I would imagine that this will be a recurring theme of this window, MK's style seems similar to the one we are looking to implement and (for better or worse) they are roughly the same level as us right now.covered_end_junior said:He was apparently wanted by MK Dons as well.1 -

Thanks. We lost a bit of quality there. Hopefully Swindon losing the same (comparatively speaking). I have a nagging doubt though tbh.ricky_otto said:

Let him have it. It's distracted him from posting weirdly specific angry fanfic about DJ all day at leastChunes said:

Blindly, if you had a choice. Would you take the league 2 team of the year or the team that finished 8th in league 1's POTY? For the same position.RedRobin said:A signing I was half expecting, a modern day goalkeeper that can play a bit and be a sweeper. Macca doesn’t fit the way we will play so Exocet him to leave. Was hoping AMB would be our number 1 , still have hopes he will impress in pre-season,
League Two keeper of the year will do for me though, young and has signed a long term contract.
... Peter Clarke?
Let this League 2 'Team of the season' be a benchmark.
Also, didn't Swindon get relegated from League 1 quite recently?
And we stole DJ and Matt Smith from that squad.
But if we signed Cameron Brannagan who is his replacement everyone would be happy.
The original question was would you have league 1's 8th teams poty or league 2 team of the years player. In theory.
... because we would all (presumably) prefer Brannagan to a League 2 'Team of the season' player, then we should be happy that we got Brannagan's equivalent (a goalkeeper from Portsmouth) last season?
Or ... because we were (apparently) happy with MacGillivray last season, but that he has subsequently not impressed, then we should prefer League 2 'Team of the season' players?
Am I getting close yet?
Here's an idea:
Let's generalise that League 1 players are statistically better than League 2 players.
Let's get some of those.

Potentially another very good signing. I’m not too bothered about the L2 thing, although of course only time will tell how they turn out.I might start getting worried if too many more of the rest of our signings come from the lower leagues however.0

I don’t get all this “league two” stuff and comments. A club in our position will almost always have to buy players from leagues below us, we are not going to persuade good quality Championship players to drop down to league one9

I'm fine with it too. In the same way the highest performing players in league one will go to championship clubs, but we should be in with a shout for someone like Cole Stockton though.eaststandmike said:I don’t get all this “league two” stuff and comments.

Eh? Who did we have who was worse in the 90s?wmcf123 said:
Mc is the worst goalkeeper we’ve had as a permanent fixture since the 90s. Average stopper , poor distribution, dreadful box patrol. No idea if this guy will be an upgrade but I’m glad we’ve got a new keeper - I didn’t see that coming .DubaiCAFC said:Very pleased with this signing, for me a new keeper this year was going to be a our biggest signing.. For all of Mc’s clean sheets look good on paper, but half of those were games where a team could play all year and not score!! Doesn’t tell you the amount of mistakes he made, and how uncomfortable he was with the ball, and how many miss hit or wrongly directed passes put our players under pressure.Petterson? Even he was better.2 - Sponsored links:

What I like there is Davison placing the ball in the net, not just whacking it.Valley11 said:Will be at the WC as Ghana’s No 1.
And already links up well with Davison….

Was thinking this earlier. Bob Bolder is the first Charlton keeper I remember and we’ve been very lucky to have good starting keepers since then. Worst since then are probably Weaver and Thuram.jimmymelrose said:

I thought it was five. I remember a VoV cover with Big Ron holding his hand up, fingers spread, and the title "I'll take 5...I'll be back for the rest later".ricky_otto said:

It might be so long for one of them but not bothForeverAddickted said:Hopefully this is bye bye Macca... But sadly also suspect this could be bye bye Maynard-Brewer
Letting them go would be a foolish risk, what happens if our No.1 gets injured in just after the window closes? There's loads of valuable pizza and fizzypop cup matches to play to keep the reserve goalie tuned up.1 -
Previous POTY? What could go wrong?0

I am guessing that Nathan Harness will go on a season long loan somewhere. I would hope with an instant recall clause.
Somewhere local in the fourth division would be good, like Leyton Orient, Wimbledon, Crawley, Colchester, Gillingham or similar.0 -
eaststandmike said:I don’t get all this “league two” stuff and comments. A club in our position will almost always have to buy players from leagues below us, we are not going to persuade good quality Championship players to drop down to league oneWhat's particularly funny is if you look at the forum from this time last season, I specifically remember people talking a lot about how the best thing to do was to bring in the best L2 players as they are on the up. I can't remember if this was general chat or in response to us bringing in 'unwanted' L1 players like Mac, Clare and Dobson, but it was a big focus. Now that it's actually happening people don't want that either. We want all the best L1 players even though they'll be staying with their current clubs due to their price tag or heading up to the Championship (where I presume that the members of Preston Life will moan about them signing lower level players), Gallagher-level loans (even though we loaned him in the Championship) and quality Championship players somehow. If we don't tempt quality away from Sheffield United and Middlesbrough then Sandgaard is skint.I feel like it's easier sometimes to moan than to be positive. If you moan and you're right you get to say how right you were, and if you're wrong you get to say that of course you're happy the team did well, you just had some legitimate concerns. If you're optimistic and it goes well, great! If it goes badly though the moaners can hammer you with their genius judgment of Football League players they hadn't heard of before Cawley tweeted about them. It's not just here, defensive misery appears to be the standard appraoch to online football discourse for a surprising number of fans.12

And Australia qualified too ,But as the Socceroos have always been spoilt for keepers Brewer will be in the squad, but at no 3 (thats speculation). Watch Redmayne's penalty save against PeruForeverAddickted said:

Postulate is a great word.Henry Irving said:Evidence is not proof.
Evidence, in scientific terms, suggests.
But I postulate, based on the evidence presented, that the new manager IS having a substantial say in who we sign.

Haha... We're gonna love him!!
I would say his biggest weakness is being unable to command his area well enough. He comes for crosses when necessary, but only when he is absolutely sure he can get there.
Sounds as though he could be a bit like Macca, just better with his distribution

Olly really probing him with those "how much are you looking forward to..." questions.1

Its likely it'll only be the Port Vale on 19th November we could be in trouble for.paulg1947 said:
If Mac is let go Brewer will be in the Socceroo squad ,come November ,Jojo will be away too, we will be using our youth GKsChunes said:Maybe he's been signed to offer competition to our new #1, AMB, with Mac being let go.
Premier League teams play their last league game on 12th November, before the World Cup, so guessing that players will have to report to their countries around that time.
I'd be surprised if either Ghana or Australia go out of the Group Stages... So the last games for those two are 2nd Dec (Ghana vs Uruguay) and 30th Nov (Australia vs Denmark) - So we should have one of those two back, for the game against Cheltenham on the 3rd December.
Whilst it'll be a long flight, its only about five hours difference, so wont have to worry about jet lag
I still dont expect Maynard-Brewer to go - 2026 on the other hand I would... I mean he went to the Olympics, but Tom Glover (Melbourne City Goalkeeper) played instead, so wouldn't be surprised if he was ahead in the queue anyway.1 -
AMB was about third choice, but in Graham Arnold's, Socceroo squad never the less And Australia have always been spoilt for GKs any way.Probably comes with the indiginous SHITsports Wicket keepers in Cricket. High marks in Australian Ruleskillerandflash said:
Will BOTH of them be at the World Cup though?mendonca said:I think AMB will be given a chance too, what with the WC. Competition. Stake your claim.1 -
I don't think AMB is third choice, more likely around 5th. I don't expected him to go to the World Cup, especially if he's our Number 2 and doesn't play much beforehand.paulg1947 said:

I thought it was a decent bit of play and an impressive confident finish by Davison, good all round really...4 -
I am pretty sure Arnold had him at no 3 for recent play offs Andrew Redmayne was no 2, against Peru, and stopped the winning pen, in the shoot out. Strangely, Arnold took Ryan off about 10 mins remaning of Xtra time .As A R has a great pen saving record. Dosn't say much for Ryan's confidence thoughChris_from_Sidcup said:
Almost zero i'd say.Rothko said:On the World Cup issue, what’s the chances of AMB going in the Australian squad?
Never got a senior cap and not even in recent squads, so i doubt they're suddenly going to pick him as one of their 3 keepers.0
