    Some going is that to relegate two sides all on his own.

    I think we'll see what he's made of this season now he's got someone pushing him for his place. If he fails, from the limited amount I've seen of Hornby we've a more than adequate replacement.

    Hornby appears to be a lot better than your typical number 2 in the mould of Ben Wilson. I reckon it'll be a straight shoot out between the 2 and it wouldn't surprise me to see Bowyer go with his own man.

    Shows what happens when you have a goalkeeper being a goalkeeper rather than a goalkeeper player/coach also having an organised defense with confidence in front.

    Goalie coach for majority of pre season and some genuine competition. He has started very well. Long may it continue

    I know they're not the team they once were but I'm surprised a Man U goalie would have enough shots to stop to head that particular stats list.

    Not enough shots? They were horrendous last season. Teams were taking shots for fun at times.

    No not really. Just a bit surprised out of 92 clubs he had to save the most shots. The more I think about it the more I think it can't be right. Unless all the relegated clubs continually changed their keepers - maybe that's it.

    To be fair Stuart promoted him to the first team because of his performances pre season he was singing his praises. And he looked like a world beater at first.

    As @bantam2708@bantam2708 says no Wyke that day so Omari stepped up but it still doesn't excuse the fact the Mr I know football gave him a 3 year deal on the back of that goal.

    I've sent you a pm.

    Did Omari Patrick have a good half a season first though? Has Vaughan proven in his career that he’s the better player?

    Comparing two players with equal records is harder to judge than 2 with contrasting records. I’ve not said you are wrong to suggest we shouldn’t replace O’Donnell. I’ve said you’re delusional if you think we can get a better, PROVEN, keeper to come play in L2. You’ve still not been able to provide one name that is proven to be better than what we have

    He was promoted to the first team and played the first few games because
    this one


    Bradford CityEdit
    He signed a one-year contract with Bradford City in May 2017.[12] Following some "impressive" performances in pre-season friendlies, Patrick was praised by Bradford manager Stuart McCall.[13] He started the first game of the 2017–18 season, scoring the winning goal.[14][15] Following an "impressive start" to the season, Patrick signed a new three-year contract with the club in August 2017.[16] He was dropped from the first-team halfway through the 2017–18 season, and also suffered a knee injury.[17]

    You can’t be serious. Conrad Logan is a proven goalkeeper that’s playing in League 2. He’s better than O’Donnell.

    Please don't tag me again, I'm not interested in replying.

    Just disagreeing with your viewpoints is enough to assure me that I'm not completely clueless and every now and again I might be half right with a point I'm making.
