MAC0AFC Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 1 hour ago, Monty Burns said: Gone through about 720 degrees on Placide. Watched him in the warm up at Rotherham he had 86 shots taken at him and conceded 74 so I felt reasonably safe saying he was shit. Then he played and I loved him. Then I met him and he couldn’t speak a word of English, his kid did some translating, which worried me in terms of organising a defence. I also realised how small he is. Then some racist on here called me a liar and claimed to have had a full conversation with him ?? Then his mum died and he was shit again, but massive kudos for coming back so soon as we needed him. With hindsight this was a mistake. Then he picked up again for a couple of games either side of rochdale. Then saturday happened. Might have been me that, I was passing on what my mate had told me... that he speaks good English when they were in conversation after Bradford away, I ended up in hospital but was fairly sure this was what they said. Definitely not racist however. Agree with the rest, I’ve changed my mind so much on wether I like him or not - he has had a few absolute stinkers and cost us crucial goals, he’s also kept us in games. Would probably try to find better, if not... he’ll do for league two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have said ‘casual racist’ like Lee Sinnott and that other chap ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticMark Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Sell, especially if we can get a (small) fee for JP. Zeus could stay as back-up if there are no takers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he did well - we didn’t concede many goals? It was a problem up front last season. Do goalies score goals these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Plenty of good goalkeepers out there, you need to watch them regularly before signing. I suspect the club have taken some without even seeing them play in a competitive game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Told oafc and was told wasn’t interested just been named in team of the year I think. Andrew Fisher GK at Blackburn another one to watch just won premier league 2. Superb shot stopper.

Gary1906 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Connor Ripley back at Boundary Park would be what I would be striving for. Johnny has been pretty good and entertaining at times but Ripley was on a totally different level for us the season before. Ok he hasn’t been the same at Bury but we’ve seen his class first hand and he’s the best goalkeeper we’ve had for years. I’d be pulling out all the stops to get him. League 2 football might be the stumbling block though, as it probably will be for a lot of decent players that we might look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Appianus Athletice Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Consistently is key with a goalkeeper, unfortunately with placide he can either win you a game or loose you a game, not something that instills confidence in supporters or defenders , provided us with the spectacular but also the howlers, we need a goalkeeper not a pantomime act, sorry placide but I think we can do better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
