    Proven better than O’Donnell based on? I’m not saying you’re wrong or that Logan isn’t the better keeper, but how are you comparing them? Didn’t you (and many others) rate O’Donnell when he signed? And I don’t recall many complaints about him when he was keeping us in games last season. The knives only came out when his confidence took a battering and he kept making mistakes in the last 2-3mths

    He's just one of a number of keepers currently playing in League 2 thats better than O'Donnell. I listed a number of them in a previous thread on this very subject.

    well, the basis is that Logan is good and OD isn't.

    definitely not. I genuinely don't rate Richard O'Donnell, and I think there's plenty better, even at our level.

    Somebody posted the other day that o'donnell was rated 4th in a start he had seen up to Xmas so that means there was at least 3 better keepers up to then and we all know what happened after Xmas so how many more went above him.

    How are the 2 even nearly comparable? What an absurd comment. Is O’Donnell some cancer ripping the clubs soul out? For what it’s worth I called Rahic out after Rotherham away in Jan 2018 and was ripped to shreds in and out of the stadium.

    He is supposed to command his area. Yes he had crap in front of him but he gave them even less confidence

    But there’s a difference sunshine. With Edin, most couldn’t see what was happening, even when others warned them (I include myself in that).

    But we see the same as Ricc with regard O’Donnell and simply don’t agree with his view. Have you been swigging from the same bottle he drinks from? The one marked WUM?????

    I think you need to re-read that earlier post. The stat wasn’t that O’Donnell had the 4th best figures in L1 (meaning 3 L1 keepers were rated better). The stat was comparing all keepers, so he was the best keeper outside the Premier League, based on that stat.

    Yes, his form fell away, but claiming he’s gone from a top rated L1 keeper at the end of December, to an average L2 keeper is frankly ridiculous....!

    Have you spoken to Bowyer to ask why? Maybe he saw how much his confidence had taken a battering and wanted to take him out of the firing line? It happens Park- but you have no knowledge as to why he was removed....!

    I'm sure time will tell but let's keep blaming the defence which he was part of. You do know that the goalkeeper can use his hands and arms they are not just for waving about like he did most of the time. Sunshine

    No, a loss of form doesn't make a bad player but some of the excuses to defend him are ridiculous.

    How can you blame the quality of the defence for his poor performances and then talk about about what a brilliant first half of the season he had. It's not like he had Van Djik and Ramos in front of him until January.
