this seems to be getting overlooked by all parties.

bulman chokes under even the very hint of pressure... in other words he's pretty shit.

I havent seen him play but according to most people he's crap, why arent we after another keeper?.

simple, moneys not there!

Think its simply that in our present state, corners need to be cut, and this is an obvious one......King is just hoping that Rhys doesn't get injured.

 This has been pointed out as one of the reasons why staying up this season has to be main aim and is not going to be easy.

We could get a keeper on loan?. :D

I've a feeling that we are permitted an emergency loan outside of the transfer windows - not been able to confirm that yet mind - if this is the case I suspect King will be thinking that he will use it on a keeper if needs be eg. if Rhys gets injured.

Bulman isn't the greatest....  :oops:

Fraser Digby.

Get him registered, if that fat donkey Southall can play until his 60's Digby should have at least a few seasons left in him.

I've only seen Bulman play once (v Cirencester) and i was far from impressed. possible season long loan of a premiership yougster?

This statement says that emergency loans will be allowed in exceptional circumstances which I assume would include not having a registered goalkeeper. I guess if Bulman is on a month by month contract it might be necesary to wait until his contract expires in order to claim exceptional circumstances.

I would have thought we'd be pushing our luck, if we want a loan outside the window, because we've only one keeper.....if Bulman is contracted as no. 2 keeper then he'll have to play, presumably this is the idea of windows, that it forces clubs to use its young ploayers.

would of thought you'd be sticking up for the oldies not youth reg????

We could get that keeper from Man Utd on loan, the one they just bought from stoke.

He's already on loan.....to stoke

My mate is a better keeper than Bulman....

It's probably not that hard to be honest.  I am quite good between the sticks.

But how many goals have you scored from in goal. Bulman's record is up their with the best and his goal won us the youth cup.

Yeh, he's still in his 30's, goalies get better with age anyway.

i used to be goalie, was a good one up until i was about 12-13 and had a year off with a knee injury and then i learned to eat and sit on my arse  :x

i'll take my gloves to most games just in case  :wink:

Think I might have see you play between the sticks actually....did you play for anyone last season?

Why didnt we go for him?.

Because we cannot afford two 'keepers good enough to be considered as good enough for first choice - mores the pity.

I like Day's attitude though - he said a while ago that he needs to make sure he's in a job come the beginning of the season and was very realistic with his view of the market.  Good luck to him.

I wish him bad luck especially for the 2nd game of the season.

Well obviously. :nod:

I agree that Fraser should play if Evans is injured. He's not old for a keeper and it's not like you have to run around much is it?

Bulman sounds dire, I'd have much more confidence in Fraser.

In fact, he played in the Masters for Man U the other week and was top drawer, the commentators were raving about him.

I would imagine he's quite content as a Swindon Legend (in my eyes at least), What if he was to sign up, and Rhys got injured and he made several god-awful fuck ups in important games. I promise you there would be some idiots out there who would get on his back regardless of the fact that he would be essentially doing us a favour. I for one would love to see him back between the sticks but I doubt Fraser would feel he needs the additional responsibility.
