www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p08xz9g443:05 MON saying the additional keeper should be here within 24-48 hours. Interview with Nixon saying last time he checked we hadn't managed to agree terms with Lonergan after going in for him over the weekend "so it could be someone else". Says it's currently 50-50 "if they come up with the money, but not sure they will" Interesting point that whoever it is will probably be playing in the League Cup QF as Bursik is cup-tied and the other 2 may not be ready. Seems to think Bursik will remain No.1 Is it only free transfers we can sign then? Can't we do emergency loans? Think it's free agents only now because Bursik has been recalled and he's played 5 senior games which takes that option off the table. www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/stoke-city-joe-bursik-huddersfield-4723133

Oh right good to know. At least its a keeper where their match fitness isn't as much of an issue. Hopefully Bursik will exell and all this new keeper will be is a bench warmer.

MON said yesterday Davies is likely to be back a couple of weeks before Gunn, but nothing is certain. Think the initial prognosis was 4-8 weeks on Oct 30th. MON says he's back "doing very light stuff, but hard to put a time frame on a return"

I think it is a good idea to bring in an experienced GK. If Bursik got injured or something (illness, etc.) we would be very exposed. Regarding the first goal on Saturday some on here say he could have saved. Yes, he could, but it would have been a brilliant save if his hand had pushed it round the post. That is something Banks was so good at, he seemed to instinctively know where the ball was going to go.
Going back to John Farmer at Wooly GS, I did not know he went back to present prizes on Prize Day. I do know he wasn't in the 6th form. He left early to go to Stoke and didn't stay for exams. You could leave school at 15 in those days. "Pecker" Williams was very annoyed with him not completing his education. Regards to all those former Old Wolstantonians, - doesn't that sound dated these days?

"Pecker" Williams was very annoyed with him not completing his education. He must have taken OU or something in later years. You don't become a published poet with just the basic levels. I haven't read his full collections, but I came across selections in anthologies and they were good.

Don't know much about him other than he saved a penalty against us a couple of years ago Mostly positive comments from Bristol City fans although sounds like he's had his injuries

He played at the Bet365 when they beat us 2-0, the game when the fans were mocking Rowett and he lost his shit after the game. I have zero recollection of him which I'm taking as a good thing.....

Shot stopping over/under performance from the current free agent keepers who've played in the Championship/Premier League since 2014/15. Angus Gunn included as a baseline. Only two worth a look. Massive mystery how Lee Camp has managed to play 160 games over the last six seasons. View AttachmentAccording to Tachyon's number crunching, Lonergan is maybe the best of the bunch available - but the better of his stats were 5 years ago! He featured very prominently on Tachyon's chart!

Above average Championship keeper in 26 games as recently as 2018-9, and only 35.
Can't argue with that.

Another name for Nigel to struggle over the pronunciation! Not sure I’ve heard him try Nna Noukeu yet.

Maenpaa sounds a solid option as GK cover - I'd be tempted to give him a deal until next summer, particularly if young Joe is earmarked to return to Donny in January. Low cost, low maintenance, can step in and do a job if required.

I've never heard of Nicky M on that list - why no enthusiasm for him? If he actually plays for somebody else then ignore me. I thought so. Looking at Tachyon's list, it does imply that we are using very data driven recruitment. That's no bad thing.

Don’t think the first goal is on him tonight tbh but the second was poor. Yes he’s learning but he needs to be doing it in League One.
