On average the defence concedes 2 a game with an experienced keeper in goal for most of the season. The last thing we need is an inexperienced keeper at this level. Actually last night was our 7th 2-1 win of the season including both against Exeter! Fair play to Walker, he seems to be getting better with each game. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LightDN123 592 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 It’s still embarrassing we have the MK Dons goal keeper coach in goal for us, making EFL his debut at 31. Professional we are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lee Sinnott2 120 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I'm far from convinced by him and it does seem to take him two, or sometimes three, attempts to keep hold of the ball and his saves seem to be parried back into danger areas, but he is probably worth a deal for next season and doubling him up as a GK coach...

Yes that's a good shout, Tony Book was some player. City's most successful captain pre-the modern era. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
