers, and in any other field of work, he'd get the sack.
Not everything that's going wrong is his fault, but these rubbish goalkeepers are

I thought that Simon had left already for
a new job

We're unde onto his fourth keeper and so far it's 3 bad ones, the club are getting GK recruitment all wrong.

One senior pro and the academy keeper as backup. If the academy can't produce even a reserve quality GK then it needs to go as well

The new keeper coach is from Bishop Stortford!! We are going to struggle big time this season all over the park. Unless RW can pull off a miracle this could be a season worse than when we were relegated to the conference.

Our goalkeeper coach and goalkeepers are as useful as last season’s corners coach.

Add that one up and he can't seem to get the formation right let alone stick with one

I do pray that Ricky will sort this but like I said the recruitment process was dog

Can’t compare Brynn with the total veggies of this season.

He was poor, we've just managed to sign the keeper even further down the pecking order

For a young inexperienced keeper, Brynn was very decent

Not sure many would agree with you. Brynn was okay

Good shot stopper but shaky when dealing with crosses into the box.

Brynn wasn’t perfect but he was 100 times better than what we have now.

He has his moments of madness but generally he didn’t look out of place in a league 1 side.

Of the 4 gks we currently have we already know that 2 of them shouldn’t be anywhere near a league 1 starting line up (Hemming & Howlers), one of them is presumably miles off if as well (Byrne) and our last hope is another loanee who is untested….

Barely even that once you delve into the stats. There's a great thread on the other forum showing how low his save percentage was. A definite downgrade on Vigs and only looks moderately decent when compared to the current incumbents performing even worse somehow

not many fans will agree with you. he was okay. never let us down. couple of mistakes in matches near the end of the season. Stats are stats

On Brynn - was a below average L1 goalkeeper, sure. He wasn't losing us games every week. If the keeper situation isn't sorted it's hard to see a way out of a relegation place.

He trains the keepers and has an opinion , but RW clearly stated that Martin and him had looked at so many keepers in the summer and all were too expensive . Can’t blame Royce

Shame we couldn’t have got Alsop . He just sits on the Birmingham bench each week

Even on the second goal, why was Howes 400 miles out of his goal . Nuts

So yet again it’s all down to insufficient funding, major investors need urgently or we will be lucky to survive the drop.

The Buck stops with the manager as final discussions are made imo

Still here...he's still first team GK coach.

Agreed. Could easily say yes or no to every signing.

He was waiting for Currie to head it back to him but he let it bounce and go off his knee. Not Howes' fault in the slightest. NEVER let it bounce when in the CB position or covering a CB.
