It is very poor and traditionally we have always had a good relationship with our goal keepers...one of the downsides of the Pozzo era and hyped up expectations probably. Social media fuels it so much..would have been interesting to see how G T would have handled it without much emphasis on the family club vibe in those days
Thing is Bond or anyone else they demand to play will do but not have a great game then that player will get a load of abuse because that is how football fans go these days Seems to be the same old ones picked out though .
Dan has won us several games this season by virtue of some great saves. Every player will make mistakes during a game, but the keepers are far more obvious. It is totally unfair to try and lay the blame when we lose on him.
Bachmann has improved over the last 18 months. His handling is much better and he is still a good shot stopper. His distribution still needs much work but better than it used to be.
Saw this on football finance, very funny and with the window now open fans will expect us to spend but moan about the debt at the same time: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1BXqVFeS9L/
I certainly don’t think he is one we must replace ASAP. Can think of others first . People talking about Dwomoh must play - ok fair enough but he did start at Swansea /Burnley where we were equally as poor in midfield so maybe it’s just a lack of options there which creates problems?
TC has already stated that some have to go - but stopped short of naming names, not unsurprisingly I suppose. Sema appears to one of them, but I wonder who the others are?
Bachmann out for a while . https://x.com/WatfordFC/status/1876236886974292309 Bond to cover and bring another keeper ?
“[Fellow young professional goalkeeper] Alfie Marriott has got a toe issue which needs surgery. Although it’s not ideal, we can put that off for a while, just to see this period through. “This next week or so will give us a chance to have a good look at Myles to see where he’s at after what’s been a positive experience for him.” I am sure this is a problem Tom could have done without. Good luck to Dan. Let us hope for a speedy recovery.
Yes he has . Was meant to be going on loan to Ross County but obviously might stay now . Chap will need to be ready if he does play as fans are going to judge him very quickly.
Ross County may not need him anyway. They signed a German keeper of the same age from Sheffield U this season, Jordan Amissah - just promoted him to number 1 keeper. He's only played in the last 4 games, but County have won 3 (away) and drawn the other (home) -- a remarkable defensive turnaround in which he has played no small part.
Bournemouth might be after a new striker or two if reports that their main 2 are out injured long term are right . Know of any ..?

I see our management record still gets trotted out . https://x.com/Millar_Colin/status/1877012561381523620
