A good Goalkeeper please! 15:39 - May 31 with 2602 views | Scrappy2020 | We won't get anywhere without a decent keeper,Bazuna had the worst shot to goal ratio in the league and is too young,Leicester lost Schmical and went down,Leeds had problems and went down while Everton had Pickford and stayed up,how many times had McCarthy been beaten at the near post and is not good enough,.It doesn't matter who the manager is or what the team is we have to have a goalkeeper who can sometimes win us a match!! | | | | |
A good Goalkeeper please! on 15:50 - May 31 with 2574 views | Ifonly | I agree. I don't have any fondness for keepers but I think they are the most undervalued position (apart from AM who is vastly overvalued). Strikers (2 or 3 per team per match) cost big bucks, but keepers (often 1 all season) don't cost much. Plus there is no position where experience counts as much as it does for keepers. Many have played at the top level in their late 30s. We should have signed Sam Johnstone last year. | | | |

A good Goalkeeper please! on 17:05 - May 31 with 2519 views | A1079 | I recall Lawrie McMenemy saying he had had a conversation with the West Ham manager at the time (era of great managers in the old first division) who said that a good goalkeeper can give you 20 points a season (and I think it was 2 points for a win then). McMenemy said that on the back of that he signed Peter Shilton - the following season we finished 2nd behind Liverpool in the league. | | | |

A good Goalkeeper please! on 09:30 - Jun 1 with 2327 views | SonicBoom | ME is hardly a crowd favourite but I'm not even sure he was our worst player! Adam Armstrong offered pretty much nothing. Che Adams glaring misses were quite extraordinary. If he had managed to finish even 2 or 3 of them we would have had a good chance of staying up. That miss at Wolves is still burned into my brain. Aribo contributed nothing of any note. I could go on and on. | | | |
A good Goalkeeper please! on 13:19 - Jun 2 with 2210 views | areasix | Dean Henderson has just been released by forest back to Man Utd I seem to remember he was a very good keeper, maybe he just wants a new start in the Championship. | | | |
A good Goalkeeper please! on 13:29 - Jun 2 with 2200 views | saints__fan__73 | Johnstone would have been a great signing last season. He ended up going to Palace to be their back-up keeper but is far superior to anything we have and is in the latest England squad. | |

A good Goalkeeper please! on 13:35 - Jun 2 with 2193 views | felly1 | Agreed, Bazunu might be good in 5 years time but we need a big experienced keeper. Last season the goalkeepers at Saints were neither ready or good enough for Premier league football and I fear they're not good enough for the Championship either. | | | | Login to get fewer ads
A good Goalkeeper please! on 17:02 - Jun 2 with 2126 views | SFC_Referee | Yeah well I don’t get why we didn’t go for Henderson or Pope, as we could’ve probably have gotten Pope from Burnley the season before they went down, as he’s been doing great for a while now. And how we didn’t go for Henderson as well, as he’s far from happy at Man U, so if we had stayed up could’ve probably have gotten him, but even with us going down could probably get him on loan and he sure would be a good signing for us. | |

we have been crying out for a good keeper for agues, Forster may well have been it given another chance but no Its just another nail in the coffin of our atrocious transfer business which ultimately has led to where we are today | | | |
