Allsop is a decent distributor, but his keeping isn't great let's be honest, if it wasn't for Rosie's stubbornness he'd have been dropped long before season end. While it shouldn't have been said in a public forum what Acun said was spot on.

And lets not forget, Pandur is in the building and none of us know how good he is with his feet or hands for that matter.

Pandur isn’t good enough, thats why Allsop kept his place.
 
Not going to argue now about what Allsop did or didn't do because we've done that to death, but the problem with this populist thing of just getting rid and getting in a basic shot-stopper like we had in the good old days, is that we've appointed another modern manager who supposedly wants to play football, use his keeper in the buildup and have him playing way high up the pitch in possession, so this problem isn't going to go away. Either Acun and the moaners get their way and Walter has some clogger forced upon him, or we use Allsop or someone else like him.

We already have Slater.

Oh wait Roseys gone.
 
When you frame it like that, nobody would want that clearly. But Rosenior wanted Allsop, and I think there's a pretty good chance Walter would too if he gets the choice. Either way, he's said to choose his goalkeeper based on his build-up play first and foremost because it's so important to the style.

It wasn't like Allsop was first choice though as a recruit last summer though, we went from Darlow to Heaton to Kovar to probably a few others and then Allsop. Had we have signed any of those first 3, we make the playoffs.
