chipdawg Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Seen him play a few times on TV when I've been in Vancouver. Big chap but quite athletic, good stopper, decent with the ball at his feet, prone to the odd howler. I always felt he was better-than-average in the MLS (from limited viewings), but I'm not sure what that means. Certainly surprised that Vancouver let him go, he had some awesome games for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant leave it down to Jojo or Sesay to cover Max for a long period of time. I know we could get a short term loan for a keeper but that may see us scrambling around to get someone in at the last minute should god forbid Max pick up an injury as well. I would certainly hope that Max gets to start on Saturday. He’s been around the squad for a good time and has never let us down when he’s played. As for our other young keepers, while it may be too early for Sesay I’m not saying o sure about Jojo. A couple of years back Frankie was saying he rated them both Max and Jojo and there wasn’t much between them. Max has impressed as he’s had more chances. Presume now though that Jojo will extend his loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent a season sat in the Atyeo Wheelchair section behind the practice net, and he’d say hi and a few words. This was before that Swindon game in 14/15, bout 1hr before kick off....so relaxed about not playing, he hadn’t bothered changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Surely if we have signed a keeper, an international keeper, he has come here to play. I can’t imagine he will expect to be sitting on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a kick in the teeth for Max imho, and he won’t have had much time to get used to the players, style, Championship football. Of course, you may be spot on.

I’m not saying I agree with it, I like Max, seen him thrown in mid match a couple of times now and he’s come out with credit. But yes a pay cheque will be welcomed by SM, just got a feeling he will get the gloves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could look a decent keeper with our defenders in front of him This in a nutshell. I just asked my two "Caps" fans what they thought of him good pedigree - lots of caps at a reasonably high level for the kiwi national squad. lots of experience under pressure. i always thought he was done wrong by the disassociated back line in front of him I think he was a solid keeper, with a better defensive line in front of him he'll do well in the Championship. He's a better keeper than the Caps have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinito Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Beginning to feel like there is a comparison between City's goalkeepers and Spinal Tap's drummers. I wonder what the record is for the most goalkeepers used by a team in one season? Apologies if that question has been asked before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Can honestly say I don't know a lot about him- does anyone else think it is harsh on O'Leary though?

Seems sensible to me, with Fielding out for the season, and doubts on Maempau's fitness, that only leaves O'Leary plus an untried youngster. If a proven International keeper can be bought in for three months , why wouldn't you? As to O'Leary I think he will get the shirt tomorrow, then its up to him to keep it, he was great at Brentford, so see no reason why he shouldn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be harsh on Max but do you really want to potentially go to the end of the season with just Max and another youngster who has never played for the first team? If he's considered better than Max then he should play. The team comes first after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do need cover though as mentioned, and also surely Max needs someone to train with. He might even pick up a few tips from an experienced International player?
