Don’t rate Travers… He is tied to only play for Bournemouth or us for the rest of this season, but we aren’t tied and he’s no better than Bonham for me. Doesn’t make many saves, terrible at crosses and palms the ball straight out into the penalty area with most saves. We need better than either of them to be fair. I think that you are miles off with that assessment to be honest. I do love opinions and I appreciate your politeness. What was your opinion on Travers’ few months here?

I’m not sure but he can’t sign for any other team this season than us I believe, or he could but couldn’t play for anyone else. I haven’t checked those rules to be 100% sure but think it was discussed at length when he went back.

I haven’t checked those rules to be 100% sure but think it was discussed at length when he went back. In his case, I don't think he's tied to just B'mouth or us because he hasn't played for them. It looks like you can be registered with 3 clubs - but only play for 2. That rule did screw up Josh Bowler last season - but he'd actually played for Olympiakos and Blackpool - so he had to go back to Blackpool if he wanted to play anywhere And it also stopped Liverpool signing Nunes from Wolves last year. www.sportbible.com/football/liverpool-transfer-news-matheus-nunes-wolves-january-midfielder-747849-20230201But until he actually gets on the pitch for Bournemouth, it looks like he's free to play for another club.

Anyone who thinks we can bring a better goalie in that Travers is certainly way more optimistic than me. Thought he played ever so well for us before he left, but of course he made some mistakes as well. Every human will make mistakes, but it's about keeping the numbers as low as possible, and Travers is certainly the best we've had since Bego in my opinion.

Shame 😂 The amount of players like Iversen that just sit in the reserves of clubs instead of playing football is laughable. Serves them right when their career stalls to nothing. Yeah I bet they're crying in their mansions.

Liked him I thought he bought a calmness than Bonham just doesn't exude. Bonham perhaps makes more spectacular saves and distributes the ball faster but Travers seems to make the routine saves unfussily. I feel more confident and less anxious with Travers in goal.

I think that's the big difference between Travers and Bonham. The stats show there isn't a lot between them but it certainly doesn't feel like that when you're watching. Bonham doesn't exude the same confidence and he's not as vocal.

I disagree, I found Travers no better than Bonham. Since Bonham has had a regular run in the team, he has been excellent. His quick long and accurate kicks have set up many a counter attack.

Bonham has made some outstanding saves recently. Doesn't deserve the stick he gets

Bonham is a better keeper than Travers . Just that his reputation has been created by this board and its agendas . Travers makes mistakes . Every keeper does . Even Banks .

We deserve to stay in this league or lower when you have people happy with Bonham.

I know, PPI, closing down branches, the whole sub prime mortgage fiasco that triggered the world financial crisis. They're buggers for mistakes.

Id be quite happy to have him back Even though Bournemouth could call him back again should their first choice be injured? Permanent gk needed as cover for Bonham. Whether we then also loan Travers is the question but we must not leave ourselves with just Travers and Bonham again.

If we loaned him again it’s nowhere near as simple as they can just recall him again at will just because their first choice gets injured. Anyone would think it’s in the gift of the loaning club and something that happens every 5 minutes instead of something rarely heard of.

IMHO bonham is a great number two keeper at this level and a number one lower than the champ. I have no problem with him being there in case of injury or suspension and would be happy for him to be the cover. But to get out of this league we need better, go back to Travers and do think he’s better than Bonham but not by a massive margin but those margins make a big difference and he has more experience at this level. Best analogy is when we went up to the prem Simo was a ultra reliable keeper but never outstanding if we hadn’t upgraded with Tommy I think we would have been down that season, Tommy had levels better in experience and ability. Ps I think as a free transfer that Sorenson is in the top ten transfers this club has made in my lifetime. While Bonham is our keeper he’s got my backing but I do believe we can improve in that department, we could probably improve on travers if the scouting department has been looking at it since he left go back to the coast.

Anyone would think it’s in the gift of the loaning club and something that happens every 5 minutes instead of something rarely heard of. It’s something that we have done 3x in about 4 years ourselves: Simkin, Blondy and Bursik. That’s probably the vast majority of our goalkeeper loans in that time.

Seansea but then he saved last minute v Millwall and reading last season . No other major errors. Minor ones but nothing calamitous. He’s a good keeper. Obviously we need another keeper as if he gets injured it’s unfair on Simkin

We’re not watching the same game if you think Travers was no better than Bonham. You won’t see Travers make many mistakes for the simple reason that he’s rooted to his line. I like him but he’s not a keeper that commands his box from what I’ve seen so far……

Let’s be honest the whole Bonham is no good saga emanated from someone trying to deflect the debate that Bursik was poor . In fact every shot went in . Now there was a keeper that was dire . His save on Friday was exceptional but has gone under the radar

I think that you are miles off with that assessment to be honest. I do love opinions and I appreciate your politeness. What was your opinion on Travers’ few months here? I thought that he was largely solid, better than any keeper that we have had since returning to this level. Strong at coming for crosses bar ipswich away. Good shot stopper, his save percentage would support this and his kicking was normally spot on also.

He was solid and about as good as we will get in our current position.
