Unless you compare it to Fraser Forster, who managed 24 clean sheets last season.

You said the Scottish League was Mickey Mouse last week. You can't now decide that 24 clean sheets means something!

Guzan is tosh though.

Dorus de vries from Swansea would of been ideal always been a good championship goalie, i wonder if we could of got him as first choice instead of him going to Wolves as back up

He could've been first choice at Swansea! I think he'll play at Wolves. Hennessey always gets dropped or injured at some point during the season.
 
The goalkeeping situation is a tad worrying, I expected either Mannone on loan or Guzan would've been one of the earlier signings.

I still think we made a bad call on letting Duke go...
 
The problem with comparing "clean sheets" is that is very dependent on the quality of the defenders around the keeper.
I thougt Guzan did OK and of the names banded around on this thread he seems the most likely option. Would very much like to see Manonne though. I wonder if our scouting network abroad is up to much as I'm sure that in France, Portugal or Holland, (perhaps less high profile leagues) a good Championship level keeper could be found for reasonable money.

yes but his 24 were in a Joke League. so they dont count.

I am happy for Mark Oxley to be No.2 the lad needs to move up now and show what he can do. Macclesfield game is perfect for that. I expect the No.1 to be one from Brad Guzan - Fraizer Forster - Matt Gilks - Thomas Kusiak et al.
 
Weale would be a great number two. I think he's on a free too? Or maybe in his last year of a contract?

Foster would be a great number one, but I ideally I'd like a number one in on a perm.
