Bye Bye Brezovan?

[reeves4england]

He's a very good keeper, but I agree that people get carried away.
Sounds like he's been dodgy recently so it wil be interesting to see how he plays tonight, presuming this will be his last chance to claim a spot in the side against Tranmere.
Back to the point, I don't think he's going anywhere

Brez won't be going anywhere on the back of his pre-season form... looks dodgy as hell. He appears to have improved his kicking at the expense of catching practise.

I agree with that he has looked quite shaky and wouldn't be surprised to see Smith in goal saturday.

[Power to people]

It was interesting that Brez was given 90 mins against Hungerford, I wonder if Smith will be given 90 mins tonight ?

[Rich Pullen]

Both Smith and Brezovan could be 1st choice - either could leave to be honest.

If so, good to see the scouts kick off. Seems they have been conspicuous by the absence of any recommendations so far ...

Rest assured, Ken Ryder is one of the busiest scouts in the country. We will really start to see the benefits of the network in the medium to long term but it's interesting to see we're looking at Hungarian players, as Sturrock has cottoned on to the fact that very good players can be picked up for low prices.

Has it not become easier to bring the Hungarians in since they joined the EU aswell?

In that case, my apologies to scouts everywhere and KR in particular.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

You can never have too many keepers. Remember 97-98 when we played QPR at home? Digby was injured, Talia was injured and Mildenhall was still recovering from his horrendous kick in the bollocks in the previous game against Pompey. We were struggling to get yet another keeper in on loan and there was serious talk of Alan McDonald going in goal. As it was, Fraser, clearly not fit (I think he was recovering from a dislocated shoulder or something) went between the sticks. Amazingly, we won 3-1.

We got through a fair few keepers in the Prem as well I seem to recall. Digby, Hammond, Heald and Sheffield all spring immediately to mind.

That, my friends, is why you can never ever have too many keepers.
