I'm hoping Archer's injury turns out to be a blessing in disguise. Don't be too harsh on Marshall if he makes an error in his first game or two though, we need this to work and therefore have to get behind him.
We should sign Sierra Leone's Mohamed Kamara. Absolute baller, and judging by his performance vs Algeria could fill in in defensive midfield if we needed him too

i thought he played alright on Saturday , if not he was our 'cup hero' or am i missing something.

Agreed. Best wishes to Archer on his speedy recovery. Really feel for the bloke. Has to wait ages for his chance, probably been preparing for it for several months. Does a heroic dive to save a penalty to get us through to the next round and is now injured. I mean, terrible for us as its the very time we really need him but hardly his fault and the bloke must be sat in his hospital bed feeling really low. Am sure all true Rs fan wish him nothing but the very best.
I remember a young Marshall breaking through into what was then a very good Celtic side under Martin O'Neill. Celtic being his boyhood club.
Google / Wikipedia confirms my memory of European heroics, home and away against Barcelona apparently. I have not really tracked his career but I do remember one season with Cardiff (in the Prem?) when he seemed to save absolutely everything.
He won't be as good as Seny with the ball at his feet but I suspect he will be better at that than Archer.
I think he will be OK for the limited role we are asking him to perform. Welcome (back?) to the Hoops, David.
not sure if we paid a fee for marshalls transfer but it had got me thinking if this was a cheaper option to buy albeit with a contract to the end of the season than pay derby a loan fee and cover his wages which i guess he might be on more than we would have offered?
I'll do some research. I'm a mile away from Leixlip and my mates son is in the cabinteely squad. That's not the link I'd intended. Anyway our u23s have signed an Irish keeper from derby.

Sorry, could have been worded better. Not rubbishing Archer but he does look too casual with the ball at his feet and weak on crosses. Maybe, hopefully, Marshall will be an upgrade, he has a better cv, if he can still perform at or close to that level.
37 is not necessarily past it as a keeper. Experience and positioning counts for an awful lot and makes up for a slight loss in sharpness and agility, especially if you were a good keeper to start with.
At the very worst he's someone that Dieng and Walsh can learn off, and if he proves he still has it I wouldn't be surprised if we keep him here next season as no2, and send Walsh out on loan.
