on the goalkeeping front remember we also have a young man named weaver , give him another go see if he can still keep a clean sheet,in my oppinion we have nothing to lose.
Stick any keeper behind a defence that operates like ours at the moment and they will concede.
The problem is with the defence, not the keeper, and nobody on the coaching side has the ability to set the defence up properly.
DJ has appointed Wilkinson who I believe is capable, but his strengths are obviously attacking and not defending.
He needs to swallow his pride and get a defensive coach in quick or we are going to be trying to out-score the opposition every game, and we'll mostly fail !
Wilkinson Attacking? Serious?
Yes serious, with the number of goals we've scored we'd be in top three if we weren't leaking 2-3goals a game at the other end!
Disagree Kirkland is a shot stopper and only that. He does not command the defence like Bywater does. Bywater would not solve all our problems by a long way but I'm certain he'd do better. You only have to look at the vast numbers of goals conceded by Kirkland season after season at Wigan to realise that while he may not be the only problem he is certainly part of it.
