I always felt Lawlor had potential but he just couldn’t seem to find the confidence to make use of his frame and athleticism by coming for crosses and commanding his box. He was a decent reactionary shot stopper but almost glued to his line when the ball came across and it cost us so many times. Sadly there was never any sign of that changing with coaching. Marosi was a better all round keeper. Dieng was in another league entirely.
Oldham’s first choice keeper is Gary Woods
Marko needed to command his box better and the number one rule for a goalkeeper is never change your mind ie hesitate, that’s why I never rated him , being able to pull a fine save off now and again does outweigh the mistakes and hesitations that cost us goals

Such an odd one with Marko. Coventry mates rave about him as one of the best keepers they have ever had but he never filled me with that much confidence. Would have chosen Dieng over him all day long.
Hasn't Bywater been released?
Glad it's sorted that out then. Lawlor is a panic merchant and has zero calming influence. Dieng was the opposite and was one of the best we've ever had if not the best in modern times. Marko was somewhere in between but good enough for me but he needed to get away to find a first team no 1 spot.

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but how do loans fit in with the salary cap? Say Lawlor is paid £2k a week and Oldham are paying half of that, would £1k count towards our salary cap and the £1k towards theirs? And what if there was no contribution to the wages, just a loan fee - would that be a way to circumvent the cap?

Who would you chosen between Lawlor snd Marosi though, that is the comparison
