The truth can seem harsh sometimes

I think we could all name and shame the 'usual suspects' easily enough, but lets look forward rather than backwards.

Mersin got picked because he was over 6ft tall,therefore he must've been brilliant . Forget Mersin swordy, what about Lucas Covolan ? Not an ounce of Englishness, born and bred in Brazil and carries an Italian passport. Even worse, he's 6'4" and by your reckoning completely the wrong height for being a decent keeper. But he ain't doing too bad for an over-tall foreigner imo !

I think we are lucky to have Lucas along with plenty of other players in the squad. George has got the team purring along nicely. Every chance of a home win tomorrow !

We are very lucky to have Lucas
He was training with Chesterfield all pre season and only become available when Chesterfield decided to sign another keeper right before the season started.

I've enjoyed the pile on because I was never really in the goalkeeper debate but if all of you have no other reason as to why our defenders are doing better this season than last season then you really know very little about our fine game🤣🤣🤣

Just a wild guess on my part.

Your wild guess may well be on the money.
But having a very decent keeper this season helps as well.

A poor National League defence will always look a lot better when they are playing against worse players in the National South.
We conceded over 100 goals last season, however bad Mersin was, and he was bad you can't blame it all on the keeper, the defence also played a big part in that.

Grovie has to be right. We had a useless keeper who got defended by the usual suspects on this forum. Having to play in front of him shredded players confidence. He was defended in here better than in the pitch to be fair. I actually seem to remember he was not necessarily touted as being decent but just as being just as good as Hadler…..anyway….Covolan is mustard

I have never at any stage said that 6ft plus keepers are not ideal, my beef is that Grover refuses point blank to believe that anyone who is under 6ft can do just as good a job,which they can.

Not just under 6ft is it though, its 5ft 9.
