Mr_Maz 2,899 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 hmm, there was a notable edit after CW's joke about Coburn being the team captain, and that you don't loan your captain out. Possibly something being held back for tomorrows papers? Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I still have it in my head that we're after a goalkeeper, but as I said previously, I think it'll be at the 11th hour, and it'll be a loan. I don't know who, but it does feel like the obvious weak link in the team now. Dom Shaw made a good point on the Gazette podcast that publicly courting a goalkeeper is a dangerous game, because if it doesn't come off, you're left with a player (Lumley in this case) starting but knowing that he isn't really fancied, and that could harm his motivation. So I think it'll only happen if we're 100% sure we can get the player in, which is why I think it'll be late this week. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Logical, who realistically would people want Darlow from the Geordie's be a good shout, or just imagine hart from Celtic ha 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Naisby 736 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 A solid experienced goalkeeper at this level or above, who is looking for a club to become the established No1 but is happy to compete with younger lads to the betterment of all. i have no idea of any names that would fill the bill, I just know what I want. Examples of the type of keeper I want are Stephen Pears, Mark Schwartzer, Mark Crossley. Link to post Share on other sites

Good scoop, I'll not even pretend I'm bothered if it's true. He's looked dreadful every time he's played and it frees up a spot. Link to post Share on other sites

Only really Fodringham that was older. as a common trait it looks like they nearly all played for England u21’s. Link to post Share on other sites

I'd be having a look at getting in Louie Moulden from Wolves on loan til end of the season. He's in the England under 20s squad Link to post Share on other sites

He's in the England under 20s squad I am not fully convinced we will make a move for a keeper. Lumley has 9 cleans sheets in 20 concedes every 130 minutes. It’s not world beating but it’s above average for this division. The issue is you know he will cost us a few points. I think Woodman. Fits the criteria, out of favour and with experience- even if with mixed reviews. Not linked to us but Jaros at Liverpool is one to watch. Link to post Share on other sites
scotty189 932 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Gunn from Norwich would be decent, but think he played the weekend for them, so probably a bit unrealistic Link to post Share on other sites

SouthernSmoggie 4,242 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Been a while since Lumley sha* the bed to be fair. Although we were saying that right before he single handedly lost a game... Link to post Share on other sites
