Gerkin V Basso

[cinker]

Gerkin was a lot better yesterday, mainly as he actually moved off his line. A couple of good saves, but his tendency to punch the ball back into the danger area is worrying, and on one occasion in the first half, he flapped at a cross and got nowhere near. He is young, new to the team, so a few errors are to be expected. In my view, a reasonable Championship keeper, but definitely not as good as Basso at the moment.

I notics Basso looked quite cheerful yesterday and was allowed to play with the other subs at half-time. No new keeper has arrived. Maybe he and GJ have kissed and made up. Despite my above comments, if that did happen, Gerkin should not be dropped unless he loses form or picks up an injury - But maybe give Basso a game against Carlisle.

Thanks for your insight Chappers. Like I say its difficult to read the situation being so far away. Thanks again.
