Luke Steel contract

I think goalkeepers have a different mindset when it comes to playing regularly as they are fighting over one specialist position in a team game that often celebrates utility.

I remember his interview on joining quite clearly and he made it clear that he understood his position behind Frank. I would imagine that he has been pretty pleased with the amount he has got this season, mainly thaks to the cup run.

I would be happy for him to stay if he wants, looking back on the season, it could be argued that his display against Man Utd was the best by either 'keeper.

I think we should be looking for a new number one, with Fielding as cover, and let him move on.

We should've gone in for Daniel Bentley when he was at Southend. I'd be up for that if we could bring someone of his calibre in.

Very decent back up if he is willing to accept the role.

He is just as good as Frankie . He is better than just a 'decent  back up ' from what I've seen of him .

Frankie gets the nod because of his amazing will to win and knowledge of how his long time teammates play. 

I wouldn't be worried if FF left and Steele took the number 1 spot .

I am surprised that his contract runs out this summer view the fact that Mark Ashton said ' none of the players we want to keep are out of contract in the summer ".

Logically  that  says that we don't want to retain his services .

Wasn't saying as a back up to FF necessarily but he would be /is a quality back up for a top 6 Championship team and probably not a regular starter.

I think the problem is that for any keeper better than Frankie we'd have to pay a lot of money and probably it could be better spent elsewhere in the team. The past has shown that the other low-cost keepers have been OK as a backup but been unable to challenge him for a first team place.

Disagree, I would like to see us splash out on a top keeper for once, who can organise the defence as well as be an incredible shot stopper. If we had a keeper who could organise his defence well I could see players like Magnússon improving rapidly and not making poor mistakes mistakes e.g. first Preston goal.

I don't disagree, I thought Girefer was ok apart from his kicking. We only got Frankie because of his injury issues, he was destined for higher things when he was younger but a top foreign taller keeper would keep him on his toes

However talented he clearly is, it's fairly obvious that he struggles with kicking and also with organisation, for all the incredible saves he makes how much does he give away possession or have moments such as vs Preston?

If we are building for the future surely he can't be considered as the starting keeper?

All keepers make mistakes, would you rather have Joe Hart who has many England caps?

While that is true, for the style of football we are trying to play, do we really want a keeper who has such poor distribution and constantly loses us possession? It can't be considered mistakes anymore for the amount Frankie boots the ball out of play!

 

Don't get me wrong I think Frankie would be an excellent backup, but I would hope we are looking to bring in a far better number one.
