will we need two new keepers or just the one?

cant see us getting rid of Patto and Moore in the same winodw,

and will Moore getting the full 90 on Saturday, makes me think that Moore is more likely to stay than patto,

or that is my view.

Was Patto injured?
 
Would be a nice bit of experience to add to a very good championship squad

nothing wrong with it

as much as it’s them, look at the multi model city group and city with strasbourg amongst others, heck even Brighton at it

Bit of a false equivalence isn't it (heaven knows the Mags love those...)?

Those other clubs have their multi club ownership structures within leagues that comply with spending regulations meaning there is legislation and restrictions binding how much the rules can be exploited. As far as I'm aware that's not the case with the Saudi league.

I like Simon Moore but he's had two seasons in the last 12 years where he's been a number 1. One in League One, and one in the Championship. In both subsequent seasons he was replaced by another keeper.

His track record is not great when he's played regularly. He's good enough to be a backup keeper but no more.

He made a couple of decent saves at the weekend mind.
 
Moore is obviously not a prem-level keeper. He is a fine second keeper at championship level but his passing is poor and his actual shot stopping is average. I appreciate that people have issues with Patto's kicking but his passing itself is generally very good and helps us a lot.

Think the mayender one just bobbled up before he hit it and I bet the coaches are drumming it into Abdullah to burst the net if he's in that position again

I didn't see the game but a general point on coaching strikers. Finishing is one of the hardest thing to coach for me. It is so hard to replicate the in game situation for strikers. The majority of chances are not 1 on 1 with the keeper, which is what you see the majority of finishing drills doing. They are useful for repetition of striking the ball, but not a lot else (well maybe you demoralise your keeper!).

The best finishers are usually instinctive ones. They have the angles in their head at all times and know where to place the shot. You see placement over power and you know the finisher is a natural. Isidor has great placement for example. That is hard to coach but it isn't really technique - essentially it is an accurate pass and everyone can do that. It is about being able to do it in the moment. It is instinct, knowing the angle and placing the short in a split second. I have tried all sorts over the years with young strikers but sometimes it is not coachable. The best stuff these days, in my opinion, is when you take the keeper out of the equation. Clubs use tiny goals as the target, which is worthwhile. I used to put empty coke bottles just inside each post and that was the target. You really need to blend that accuracy with a 'no look' situation - so everything at maximum speed and first time finishing. Or you can make them play back to goal and turn and finish, but move the target object each time. Daft little things I suppose, and sorry for rambling while I ate my cheese and beetroot sarnie.
