New Keeper

[KCNotts]

Welcome aboard Luke... if you do push Sam for the starting spot you must be a good keeper.

Gives you more confidence if you have a big lad in goal. I'd always go for a tall keeper. Ardley seems to like them smaller. McDonnell was on 5,11 too.

Generally speaking, taller keepers are usually better at commanding their area and better on crosses but will struggle getting down to fast low snap shots.

Smaller keepers are generally very agile and are good shot stoppers to have made it as a goal keeper. Peterborough had Mark Tyler, he wasn't tall at all but was a very good keeper. I think you need two towering centre backs if you have a small keeper though, something we seem to have now

Not overly fussed about height, Shay Given was a top class keeper and he wasn’t the tallest. Like we have seen in the past with players in various positions height is only an advantage if you use it. If he has a good leap then that could make up the few inches. Also taller keepers can struggle with low shots so for me it swings in roundabouts. Time will tell but another player at a good age for us

Steve Cherry was only 5ft 11 inches , and what a fantastic goal keeper for Notts he was

Probably most exciting Notts match I have seen - at Meadow Lane, anyway. Cherry was absolutely unbelievable.
