Ok, Mahoney is a great keeper for this level.

Peter Schmeichel was a “great” keeper.
Mahoney is a solid L2 keeper. I saw nothing great about his performance at Tranmere!
What a strange comment, I don't imagine anyone thinks any of the current Swindon players rank amongst the greatest ever players in their position...  |

One of our more easily replaced loanees though. Good shot stopper (for those he could reach), adequate with ball at feet, but he doesn’t have strong command of his box and decision-making was frequently off. In his defence, playing with a shaky back 3 would not have helped, but we should easily be able to find someone as good.

I felt we were better with an adequate adult in goal today. Not sorry at all to see Mahoney out from a footballing point of view though obviously wish him no ill.

Surely we'll have some 15 year old we can stick in goal?

Says everything about this club that supporters were genuinely speculating on whether our 45 year old goalkeeping coach was going to be on the bench, which was entirely plausible.

So, I get that to a degree. Ward is an 'ok' L2 keeper. He's decent cover in an emergency or for a couple of games (as long as you don't want him to play with the ball at his feet). He is not the sort of L2 keeper you would want if the club has aspirations of moving forward. I feel better with him covering a couple of games than the other young inexperienced keepers we have loaned out to develop and get game time. They are both in the Kovar category - Not ready. I would hope that we get someone else in by the end of the window - But, that position is less of a priority than defence. And if Kemp and Young go then they need replacing first. My hopes for this season (now) are survival. I hope we can then root out whatever cancers there are on and off the field and then build for the future. |

I don’t want a keeper to “play with his feet” in this division. There’s no point. We concede more goals than we create chances with this approach. Why do we continue to do it? In this division I want a keeper that primarily takes crosses, saves a few shots and ultimately inspires some confidence. Perhaps we had to continue playing our loanee because of an agreement with QPR? His injury is a blessing in disguise for the club. Ward is nowhere near perfect but a better bet than Mahoney in this respect.

Didn't ever seen Mahoney command his box nor talk defenders through the game. I can't see how a GK who conceded 40 odd goals in 22 games is a big miss tbh
