Who would you have in goals after Gunn?

You mean appointment? He's not an experiment 😂

Aye, appointment, but you knew that’s what “experiment” meant in this context. Pedantry over terminology when there’s an actual point being made is hardly much of a contribution.

One of the other keepers Clarke developed over his long tenure when he switched up his team in all the friendlies to allow new faces to get experience.

What do you mean he wasn't astute enough to do that?

I'd give Bain a shot.

Its hard to know whether this would be a good idea or not.

Ive heard people that know say that Gunn is the better goalkeeper. Ive also heard the same people say that Bain is better with his feet.

Given our experience last year, having a keeper thats good with their feet can certainly help with the system Poconogli wants to play.

If Bain is better with his feet, can he really be much worse than Gunn at catching it? It always feels like Gunn is a second slow going down to everything and his poppadom wrists are difficult to ignore.

That said, if teams keep cutting thru us like a knife thru butter, does it matter who we play in goals?

Maybe Lennon could get a shot there? 😆😆😆

It feels like he’s slow to react to almost every shot at or near him, while those hit directly at him too often seem to go straight through him. At least 2 or 3 of the goals we conceded across those four games came directly from these obvious weaknesses. Can we bring Gordon out of retirement?!

Off-topic. Sorry.

Liam Kelly should have stayed with us, or gone to a team where he'd be starter. Then he might have been a viable option instead of head cheerleader on the bench.

Kelly couldn't catch the cold he was terrible at cross balls. 

Never an international keeper in a month of Sundays.

We were his leval . Liked him when he played with us.

I couldn't have coped a minute longer with having to watch Liam Kelly cosplay at being a goalie.

As good as he was when he first came in end times Liam Kelly is one of the worst goalies we've had.
