New Dazzler Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Anyone remember Stefan Maierhoffen? A big Austrian centre forward on loan from Wolves played 3 games in 2010. Went in goal as no sub GK on bench, IIRC made a better impression in goal than as a striker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhistleHappy Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 Just heard LJ on Radio Bris.... Stated he has every faith in our young goalie, he also confirmed that an emergency loan goalkeeper is an option available to us should we need one.

Yeah unless its changed, I'm sure the ruling was that it's available should you need it, so long as your backup has played 5 games or less. The issue with an emergency loan, is that you're effectively going to be taking someone on loan who has played little first team football, and is quite possibly backup to the backup. In either case they arent going to know the players in front of them. When you think about it like that, it makes sense to test out Max. If after Saturday he looks a bit shaky and both NM/FF are still not ready, then try for a loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm delighted that we haven't gone down the emergency loan route. Pathway to the first team remains open. Good luck to the lad . Best of luck to him and that may well be a positive- may improve our alertness at the back and intensity in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatalist Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 I'm sure O'Leary will be fine. More interesting is can we trust whoever is the backup to the backup? With our luck, O'Leary will get injured in the first minute. Anyone remember who we played a couple of years ago (possibly Scunthorpe) whose keeper went off injured and the sub keeper only lasted 5 minutes before getting hurt himself?

I fully expect him to have plenty to do, probably too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shtanley Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 I’m sure the away end will get right behind him, what a great test as your first league start. He’s a solid shot stopper so maybe he’ll end up becoming an instant hero if we get something from the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I saw Rob Newman and Louis Carey between the sticks at differing times too....used to love it when an outfield player was forced to go in goals! Went in after Naylor got sent off against Burnley in my first ever league game, 96/97. We won 2-1 and he pulled off a blinding save (for an outfield player) from a freekick.

sh1t_ref_again Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 In some ways it's a great game for him as long as he does not make a howler or we get thumped which will affect his confidence, as I think most of us we are expecting a very hard game and probable loss so we have less to lose by trying him in this game than perhaps one we expect to win.

1960maaan Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 With luck the couple of times he's turned out before helps with his initial nerves, from reports he's a decent keeper it's as much the defence I worry about. If they are as good as they can be at least he won't be peppered with shots, and he has played 50+ games at around Conference level. I just think they are better than us , but then, we don't know what City will turn up, 3 x L's and 2x D's in our last 5 games is not the best form to be going there with a new keeper but Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s up to the defence to protect him and the forwards to get the asses into gear and have some shots, that would be my team talk anyway. LJ if you want me to tell that to the players I’m available!

Charlie BCFC Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 With the international break in place luckily Maenpaa won’t miss as many games.

Shtanley Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Amazing how quickly careers can change for keepers, pretty sure O'Leary was gonna go to a Scottish prem team in the summer but when Fielding got injured he got given a new contract and now he's got a chance to become a championship number 1.

To cheer myself up, I watched the highlights of the Man u game again. I was amazed to see that only 3 of the starters that day are likely to start at Brentford!
