Has Luke McShane gone?

[Hempstead Gaz]

According to the BBC, Mark Wright want to keep him on loan. But where?

Here hopefully!! Didnt realise he had gone!! doom mongers will be out in force now!! hehe

[Harry J Allstars]

If a player is loaned on a friday he returns to his club exactly 4 weeks after the day we loaned him. McShanes deal ends with us tommorrow.

[David Holden]

McShane's loan ended today.

[John Pearce]

Regretably if McShane has gone then I would anticipate that Kerr will re-claim his place in the side as he would appear to be Daish's first choice 'keeper.

 

Sadly therefore, as a result I will not be surprised to see a 'dip' in both the confidence and the overall performance of the team, particularly the defence.

 

I hope that this will not be the case as will undo all the good work achieved in recent matches.

Surely Holloway's his first-choice as he started against Exeter and the two haven't been available together since...?

[James GNFC]

So were back to useless goalkeepers for the game at the weekend??

[Richard C]

I think this is a bit Harsh . . . . . . but Fair!!

[Hempstead Gaz]

Can't we play them both at the same time? May help to keep a clean sheet!!

Hardly fair is it...? One competitive start each and they're derided as being useless. Give 'em a fair crack of the whip, else they'll both be off quicker than you can say Lee Turner!

[James GNFC]

To a point Craig is better than Kerr or wayne as some fans are calling him but I just feel better with Luke between the sticks.

[FleetFanatic]

Let's be realistic..... 2 full-time 'keepers, both back to full fitness.....

 

.....it was quite obvious that McShane would be back to Peterborough at the end of the loan spell.

Interesting point.
Has that ever been done?

[Alan W (GNFC)]

So based on 1 game, they are rubbish - if you saw Grobellar or David James, or most other top level keepers on a bad day, no doubt you'd have dumped them from your team too!

 

Kerr was an U21 Irish International for god sake - it may have been a couple of seasons back, but he cant be that bad - come to that, Holloway was on Arsenal's books - ok, so he didnt make the grade there, but again, you have to have a certain level of ability to get there.

 

As is always said on here, lets give the guys a proper chance - if all we do is spend time slagging the guys off, no matter what, any confidence they do have now will soon disappear.

There speaks Mr Perfect. The only man in the world who has never in his life made a mistake. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />

I would say that after 1 game you can assess a keepers attributes more so than any other position?!

 

Handling

Awareness

Communication

Shot Stopping

Kicking

 

All of these can be assessed in 1 game if need be (although ideally more).

 

I would say both of our keepers arent perfect - but i will give them a chance. Now the defence has settled it may boost the keepers confidence.

[Stu M]

A lot of people have judged Holloway on very little evidence. As for Kerr, I've only seen him play two halves... not enough for an informed judgement from me!

[Jeff]

Maybe whichever one of them who plays will surprise us?

Fingers crossed anyway!

So on that evidence, if I assess Charlie Mitten's goalkeeping ability on his performance at Underhill last season alone, that in theory makes me a better 'keeper than he is.

Did the word 'ideally' pass over you? pedant
