gonna need a loan in, dont think Bart can hack it

 

he did v well on loan at Barnsley last month - think he's a decent keeper, but has been shown up by our shocking defense in the last couple of seasons.

why ?

He did well against Charlton and kept a clean sheet for 35 mins tonight.

Goalkeeping is all about confidence and he looks a lot more confident than he did in the last couple of years.

makes a huge difference when you have a competent defence in front of you too.

 

none of this Makin/Powell nonsense....

Bart was quality against Charlton.

 

Maybe, but in my opinion we need a keeper with experience similar to Kelvin, and getting someone who will push him number 1 spot when he returns (soon please!) would be good!

I'm not too fussed. It's a blow, but I have faith in Bart. Yes he had a mare playing behind Makin, Bennett, Powell and other defensive monstrosities, but he looked solid against Charlton and I'm sure their goal was offside.

Agreed. It is a blow to lose Kelvin, but I do think Bart is a decent keeper.

Great to see a good old Blackadder quote. Missed out the word "satanic" between "own" and "herd" though. Sorry for being pedantic !

Gutted for Kelv but am confident in Bart. Needs a chance like this to prove himself. He is easily better than Forecast and any other keeper we have.

Can't see what all the fuss is about. We have two quality understudies and it's good for them to get a chance. He'll be missed of course, but let's give some respect and support to the other keepers who now get to prove their worth.

Sure this is a big blow, but thinking about it Kelvin hasn't really been needed as much as last season (I mean when was the last time he even came close to the MOTM award?). For all the faults of our defence and not keeping clean sheets, Kelvin's been much better protected this season and I don't actually think GK is our priority position at the moment. Bart will do just fine

Give Bart a chance for a few weeks. Maybe this is the opportunity he needed to show everyone what he's worth. If not, that's good to know as well. We can move on and get someone else in as backup.

 

Agreed. At least we will learn some more about Bart. He could still turn out to be a great keeper. He looked really good before his injury a few years back - was it at Newcastle in the cup - can't really remember...

Well a few weeks ago I wanted Bart gone.

 

But I have a feeling the time may be right for him to come into the team and take over the Number One spot permanently now. He has all the attributes you could ask for in a goalkeeper but seemed to lose confidence completely a few years back

 

If he is ever going to make it this has got to be his time.

What on earth would be the point of having a reserve keeper and then go and get a loan in, I guess that would make Bart feel good. Some people really do need to get a grip. Bart would have played anyway in the JPT and FA Cup I would think. We don't need a loan. Only issue is who to stick on the bench, would rather have Poke than Forecast, but suspect we cannot recall Poke from his loan at Torquay (is that correct?).

Gutted for Kelvin but more than happy with Bart so far this season- has the potential to be an all round better keeper IMO.

 

Its just has he mentally got what it takes? Didnt he say to Burley in the play off games his head wasnt right?? Worrying...
