    I am starting to get nervous already about Saturdays game and one of my main concerns is who do we play in goal. For me Jak has been reasonably reliable when called upon but we know he has his moments. I think he was instrumental in our first goal at Derby and couldn't do much about the two goals on Tuesday night. On the other hand Greegsy commands his area better but will he be fit? It's going to be a disappointing week for someone but who should Brucie put in goal? I personally would prefer a fit Jak than a 90% fit Greegsy. Jakupovic also appears to have more passion and really relishes the opportunity to play. I'm glad it's not my decision.

    Jak is capable of stopping absolutely everything thrown at him, as he did at Arsenal.

    He's also capable of letting absolutely everything in.

    Greegsy has bad days, but on balance, if he's fit, he's the better goalie.

    He also looks angry and shouts all the time, which I like in a goalie.

    Has to be McGregor if he's fit.

    He's got to be 100% though.

    I don't think a keeper necessarily needs to be 100%... Can't see them doing a hammy or anything like that... still, glad it's not my call!

    Nah even at 90% he's a better goalie.

    Jaks a lovely fella, but that's part of the problem for me. Need a nutter in goal.

    McGregor commands his box far better than Jak, you can see that the defence is more comfortable with him. Although Jak can make great saves he can also be dodgy as **** at times. I'd have Greegsy for sure if fit.

    No brainer really. McGregor is our No1 keeper,if he is fully fit he plays in goal.

    Agree but only if he's fully fit.

    A fit McG over Jak, but he has to be fit!

    Based on things that aid decision making like thoughts, prejudice, whim, fancy and stuff I'm definitely a Greegsie man. Much more commanding keeper. Jak's like a Yak in a China shop. A panicking pansy scared to plough in and break a few Lilliput Lane minitures, so to speak. He instills uncertainty and ponderosity in his defenders.

    Greegsie forever,
    Jako never.

    Jak for me every time. Much more agile and a better shot stopper. Brilliant on penalties. And he's fit and ready. My only concern was that his "nightmare game" a few years ago was against Wednesday and it may be in his mind. And they will be well aware of it too. If McG is not 100% its a no-brainer. Back injuries are nagging things which certainly hamper free movement.

    Has to be McGregor if fit, but if not then Jak is a reasonable number 2.

    If Greegs is fit I'd go with him. Always looks more solid to me, especially under crosses and of course the defence has had much more time with him as custodian, which should = more defensive cohesion.

    Jak didn't have much to do away at Derby but a couple of crosses came into our box were he tried to punch them and didn't have a clue were the ball was otherwise he did ok but Greegs for me.

    I'd play jak ,only if Mcgregor fails to respond to back treatment, contracts mrsa, has both legs, his right arm and three fingers off his left hand amputated .
    In the unlikely event this should happen, I'm sure jak won't let us down. .. well more hopeful! Decent shot stopper, rest of his game has room for improvement.

    Sheffield Wednesday must know Jak can be ultra nervous under pressure whereas McGregor will be calm and swat them away. Just hope McGregor doesn't go crazy for a second.

    Both are decent keepers, with a touch of madness. No 1 plays the big games, so Mac it is. No problem with Jak, though.
