So Dubravka is injured and confirmed until mid November So..... Why are we persisting with naming him in the squad thus taking up a valuable outfield space? Is it an excuse not to sign anyone?
Lol. No he's not. Best - yes He literally can't play and can be then registered in January at the expense of whoever. Short termism as usual
In which case you can't complain about lack of depth in other areas as we're having to register 4 keepers.
We don't have to register 4 we have Langley who doesn't need registered who can play. Leave out Darlow or Gillespie
I'd take the risk. It's very rare to have 3 injured keepers. But Bruce will register 4 anyway and we won't sign anyone else
In which case all our discussions are futile as we know what selection Bruce would pick, we know the financial decisions by Ashley. It'll basically become a forum with a takeover thread, the warm Glow thread and a non updated predictions League thread
Isn't that what it currently is? If he's back mid November, last year we played 7 league games and 1 cup game from then til January. Gillespie hasn't played, Woodman is totally unproven and Darlow filled in ok last season but there's levels to this game
Woodman is not unproven. He played well for Swansea. He just needs playing time for us. Which hopefully he will get Darlow long term isn't the answer but again he can do a short term cover. Gillespie is Harper. Dubs appears to be getting quite a few injuries these days and it's not worth the risk. Give him an extra 6 weeks recovery time.
