Ipswich won't have the inclination to go large on Greaves - ideally we need another to show interest with more fiscal muscle.

I'd like to see the 'hairy cornflake' TLT be given some time in the first team friendlies - see if he can make the transition and give us a break in the GK department.

Younger ones won’t get the hairy cornflake yjimg.<laugh>

I hope Greaves goes to a steady prem team. If not I hope he gets a reasonable relegation release clause in his contract.

Hopefully the club don't undervalue him like I think a few on here are. He's a fantastic player with a great attitude and a good head on his shoulders who will only improve with age.

No one seems to be addressing the elephant in the room here.

Regardless of what Acun thinks, the manager and his coaching staff obviously thought Allsop was a better keeper than Pandur; indeed Pandur's stock fell so low that he was pushed off the bench.

Yet it seems to be a given that he's going to be not only our number one keeper, but a top six one at that.


Optimistic at best, downright foolhardy at worst.

How do you know what "his coaching staff" thought? Have you spoken to them or have they spoken out publicly? Genuine question.
As per earlier post, I doubt very much it's all about Acuns personal view but far more likely the consensus view of his 'brains trust' group that includes the analysts etc.
Allsop was Rosenior's man and he maybe felt / had loyalty towards him.; maybe beyond what was rational.

The brains trust can be contacted in Ebeneezers before a game.

Erm. You called out Ernie for speculating on what "his coaching staff" thought and then made a speculation of you own <laugh>

Does anybody know if Pandur is good enough ?

I assumed the new manager would be bringing in a keeper
who he knows and thinks will fit his style of play

All the talk of Allsop being **** & conceding bad goals, yes, everyone remembers those bad goals that “should” have been saved, but he also had good games where he made good saves. He can’t be all bad if we finished 7th.
There’s also the fact that Rosie wanted us to play out from the back, how many times did Seri or a defender, pass the ball in our box & lose it, causing a shot or a goal?
What Acun did, talking about Allsop was wrong, his PR is great most of the time, but someone needs to tell him when to shut up & think before he speaks.
Old man Allam was doing ok until he opened his mouth one day when he was pissed off over a decision, seems that people should really think how they’re going to say something, before saying it.
Hopefully Acun learns from this mistake & doesn’t double down with worse things, or we could be in trouble.

If Pandur was better than Allsop we'd have played him.


This is speculation on my part of course, but speculation based on the bleedin' obvious.

I do also buy the notion that by the time he settled it was too late to make a change.

No idea why he was dropped from the bench like. Could be that Ingram was just better during the week could be that Rosenior was stamping his authority. We will never know unless someone has an inside track.

Allsop was nowhere near as bad as some made out but we can certainly find a better balance between shot stopping and passing, not sure if that's Pandur or not. A good GK every so often makes a save that you don't expect them to make which I never once got from Allsop, here's a link to the all time great for a reminder of what that's like!!

I'm sure we won't get it, but it would be interesting to hear Barry Richardson's thoughts on the Allsop situation. Was he telling Liam Pandur not up to it, or was this purely Liam saying I brought him in so he is playing?

I did find it strange when Pandur was relegated from the subs bench, had he expressed his unhappiness at not being number one to Liam or was this Barry Richardson's recommendation Ingram was ahead of him?

I have mixed feelings about him leaving, Yes, Acun was wrong to call him out as he did, but he did make 2 or 3 costly errors, yes, good with his feet, but as the Cardiff fans had said when we bought him, they pointed out this flaw in his ability.

I can see Acun point that Padur had played well in the Dutch premier league, so one would think he should be good enough for the Championship.

Furthermore, I wish Ryan all the best, we do have a surplus of keepers at present, and with Timothee and Cartwright doing well at their loan clubs, they could well be vying for a place on the bench.

P.S. Rotherham seems to have an interest in Ingram.

Re Barry Richardson, I have been wondering the same. If anyone should be influeincing who should be the number one goalkeeper it should be Richarson. He would have been working with Allsop and Pandur all the time and surely must be an influential voice, if not the most influential and even more so than LR. on who should be the number one. Actually I am surprised he is still on the staff.

Erm .... hang on ...... first off I wasn't calling Ernie out; as clearly stated I was asking "a genuine question". Secondly, Ernie says "obviously", I say "maybe", yet I'm the one pulled up for (so called) speculating!!

(and yes, I've seen that Ernie later clarifies that he's speculating).

Will Walter want to doom himself to the sack if he doesn’t play Acun’s keeper though?
Click to expand...

He isn't 'Acun's keeper'! I'm sure Walter will play who he thinks is the best keeper available to him without any personal attachment as such.
I speculate ( :emoticon-0105-wink: ) that a) Rosenior's ties to Allsop ruled his head a little bit, and possibly more importantly that b) Rosenior felt Allsop fitted better to his 'Rosieball' style, a style which many of us believe was too ponderous etc
