I don't agree with signing loan players, ever, I certainly don't agree with signing kids to play in goal where you have wordly wise players in the opposition. They don't have the mental strenth or physical strength to play in the professional leagues and yes you can quote some we have loaned but did they get us promoted or not? They are just hanging about waiting to get a game and we are giving them to them. They owe this club nothing and we are no doubt paying some or all of their wages. The whole purpose of providing that link on GK's was to show people that GK's are better when they are older and not younger. If that is all drivel. Write to them and tell them. It could be that these loan keepers are not suitable or good enough for professional football like we discard academy youngsters. Its clear that they are not good enough and so what is LB going to do about it? I will guess and say nothing..Our fans are clearly not impressed by booing and LB is an idiot for targettting our fans who actually pay good money to watch the games and are clearly entited to cheer or boo. LB sounds to me if he far too close to the players and not the fans. Just my opinion listening to him.

The opposition coaches will clearly tell his players to target the GK as they did on Saturday and that will make the GK feel worse than what he probably does now..

The Chairman runs the club with his BoD...The manager is just an add on to come and go as the Chairman wants..LB is just an employee..
Er, how do you think the best keepers get to be the best? They get there by gaining experience at a young age and at a lower level. I am going to wave the red rag at the bull and say without the Academy we would have gone under a long time ago!
