Loans in and out

[Chris Black come back]

He’s a good keeper for us. I think most of the complaints about him arise from the terrible state of the defensive unit, and that we signed him for free from Hartlepool United.

lets make it sound worse "on paper" Hartlepool United Reserves please

[Campsall rover]

He was only 2nd keeper at Hartlepool because they had a very good keeper.
Still have a very good keeper ( same one )

[andyst79]

Fair enough we've had Dieng & Johnstone to name a couple but these were on loan. We never had a cat in hells chance of signing them. Good to have our own keeper and a bit of stability

He is the best keeper we have had that’s OURS and not a loan keeper since Neil Sullivan.

Better than Woods, Stuckmann, Lawlor, Marosi. Have I missed anyone?  We have had so many loan keepers over the last 8/9 years.
Yes it’s good to have one that’s our own again and even better having one who is as competent as Mitchell.

[ravenrover]

Better than Marosi, debatable IMHO

[Campsall rover]

IMO much better.  Shot stopping not much in it but on crosses Mitchell much more decisive and commanding.

It’s all opinions of course, but as an ex Keeper myself ( I don’t claim to have been a particularly good one ) but I like to think I know a bit about goalkeeping.

[andyst79]

Marosi wasn't rated when he 1st came here , but he worked on his game and steadily improved. He wasn't the tallest but was fast and agile

[Cramby10]

Couldn’t catch cold though. He was rubbish. A keeper that can command his box sets them apart from the rest. We’ve not had many of those for quite some time. But even to my surprise Mitchell can do this. He’s just hindered by the shite in front of him and playing to instruction.

Terrible with crosses cost us the play off at Charlton

[Chris Black come back]

The best attribute about Mitchell is that he is good on the high ball. We've been such a soft touch on that in recent years. Given how poor our central defence has been we need to thank Mitchell for bailing us out plenty of times in these situations. Dieng was very good on high ball, and Sullivan. We've had so many shockers though.

Really?

[roversdude]

In my opinion yes

[drfchound]

The second Charlton goal came about by Marosi slipping, it could have happened to anyone.
It is a bit harsh to say he cost us winning that game.
He was a very good keeper for us but I do think Mitchell is better at coming for crosses.

[sedwardsdrfc]

Seems the main criticism of Mitchell is distribution but personally I think he’s not that bad at anyway. Every L2 & L1 keeper is going to put it out of play a fair bit.

We didn’t realise how pivotal that slip could be. Was it just as pivotal as Tristam Whitmans equaliser in the Conferance Play off semi final v Chester or Andy Warringtons penalty save in the return leg?

Fine lines. Some we win, some we lose.

Agreed, we have slipped a long way down the hill since then.

You can go further up the pyramid, championship keepers find touch quite often too, De Gea's feet weren't that clever last night either, Jonny would never live that gaff down here.
If he'd have come from Man City's reserves he'd be much more popular here.

[Upton Rover]

We desperately need a proper keeper.

No we absolutely do not 'desperately need' another keeper.  Good shot stopper, has developed his command of the area and his kicking has improved significantly.  What do you suppose a different keeper would give us that Mitchell doesn't?

Agree that we need another keeper if we are to push for promotion, JM is at best average

So we should waste money on a keeper rather than the required midfielders, wingers and strikers?

you start from the back, if we start to keep clean sheets then the points will take us to L1 Keeper needed but won’t happen

[Upton Rover]

2nd choice at Hartlepool is not good enough for us,

So basically, every goal conceded in football is down to the goalkeeper. What a simplistic way of looking at things.

Is it always a keepers fault when a team concedes a goal?  Defences that concede fewer chances would concede fewer goals irrespective of the quality of the man or woman in nets..

When we're in L2 or even L1 pretty much every signing we make will be at the very least 2nd choice somewhere. Just because they're not fancied elsewhere doesn't mean they're no good. Look at the Marquis signing for instance

[steve@dcfd]

Todays bench shows why we need new players.
Yes we have injured players 3 defenders and Rowe. No Clayton or Griffiths who shows he was a risk signing and still can’t on the bench will he be able to go out on loan to a decent level. There’s no one on the bench today who could make a difference and we will be weaker if any come on. Loans are said to be the cherry on top of the cake. So let’s get some good cherries which make our cake more tastier

[Dr Fundlekrotch]

Back to the original theme of loans, I was surprised to see Woltman on the bench today. My daughter tells me that all pics of him connected to Rovers have been deleted from his Instagram page. Presume he’s on his way out

[steve@dcfd]

I would hope we get in two good loans at least before next Saturday. Midfield and Forward. Woltman and Andrews could go back.

[Arsenal Of The North]

Desperate for some reinforcements, miller looks like he’s blowing out his back side, also needs some help along side him, something extra and different in midfield is needed.

The bench is so weak today, my gut feeling is that Clayton and Rowe have probably been told they are surplus to requirements. I’m not buying rowes absence is due to back spasms still.

Griffiths will be on his way, tomlin to replace, and woltmon and andrews likely to be sent back.

We’re super light and need extra asap

Don't agree with Rowe. He has always had issues with his back but is a key player when fit at this level.

[sedwardsdrfc]

Rowe won’t be got rid of. The others you mention probably should be plus Barlow, Long and pretty much all our bench players.

Should give us funds to get some better players in.

[drfchound]

Who is going to take those players from us though.
