Bristol Rovers Post Match Thoughts

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

Phillips was in the league one team of the season before he came to us. He's ok for me though as mentioned, we have been spoilt over the last few years with quality championships/premiership keepers

When it comes to keeping clean sheets goalkeepers are only as good as the defence in front of them and that defence is only as good as the midfield in front of them

In both areas we’ve been lacking

If we want a decent keeper, find an up and coming young un and bring them through. Where did we get Viktor from and bring him on........nowhere, that's what we have to do.( i know it was Leicester)

Our 2 keepers have both got faults and can't get rid of them, Phillips cant even kick it...............

Remember when Viktor came, it was between him and Vickers, and he looked the better option but then suffered his hand injury and his confidence suffered. That let Viktor in and he took his chance............

Was it not Blackman who (inexplicably) kept Viktor out of the 1st team?

It was Blackman, he kept Vickers out as well. Vickers was third choice that season and never played a game.

I don’t think it was inexplicable, probably a loan condition

Viktor couldn't kick or catch a ball when he first arrived. He punched everything .. Good thing was he was quick to learn so going back to Philips. He's either too old to learn or the goalkeeper coach is not as good as the one we had for viktor...

Cheers, I'd forgotten about our star loan. So we had 3 keepers that season, so they're out there IF we've got anyone who's capable of spotting them.

Can't we just ring Willy McKay at Bawtry and ask him?

The club ought to have gone back to Leicester City for another goalkeeper, they have a lot on their books.
We had Daniel Iversen on loan from Leicester City, 2029-20 season he made 34 appearances.

Stoke City had Iversen on loan last season 2023-24 [ Stoke City signed Viktor 2024 ], Iversen previously
at Preston North End on loan.

Talking of goalkeepers I noticed that Marek Rodak is now playing in Saudi Arabia at the age of 25.
I wonder if TS would be prepared to match his wages to bring him back to us 🙂

Daniel Iversen with Millers should read 2019-20 season, he made 34 appearances.
