RUREADY2ROLL Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 If we could bring another in it would be a goalie who commands the box more; both rarely challenge for crosses and their first goal yesterday was a prime example. Gilks was great last season but I don’t think he is agile enough and Dixon IMO well get bossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big E Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I think the Dixon stuff is a bit dramatic. We need competition like but he’s not the worst keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 The likes of Gilks or Pickford never shut up - it's part and parcel of your game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantra Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 McLean rumour has been quickly dismissed by Iles. Keeper is a hugely important part of the team, can win you a lot of points. Don’t like overreacting so I’m not sure I’d be calling for a replacement just yet. See how we are by January and then assess it. Having said that I certainly wouldn’t be opposed to bringing in a tried and tested shot stopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Maybe have another look at Gilks in the Pizza Hut Cup or sommat. It's way too early to write off Dixon, but 'keeper and defence is symbiotic. Got to build an understanding and trust, got to shout, to bollock, to praise... Crellin didn't have a prayer. Dixon has promise just needs to pipe up.* * vocalise, not smoke crack cocaine, unless... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrelli Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 McLean would appease those fans that don’t want to mix football with politics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that I can't suggest any better keepers that might be available, so I'll just hope for the best from the 2 we've got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding a top class goalie with our budget is like a top class striker. We need to grow slowly but it could really bite us this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyRiddle Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) Moaning about a goalie making his league debut in a game of that ilk is a nonsense. He may be good enough he may not?, and I too would like him to come for more crosses, for sure, and be more vocal but it may come? However, I would like our defenders to mark players lining up on the 6 yard box for a free header. This was an issue last year too at times, all ball watching, take some responsibility.

Weren't some considering 'I fuck comatose girls' Ched as a possible signing in the close-season? Sorry, he was proven to be unproven (as a raper, after £1m legal shite). Mclean is shite and like Maddison, though he had troubles, I suspect he (poppy burner) would be more meither off-field against any potential benefits he'd bring to our team. Nay.

Members Rudy Posted August 15, 2021 Members Share Posted August 15, 2021 Nothing I haven’t seen from Dixon that makes me think he’s incapable of being our no.1 He needs a consistent back two CB’s in front of him, IMO Santos & Johnston need a run of games together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter RONNIE PHILLIPS Posted August 15, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted August 15, 2021 Might help Dixon if we actually try & stop crosses coming in occasionally... Just a thought like 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Cherry Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Meat-Head McLean? No thanks let Wigan have him they deserve him. Not because of the poppy thing he's an over rated shithouse of a footballer who would cause trouble in squad. Wasn't he pictured in a Germany shirt in summer before England game and turned his back on our national anthem? if talking about all pulling together he can do one.
