[MarpleAlty]

Couldn't make the game last night as working until 6pm, streamed it, commentary from BBC on the stream was overall good and they were bemused as ourselves to the 5 changes. First half looked like a master stroke as we dominated but didn't get that all important second goal we deserved. I thought they would come at us, they changed shape and then errors from outfield players and keeper cost us. bemused why we changed shape and didn't freshen up keeping the shape that was creating opportunities. In the end lost by 1 goal in a game we had by the scruff of  the neck. Looking  to see a positive reaction on Saturday and get our play off push back on the rails. For me the keeper is the big dilemma, if Ross not fit then do we bring in Byrne. I now believe he deserves a chance.

Ollie Byrne is absolutely NOT the answer at this stage.

Matty has enough credit in the bank to go again on Saturday, Ollie (sadly) was consistently costing us results for a prolonged period of time.

Ollie,

I'm more than surprised if you think that.

You’ve got to be joking here right?

Ollie Byrne isn’t quite Andy Dawber bad but he’s not far off. I’d play an outfield player in goal if Ross and Gould were both injured

This is all a bit too far, for me he is better than Gould just on the basis he's similar skill level, but larger human.

I'd still not play him when his bottom lip might trip him up at any moment.

Gould over Byrne for me

Going for Go(u)ld but the loss of Ethan is now starting to take a toll.

Last season Byrne was ahead of Gould in the goalkeeping pecking order. Despite his problems in some games, there will have been a reason for that in the eyes of the management duo
That said, Gould has done OK before the Hartlepool game....with Baines playing !

My objection to bringing Byrne in would be lack of game time.....no idea how he is doing in training
