I like him to keep the ball from going into the net. He should be able to command the box and direct the defence at set-pieces. Anything after that is a useful bonus. We didn’t worry about McGregor until last season. He hasn’t suddenly lost his attack building skills. He never had them. He is leaking goals. That’s why his cup-final cameo should have been his last appearance. Expand Positional roles change. Goalkeepers now have to do so much more. We're limited if we continue with a pure shot-stopper. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a medium to long-term solution, though, and most supporters don’t do medium to long-term. The foe is only three titles behind. Soon it will be two. Can we wait? Expand Records don’t really bother me I would rather our team be remembered for winning with skill and style playing the game the way it should be played sometimes watching our team these days gives me no pleasure and the longer it goes on no hope if we keep bringing in duds ,let’s give the lads a chance. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CammyF 9,493 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Reading elsewhere that our biggest fee for a keeper was Jesper Christiansen - that's some stat if correct! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my contention that a sweeper-keeper rather than a shot-stopper would better support the team. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
compo 8,098 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Remember many years back big Haffey got the blame for a dreadful defeat at Wembley yet next day the papers never mentioned our crap defence that day if we had decent defenders we could help safeguard the keeper 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fullbacks were Shearer and Caldow! The half line was Mackay, McNeil, McCann. Definitely Haffey’s fault.
