Fordy62 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 My intelligence tells me that this is correct. We all wanted him when he was leaving Walsall and he went to Wigan. We could do a lot worse than a player who was his clubs player of the year last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong, as we saw with Hamer. First few games because he wasn't match ready, his decision making was poor.

bcfcbs20 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Ruddy didn't do too badly for us up at Carlise back in 07. We didn't get him in until the last minute if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkshireSection Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Not huge for a keeper, but a good foot bigger than Franky, so a definite positive on the height side. Personally I like O'Leary looks very assured from crosses/corners, I think he will hopefully prove his worth over the next few years and make the keepers shirt his own.

ashton_fan Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Of course O'Donnell was the opposing keeper at Wembley, looking at those highlights he's good on shots but not so good deciding when to come off his line, eg for corners. Apart from his time at Walsall hasn't really made it anywhere else, just hope he knows a bit about our defence (or lack of it!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
