    Pray for Derek Adams to swoop, because the lad's contracted for next season...

    Woa , Woa, I didn’t write the comments about Bradford, I’m referring to a footballer who did exactly that , which WATT “ liked” . You need to read the thread again and then come back and apologise, including those that also read your comment and “ liked” your ridiculous response. That’s what happens when one doesn’t read the lead up context of a reply.

    For the record I did go “ elsewhere” .

    Too lengthy for my attention span. It won’t change my opinion on him however. He’s a risk and we can do better.

    Could we surgically put all three keepers into one, all have good and bad points and having six arms and legs could be useful . Still not a full brain between them though.

    And Bass is a bang average L2 keeper prone to errors.

    You are slightly off with your assessment of why Hornby was deemed a better keeper. It was widely acknowledged that ROD didn't command his box and was shit at coming for crosses. Hornby was better at those 2 things IMHO and that's why I wanted him in goal. No narrative as you suggest just my own observations.

    As for keeping conceding the same type of goals-well are we? ROD was regularly beaten from shots outside the box. When was the last long range goals(s) we have recently conceded?

    As has been said elsewhere all 3 are bang average keepers with differing skill sets-combine them and you have one decent keeper.

    Who would I have in goal now? Hornby.

    I bet it's not that interesting. Not enough to repeat the 10's of posts I've already made on the subject anyway.

    If you're that interested though there's a search feature within the site.

    Was that the classic line Jon although I suspect it was only part of it? The classic line was based around one was willing to come of his line therefore giving the defenders “confidence or reassurance “, whereas the other was always firmly stuck to his line leaving what we now know (hindsight) were poor defenders having to deal with crosses. That was my take on it.

    I think we have boiled it down to all three keepers were have in the first team squad are not very reliable in one form or another?

    As a man management thing, I would suggest that a quiet word and then possibly making a change is better than the public throwing under a bus.

    Both are capable IE not good, RoD is not useless, Just not as good as Hornby
