Fraser Forster

can't believe he is still our #2
can't we afford a better keeper who is willing to sit on the bench?
or if the other two younger aren't good enough - we didn't we get rid of all 3 so we can afford a proper #2.

good guy, nice character, fun personality are secondary - competence first please.
 
Made a couple of important saves plus a bit of sweeping to keep that all important clean sheet.

Yeah, was good. He's never going to be great, but perhaps showed why he's still second choice.

Wouldn't be confident if we had to trust him for an extended period of time in the PL. But that's been the case with most of our backup goalkeepers over the years.
 
I must admit, I was scared when i saw his name on the team sheet.

But what a great performance he put in. Saved us on a least two occasions with saves that really should have been goals and a great save from a corner in the first half which i was sure was in.

We might have some competition again for Vicario :)

Agree, its the one thing that i fail to understand is that when over the years our first choice keepers have had to miss games there is a outcry from a lot of fans that they are not good enough. Well what do fans want they are obviously not as good as the first choice keeper because IF they were they would be first choice. They are what they are 2nd choice keepers and should not imo be compered to the man they are filling in for.
 
didn't know where to post, Austin as backup keeper, is he that bad, he cant get ahead of Forster
I thought Austin was awful in preseason, (aside from 1 good standout save I remember) I think it's pretty clear we need to shift all the back up keepers and find better, more suitable back ups
