I can see that he isn’t a good keeper. My points are first that he is not as dreadful as some say and second that he and Davies will be ok if we have a decent defence and good attacking players.
If we have sufficient funds then he should be replaced.
Occasionally wanting to be the most supportive can make you look deluded.My points are first that he is not as dreadful as some say and second that he and Davies will be ok if we have a decent defence and good attacking players.
Apart from recent friendlies he has only been seen in the PL behind a dreadful defence. Was he more dreadful than the defence ?He's the worst goalie I've seen playing for United, and that includes Richardson, Johns and Baxter, to name but three. I'm not sure how much more dreadful he could be.
We may not have the choice is the point I am obviously failing to get across.Occasionally wanting to be the most supportive can make you look deluded.
You can't carry a notably sub standard keeper at any level.
Does having good defenders in front of you make you discover the ability to hold a ball? Or move your feet? Or catch?Apart from recent friendlies he has only been seen in the PL behind a dreadful defence. Was he more dreadful than the defence ?
If we have a good defence this season and a positive approach going forward I think he would not be dreadful. I may be wrong but until I have seen him play after the window shuts then I reserve my judgment.
But what's the excuse for his performance in friendlies against non-league teams and league 2 teams?Apart from recent friendlies he has only been seen in the PL behind a dreadful defence. Was he more dreadful than the defence ?

No, but it does mean you don’t have to do very much.Does having good defenders in front of you make you discover the ability to hold a ball? Or move your feet? Or catch?
As I keep saying, if we can find an affordable replacement then great, but in the meantime it’s him or Davies.But what's the excuse for his performance in friendlies against non-league teams and league 2 teams?
First shot against him last night and it's another error leading to a goal.
At the weekend, simple back pass to control, he lets roll under his foot and puts himself under pressure.
Lost count of the amount of times his kicking was wayward in the friendlies too, constantly kicking the ball out of play, surrendering possession.
I'd give up on this one if I were you.
We need a goalkeeper through the door before the season. This is a priority.
He was statistically the worst keeper in Europe last season, yet only played half the season.
He is the worst keeper I have ever seen.
I know recency bias could be swaying that, but I genuinely cannot remember every having less faith in a GK than this lad.
I’ve made an attempt to edit this Wikipedia page back to it’s original form, but I think that I’ve been only partially successful.
100% Sachdev's initial error was just as bad.As I keep saying, if we can find an affordable replacement then great, but in the meantime it’s him or Davies.
Yesterday’s goal was a defensive error which allowed their striker through unchallenged and he scored as he would against most Championship keepers, so let’s not heap every mistake on Grbic.
Are you for real? Do you understand positioning for a keeper?As I keep saying, if we can find an affordable replacement then great, but in the meantime it’s him or Davies.

Even in the wrong position, he should have still saved it!100% Sachdev's initial error was just as bad.
He's a young wingback who for some reason is now playing centre back, who is nowhere near ready for the first team, he has room to improve though.
Watch the goal back.
The Harrogate striker carries the ball 20-30 yards, yet Grbic is still wildly out of position.
He has a huge amount of time to get himself set, positioned correctly, make the net as small as possible for the striker.
What is the result?
An easy side-foot finish into the middle of the net.

Please look at the above and tell me how on earth he's decided that's the correct position he should be in.
I cannot fathom how someone would be content with starting the season with him in the net.
Fuck himWell said.
To be clear, Grbic, in his current form, is nowhere near the standard required for us. I think that we can all be pretty certain that Wilder has noticed this, and plans to do something about it.
The lad’s confidence has clearly been shot to pieces, and now looks beyond redemption - he needs a fresh start away from us.
The torrent of posts revelling in this situation is embarrassing, and the efforts of the posters to outdo each other with ever more ridiculous superlatives and look-at me statements of the obvious is even more pathetic that the performance of the person they are criticising. The booing and jeering in the ground last season and this preseason is cringeworthy.
It's not him.As I keep saying, if we can find an affordable replacement then great, but in the meantime it’s him or Davies.

I thought Derek was his personal coachWhat's Derek Richardson doing these days? Surely can't be any worse.
I agree re Davies. Would be fine to start the season with if required behind a solid defence. Unfairly maligned. Not 1st choice but good enough as back up when called upon.I can see that he isn’t a good keeper. My points are first that he is not as dreadful as some say and second that he and Davies will be ok if we have a decent defence and good attacking players.

He doesnt fill any of us with confidence but tbf to the lad he got booed when his name was read out.
Worth taking into account Flekken played 37 premier league games for Brentford last season and Grbic played 9.Last season he had the worst goals against to expected goals against out of all 40 goalkeepers that played some minutes in the league. In his 9 games, he was expected to concede 14.7 goals and conceded 23 (plus two own goals which don't count for xGA stats) meaning he was expected to save 8.3 goals that he didn't (Wes was expected to save 3.5 goals that he didn't, for comparison). The average for all goalkeepers was 1.15 goals expected to be saved which weren't. Interestingly, Mark Flekken of Brentford was nearly as bad in these stats as he let in 7.6 goals that he was expected to save (just mentioning him as he's considered a good keeper)
I suppose with these stats there's all kinds of caveats like luck or ability of the striker, but either way, it's a pretty bad stat

Wilder is busting his balls to persuade players to come to our club. People piss and moan about the damage to our reputation caused by our 2 point deduction. Yet it’s apparently OK, even funny, to abuse our players in public like this, in such an infantile manner. Grow up, whoever did it.
