Alex crook reckons Jason steel is having minor surgery so rushowrth is on the bench for Brighton this weekend

 

Well. I think it is. And I think a lot of people either just aren't looking at it, or don't think it's important. Many fans struggle with the modern game and all the passing about at the back. I think people switch off when that is happening and they think it's of no importance until we give the ball away.

Pandur simply can't even try the passes that we need a keeper to make at this level. Rushworth made one last night with his wrong foot into Slater in midfield and set us off on the attack. Those moments are important, but some people think they aren't. Being penned into our own goal mouth because our keeper can't find an out ball has definitely cost us points. Just because he usually doesn't directly give it to an opposing player who scores like against Leeds doesn't mean his distribution isn't holding us back. It is holding us back and he will almost certainly be replaced again either this window or more likely in the summer because of it.

 

If we’re not going to get the keeper on the ball more often it doesn’t matter, game just passed Rushworth by last night he could barely get involved or make any impact. Absolute passenger.

 

rushworth is a better keeper, theres no doubt about it
but hes gone now

some people are acting like pandurs prime neur, lets not fall into hyperbole
but hes alright

 

Don't disagree with your appraisal of Pandur, I just don't think we're in a position not to use the best players at our disposal in any given position, and I think Rushworth may have had the edge based on what we've seen in the past.

Not to say anyone's desperate to see Pandur dropped or replaced, just if we could get an extra percent or two out of that position, we should do.

 

We’ve potentially pissed off both goalkeepers that we actually own. Racioppi maybe not for much longer.

 

Helps with the problem of potentially having too many loans for the match day squad and potentially having to leave one out though, doesn't it?

 

if so we need them both to play at the same time

 

Every cloud .............................

 

I’m assuming it’s been last minute, all the signs were that ruahworth was staying. if we knew he was going back, why would we drop pandur and risk pissing him off.
In all honesty we didn’t need rushworth, we caused ourselves a problem by signing him. Pandur didn’t deserve dropping.

 

I agree with all of that, I've been saying it about Pandur all season. However you and I are in a tiny minority on here.

 

Some talk of an injury to one of their keepers. If that's the case, then It happens unfortunately.

 

Right decision in the short term, even though Oxford probably aren't relegation contenders anymore

 

he will almost certainly have a better contract at wrexham too

 

And no disrespect to Oxford, but it's on the face of it a much more exciting project to be a part of

 

wait till tom cruise buys us

 

It is, much as the love in with Wrexham gets on my tit's a bit, as a player you'd want to be a part of it. Good luck to the lad wherever he goes. Never been anything but professional.

 

if they get promoted this season, longman will get invited to party with reynolds in vegas

 

Tick tock.
Given where we're at, probably a decent, solid, sensible signing ... although yet another that will be short of match fitness.
From York, so maybe a decent chance of him coming?
But, can't help thinking we might as well have just kept Calum Elder!

 

Will he have to get a booster seat fitted in the directors box?
