3 potential Goalkeepers

If only we had kept Kieffer cos then we could have Tickle Mee Moore.

Just imagine if we still had Hao Hai Dong, Tickle Mee Dong.

Beats Short, Curle and Dong

Is Ian Bennett still alive?

Bags of experience at 55 and coaching at Huddersfield, so wouldn’t need to nice house. It’s a yes from me.

It’s a lovely drive down the A629 as well. Will do wonders for his mental health.

But from his perspective why would you join us now when there is a significant blocker in your way to first team experience and improvement? It’s not like he’s 30, there’s only a couple of years between them and he’s playing regularly now.

if the reports that cooper may need surgery theres no blocker he comes in and him and cooper fight for the jersey next season weve got competition in most outfield positions we should also have competition for the keeper spot

I think he is quite clearly suffering with a problem. He had to go off at Coventry and also has gone down a couple of times (the latest at Leicester) with some sort of injury. The club are not going to come out and confirm its an injury as it would alert the opposition to a weakness which they would likely try and exploit

Isn’t he going down to allow CW to give a team talk when we were under pressure. Keepers don’t have to go off after treatment like outfield players.
Coventry he clearly did have a problem.

Didn`t we have a Bent, Dong scenario up front one time?

If Coops has a problem and needs a back operation to fix it, then that's season ending. If any of the GKs do step up, we're still in the same situation of not having a viable backup GK.

Not sure if he is wanting a contract, is fit enough or whatever, one potential on the freebie list as in without a club is former ‘boro amongst others, Tom Glover, he is still on 27, 6ft 5 so a decent height and can pull off some routine saves, this was the “welcome to Boro highlight reel” below. He was a 2nd keeper at Boro only playing 19 times over 2 seasons but could be a stop gap whilst we are looking at our options. End of season Grbic and Davies hopefully are gone as both of their contracts are up, Faxton hasn’t had enough men’s football minutes and in the U21s and U18s games he has made errors that would be punished in the Championship.

Ideally what we need is a solid backup keeper, sending Faxton out on loan and one that can challenge Coopers spot, if we had that luxury. Either way Glover could do a job if needed.

On that showing get him in and make cooper the no2

Good shot stopper but doesn’t show if he’s a flapper at crosses. Cooper has been making a few suspect decisions on incoming crosses but still have confidence in him. However, needs a more reliable challenger for GK especially if rumours re fitness are true.

Although not too much online, I did find the below article, before he left for 'boro where he mentions, he was "sharpening his ground game" after "(being) fully aware that dominating in the air and possessing acrobatic reflexes are only part of the resume of a modern keeper" which suggests that he does come for crosses and being the height he is you would expect him to claim them.

The other articles handily has him collecting a cross!
