    Another goalkeeper? [Ali Al-Habsi]

    I gave an example two years ago when Brezo had to play in Huddersfield because Kuszczak had a poisoned finger and Ankergren fell ill. OGH was in goal in a FRIENDLY match whilst FDM played in midfield. It never happened in a League match Sorry, yes, Josh Smith. Ah ok, I thought suspensions...

    So who would you play on Monday in the U21s game? Josh Smith got a red card last week & Walton has played most of those games.

    Would you take a risk as manager, allowing for the fact that the U21s have a game on Monday night, and the other youth keeper is suspended following a red card? I don't know, but isn't there some sort of injury insurance?

    If Brezo had been carded or injured in that game, we had nobody on the bench to replace him. I doubt that we're paying Al Habsi's full wages. On another note, it's a shame that Adam isn't still with us. Warren Aspinall would get in a real two & eight, with his pronounciations.

    This. I really can't understand why some find it so hard to grasp. Kuipers had a car accident, Ankergren had flu. Anything can happen at any time, but still some fans moan.

    I'd like to think so. I thought Walton had a good game on Wednesday night.

    I'm not sure. Usually it's the Friday before the game, but as it's a late kick off, it may be later. Maybe someone else can enlighten us?

    Ankergren kept 14 clean sheets in our first season back in this division. He's ok for a stand in keeper. I would play Hughes & Dunk together tomorrow night as I thought they worked well together on Wednesday. That way if Dunk got booked, we've got Greer to fall back on next week.

    Can Walton play two nights in a row? See my previous post about Josh White.

    Casper will probably be playing tomorrow night as Walton will have to play for the U21s on Monday night. Josh White got a second yellow & red last Monday.

    Can you give a list of the strikers available? That would be good.

    Another goalkeeper? [Ali Al-Habsi]

    What striker (who can actually score goals) is going to come in for a temporary, one or two month, loan? This is classed as a temporary loan.
  13. Thunder Bolt

    Another goalkeeper? [Ali Al-Habsi]

    Yes, but as I pointed out, one of those two fully fit keepers may have an illness or injury at any time. It happened two years ago, and we went into a game without a keeper on the bench.
  14. Thunder Bolt

    Another goalkeeper? [Ali Al-Habsi]

    I gave you an example where it did happen. It is rare and can happen. It will be a one month emergency loan, hardly breaking the bank.
  15. Thunder Bolt

    Another goalkeeper? [Ali Al-Habsi]

    It will be temporary cover only. We need three keepers as injury or illness can happen at any time, which is why Brezovan played at Huddersfield two years ago. Kuszczak had a poisoned finger, Ankergren was ill, so we had to use our third choice keeper. It will be cheap and nothing like trying to...
