Goodrham shows more than a lot of our senior pros. You may still see more of him this season.Shame we've not got a few more wins so we'd be able to see some more of McGinty, Golding and Johnson (off the top of my head), along with Goodrham and GO'D.
Negru is another one who might not be that far away from being ready.Shame we've not got a few more wins so we'd be able to see some more of McGinty, Golding and Johnson (off the top of my head), along with Goodrham and GO'D.
Robinson was talking about him being a midfielder before.

Tbf whingy has played him a lot at right back too, particularly last season.Congratulations to our bright youngrightcentre back.
Get a grip.Could he replace Eastwood as we need a decent keeper?
He’s a bloody big part of it, I’m afraid!!Get a grip.
He is not the reason we are fighting for survival.
I forgot that guy signed for usNegru is another one who might not be that far away from being ready.

And not the only position that needs addressing.Don't know why goalkeeping is such a blind spot for our fans - but it is.
I don't really want to mention xG (as it gets some so irritable) but we're not conceding tonnes of good chances - we may be flaky we're but not getting over-run. We simply concede far too many of the relatively few chances we face.
Invariably this will be met with cries of 'Eastwood has made some saves' - as though that isn't his job. The starting position for a professinal goalkeeper isn't 'every shot faced is already a goal - any saves are a bonus'.
To flip it around, if we were creating tonnes of chances for a striker playing every week, and he had only scored 4 all season, you wouldn't cry 'he has finished well 3 or 4 times' - you'd rightly point out that another striker would have had 15+.
If we had a keeper of the calibre of Michael Cooper we'd be about 10th.
Eastwood is nowhere near good enough and goalkeeping needs addressing this Summer.
not at the moment as he is out for the season - though yes he is very good as Plymouth are now wobblingDon't know why goalkeeping is such a blind spot for our fans - but it is.

Everything in the corner seems to fly in, yes, though I think it’s partly because we’re so bad at protecting the box that we allow strikers a clear shot.Don't know why goalkeeping is such a blind spot for our fans - but it is.
