pongo88 Posted September 29, 2023 Report Share Posted September 29, 2023 This is a steady job for him. He'll get paid, help out in training but, unless some catastrophe happens, he'll never havr to play a game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember this? https://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/jan/17/Scunthorpe-united-bristol-city-league-one-match-report#:~:text=Scunthorpe United lost two goals,be replaced by James Severn. I think statistically it is something like a 2% chance you’ll need to replace your keeper in a game so that’s possibly once a season if you play 50 games. Apart from Basso who had a strange tendency to go off injured a lot (I reckon he did about 6 times for us) Max has to come on once for Maenpaa & Bentley did so twice, once for Maenpaa, the other time for Max, it does happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDarwall Posted September 29, 2023 Report Share Posted September 29, 2023 Towards the end of his time here, Basso seemed to want to go off every game. I'm sure there were occasions GJ tried to persuade him to stay on. I loved Basso. I don't have a religious bone in my body but he was the epitome of a talisman & he almost made me a believer! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would of rotated the youth keepers around, give them experience with the first team squad. Maybe that's why you're not a manager then.

I’m not sure my opinions on 3rd or 4th choice keepers is keeping me back from being a championship manager… I think a lot more is to be honest! 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
