Terrible news. Panic stations to try and find and sign a new first-choice goalie of a good calibre ahead of Saturday. Wouldn't say panic stations. Just other options being explored/ advanced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Rogers probably (hopefully?) won't be first choice long term but should at least do the business competently enough in the here and now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 You'll hardly consider it a glowing reference and I understand why a club with top six aspirations would be hoping for a better first choice, but he's comfortably an upgrade on what you had last season. He had a few howlers early on with us but once he'd had a proper run of games - and it was his first in two years - he started to look like the goalkeeper his earlier reputation suggested. I know he was mince at St Mirren and that's the main top flight exposure he's had, but he's admitted that himself and said he was playing through an injury that pretty much stopped him diving properly for a few games, then after taking time out to have an operation he didn't play again. He didn't get match fitness back after that until he had a run of games with us and once he did there's not another Championship goalkeeper I'd have swapped him for, albeit the standard of goalkeepers in the Championship last season was poor. If he is second choice long term, he's an improvement on MacDonald. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is second choice long term, he's an improvement on MacDonald. Yeah. He was a bit of a bomb scare for us. He did only play five games for us, fortunately. His injury stemmed from an incident against Spartans in August where he did a comedy dive to punch a ball at the edge of the box. It resulted in a goal for Spartans. He played second fiddle to Craig Samson, until Samson left for Sunderland in November. He then played four games peppered with uncertainty and generally poor decision making, before Dean Lyness took over, until Hladky signed. Lyness went to Raith, and we put our youth 'keeper on the bench, before punting Rogers back to Aberdeen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estragon Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Hope he does well. Enduring a season with shite goalkeepers last year was absolutely harrowing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C4mmy31 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) We are being linked with Jake Eastwood from Sheff Utd now the Bachmann deal is off the table. Manager Dyer added: "I'm just about to bring a goalkeeper in any time now. Whether he will be ready for Saturday or not, we'll have to wait and see, but there will be one in the building - definitely. "Also, we want to bring in another couple of positions, but I don't want to say anything about the others."

Moomintroll Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Feeling optimistic at how we are shaping up squad wise, especially as Lord Dyer is still expecting another couple in after Tish is confirmed. Therefore all the signs point to us having a bloody 'mare. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, assuming Tish signs then I'd say all we need is another cb- only cause Rossi is a bit of a young unknown quantity and old Kirky since coming back in January hasn't looked great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broadfoot has been fine since he came back in January. I do agree though we need some extra competition in that area. The fans are just upset with him given the whole "Alessio is a muppet" interview he gave when he left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I agree with this, he's been fine since he came back. Folk are basing their opinions on off the field stuff, just as they did with several other players last season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casual Observer Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 We need competition for him, especially with Findlay only a year from being a free agent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
