The fat kid with the glasses

 

Thanks Keefly, Fordy clearly not thinking logically, must be reeling from car washes having to close.

 

Starting to sounds a bit like someone has the green eyed monster where Ryan Sparks is concerned.

 

Yes my dripping nose failed to tell me he was no longer on Leeds books.
I'm happy with what he told me said Huffer was rated by Leeds.

 

You called.

 

Or Big Nev

 

A new keeper set to be signed today as cover for Hornby

 

I'm very worried about the goalkeeper situation. Hornby has never looked assured in the cup games. He'll make 2 or 3 saves and raises hopes, followed by letting in simple goals. And the back up is a reserve at Avenue who's played one cup game!

It reminds me of the time Edin had 2 back up, German goalies. When Doyle got injured they started shipping goals, were dropped/swapped and the defence lost all confidence. That let led into the winless streak losing McCall his job.

After the end of this window, we're stuck with the hand we've played. Back then we slipped to 6th. We're currently 4 points off relegation with no margin for error.

I hope the manager's faith in Hornby is justified and not simply a case of weak management. That is, not taking the decision to bring in a more experienced goalie for fear of upsetting the understudy. I hope my fears are unfounded.

 

Im guessing an outfield player. Just a guess though. Might not bother.

 

Me. I'll do it.

 

Maybe Guthrie would be good in nets,
After all he’s been helping opposition defences keep clean sheets since he signed for us.........
Ok tumbleweed moment, I’ll get mi coat!!

 

Oh... that'll be me then. ... though not quite a kid any more.

 

Wheres Dean windass when you need him.

 

Colin Doyle is 35 and was desperate to sign before and was shunted back up to Hearts.

hasn’t played since September, but might fancy a deal until end of the season.

i know its an ex player again, but we could do much worse. When O’D is back, would prob sit back on bench without kicking up too much of a fuss.

 

For a stand in/someone to keep hornby on his toes till the end of the season I think he would be fine. I think Hornby has a good opportunity to make his claim for the shirt now though. Was alright in the 1 game hes had just seemed a bit rash/eccentric. Having said that, I like a bit of the devilment in a goalie it makes them more interesting to watch

 

We had no sub keeper against Vale, Bolton have had no sub keeper in approximately 50% of their games, possibly more. Not sure if Harrogate had a sub when Belshaw missed 3-4 games or if they would have had last week when the No2 was injured, so wouldn't be unique if we only had one.
Having said that I would imagine Ryan has it covered.

 

What you mean you imagine Ryan would have it covered?

Hope Ryan isn't playing football manager. He should be nowhere! Nowhere! near deciding who comes into the club.

Sign things off, talk about budgets but deciding who comes in then no!

Ryan's role is off the pitch!

 

I'm expecting a young keeper from Leeds United to fill the vacant number Two,the tap might be mended but we will see if my dripping nose is correct.
