Lrrr Posted September 29, 2023 Report Share Posted September 29, 2023 Says in article it’s while Wiles-Richards is injured, so they want an experienced #3 rather than a young lad following the team around so makes sense 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This signing allows Joe Duncan to play for the U18’s on a Saturday rather than travelling/being with the first team squad. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who did you think we would sign on a short term contract until January as third choice? Presumably you’re one of the “Kasper Schmeichel played under Nige & is on a free, let’s sign him” crowd. Probability is this bloke will never even make the bench. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max isn't injury prone, and we have Bajic. I would of rotated the youth keepers around, give them experience with the first team squad. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Bajic has a niggle who knows It’s not that, you go to Rotherham in midweek & say one of Max or Bajic is taken unwell or picks up a knock in the warm up, you are then playing 90 minutes with no keeper on the bench. As has been explained above the lad who travelled up to Leicester (Joe Duncan) is required for the 18s. Imagine the outcry on here if this happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and I wouldn’t, clearly. It’s obviously the right move to have 3 keepers who are trusted to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The odds on a) Max being injured is low, and then for Max and Bajic even lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not worth the risk. Hes probably being paid £500 a week max! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite slim I’d say but not zero. All about risk and cost to mitigate isn’t it. £6-7k total cost to mitigate a small risk is a no brainer 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
