    Niki Mäenpää signs a 2 year deal

    Thats a pity as he would have got plenty of action there.

    Niki Mäenpää signs a 2 year deal

    I think it is a positive move now let Walton go on season loan to Crawley where he will get games and plenty of action.

    Niki Mäenpää signs a 2 year deal

    My suggestion re Paul Robinson is not really relevant now as it appears the Finnish keeper is signing for us.

    Niki Mäenpää signs a 2 year deal

    It happens in many cases where players for whatever reason do not train with the team all of the time and join up prior to matches, if experienced settled players. Saturday match= Sunday Monday off at home Tuesday train locally Wednesday come down and train with the team on Thursday and or...

    Niki Mäenpää signs a 2 year deal

    The comments about wanting competition for DS do suggest that CH has not been won over by him.

    Niki Mäenpää signs a 2 year deal

    What about Paul Robinson 35 years old would add possible competition to DS and be good cover. He has been released by Blackburn and is apparently talking to Bradford. Location may be a problem as he wouldnt want to move I wouldnt think at his age so possibly train generally with a senior...

    Niki Mäenpää signs a 2 year deal

    I cannot see the point in signing a competitor to DS unless CH isnt entirely happy with him. If he was he would just save money and sign a cover in case he was needed. This competetion improves performances theory doesnt wash with me. I believe that you have a man as first choice and if...

    Niki Mäenpää signs a 2 year deal

    The Argus says we are trying to get Ben Roberts as GK coach,just a silly thought could he double up on the bench if needed as Dave Beasant does. How often is the sub keeper called upon, not very and it wouod only be to finish 1 game then get an emergency loan keeper in if DS out for some games.

    Niki Mäenpää signs a 2 year deal

    I do not see a possible replacement for DS as an urgent requirement at the moment, perhaps the view will change by January, but at the moment not needed only possibly a No2 as cover assuming Walton goes out on loan. We urgently need a main striker, 2 wide men ,a left back and possibly a CB...

    Niki Mäenpää signs a 2 year deal

    It has been suggested that we sign a keeper to compete with DS for the no 1 jersey. I dont agree, IMHO we need to show faith in DS and sign a competant cover should he be injured during a game, hence the suggestion of Lonnergan. With Walton going out on loan he would do a better job than CA.

    Niki Mäenpää signs a 2 year deal

    Me, and 7 other clubs consider him an adequate cover and he also played 10 times for England at the same level as Walton is, so cant be that bad.as a cover for DS.

    Niki Mäenpää signs a 2 year deal

    Didnt I read Mark Bunn has joined some team recently. Al Habsi would push DS for the jersey.

    Niki Mäenpää signs a 2 year deal

    I would like somebody a little younger probably 34 /35 ish but experienced as cover but not to push DS for the No 1 jersey. I feel that having paid good money for him we should back him fully or sell him. Although only 31 I think Lee Camp could fit the bill now that Bournemouth have signed 2...

    Obviously it is only a rumour but likely to be true because they have stuck by FFP.

    Niki Mäenpää signs a 2 year deal

    I have been a severe critic of DS but believe we should put our faith in him as No 1 and find a cheap cover like Andy Lonnergan or Lee Camp type to come in as No 2 and allow Walton to go on a season loan. With CA staying as cover for the cover. Not openly sign a keeper to compete with DS...

    Niki Mäenpää signs a 2 year deal

    The same man who has played nearly 300 league games and in recent years has been used in the championship by clubs exactly as I suggest as cover for the No 1. What would appeal to PB is he would be an effective cheap signing who could do the job rather than spend another £1m to equal what we have.

    Niki Mäenpää signs a 2 year deal

    Why do we need an unknown 30 yr old keeper with no experience of the FL why not go for an older but experienced Andy Lonnergan as back up to Stockdale.
