Will do. Another great save from Placide. Surely must be considered for our next game?

One would hope so. If Queensy comes in then we will only be able to have one of the loan keepers in the squad. Perhaps he will be on the bench again and the Wolves guy may get a game?

Official club Twitter account. Now 2-1 up, the same trialist scored again (Osei assist). Placide's made a great save and Osei had a goal disallowed.

Thank you. I'm not on Twitter. If you have time to post final doings then I'd be very grateful!

He's played 53 of his 150 games in Ligue 1 Been on the bench a lot in Ligue 1 too nearly 100 times.

Rough count

 

4 games Le Havre       2008/9

4 Games Stade Reims 2012/13

4 Games Stade Reims 2013/14

22 games Stade Reims 2014/15

2016/17 he was in the Guincamp squad in Ligue 1 6 times from Jan to June.

 

His Ligue 1 record:

15/16 Pld 19 Conceded 23. Av 1.21 per game

14/15 Pld 22 Conceded 33 Av 1.50

13/14 Pld 4 Conceded     5 Av 1.25

12/13 Pld 4 Conceded     6 Av 1.5

08/09 Pld 4 Conceded     7 Av 1.75

 

To be fair, his international record is pld 33  conceded 44.  and that includes conceding 7 against Brazil last year.

The crowds he plays in front of are better than most teams in League 1. Looks preferable compared to Carlisle away on a Tuesday 

Fewer people killed in civil unrest in Carlisle.

Played quite a few games in the top French league so should be a decent signing.

From his wikipedia page I thought it was all French division 2, have I read that incorrectly? 

and on this site too

Is anyone else worried about the number of non-contact injuries that we have, including someone injured in the warm up?

I disagree.  I think it's incredibly amateurish in this day and age not to have a sub keeper in the professional game, where you can name seven subs, only three of which can be used,  It makes no sense not to have the insurance of a back up in case the first choice is injured or sent off.  Imagine how fucking stupid we'd look if Wilson got injured in the warm up tomorrow.  The game would be lost before kick off.

Indeed

I think Kettings was injured for that game, he picked up a knock for a couple of weeks.

 

Having only 1 keeper for a game or two isn't that bad, only having 1 for an entire season is plain stupid.

It was about 3 games, and Kettings wasn't injured. Shez was quoted as saying basically that "I've spoken to Chris and he understands why I'm doing this". Now I do of course accept that Shez knows a lot more about footy than I do, but that seems to be a very strange decision to me. The risk v reward ratio for  a 7th outfield sub (especially some of the ones that we were choosing from) v a spare keeper doesn't seem to stack up from where I am.

Not a chance we won't have another keeper in by the deadline. Calm down.

Yes, it's totally normal to have only one keeper in for the first month of the season. Nothing to see here...

it's an amazing situation to be in. I hope that he doesn't have any accidents / illness just before a game. 

And that he doesn't get sent off. Or throw a tantrum and refuse to play for us after being upset by Twitter comments. etc etc

What concerns me and everyone on here is that we are two weeks into the season and we only have one senior goal keeper who we do not regard as a number 1.

it's an amazing situation to be in. I hope that he doesn't have any accidents / illness just before a game. 

It would be nice to have more than 1 goalkeeper, whoever they are. May possibly come in useful at some point...

In fact - he didn't even have the goalie in front of him.... 

 

Enjoy. 

 

 

 

I'd forgotten that. Even Danny Boshell would have scored from there...

The fact that you have now replied to 5 times to a post you say has no point , expresses no opinion and makes not one iota of difference suggests that my point has well and truly been made

Do the words "downwards" and "spiral" mean anything to you? Let go.

He also went to Notts County and produced relegation form.

What's wrong with you at present? Did we forget your birthday? 

Is the goalkeeper the German trialist or another one?
