Yet another thread, this time about a loan goalkeeper, changes course and hits the rocks where according to several on here the UWE project has already floundered. Not only that, Henbury has now informed us our Captain is now about to jump ship and leave the rest of us to comtemplate the future of our beloved club. My own thoughts, the UWE is going to happen and as he stated, Captain Wael is in for the world cruise not just a trip around Lundy on the Balmoral! Chuffin Puffin hell - I love the cruise to Lundy on the Balmoral

Fortunately the team have performed the last few home games so he's barely been called into action. Seems a nice guy who adds to the team spirit but nowhere near good enough for League One. He didn't meet the grade at Braintree in the Conference earlier this season so cannot be considered a long term answer. That's rubbish - he got injured at Braintree in the FA Cup and so came back to us as his loan was due to expire and we needed him fit due to Mildenhalls injury. I understand more than 50% of his Rovers appearances have resulted in clean sheets! He deserves more support & respect! It's far from rubbish. Did you watch him in action for Braintree? If not, here's his action and I'll let you judge if he's a League One standard goalkeeper. Braintree 0 FGR 1 (0.40 in)
Lincoln 3 Braintree 0 (0.05 in)Braintree 1 Boreham Wood 2 (3.35 in)Braintree 1 York 1 (0.13 in)
Portsmouth away for us (1.05)

I understand more than 50% of his Rovers appearances have resulted in clean sheets! He deserves more support & respect! Yep whenever Puddy has had a decent run in the side we've done very well and conceded very few goals. Unfortunately because he was fouled against Dover, made a mistake in his first game in months at Shrewsbury and saved a goal at Wembley he's not good enough to many. He was massively error prone in the Conference and we got away with it on several occasions. At Portsmouth and Shrewsbury, we didn't. Dover wasn't a foul, he was outjumped. Simple as. We would have won the Conference title had that not gone in. The idea he saved a goal at Wembley is laughable. The vast majority of referees would have sent him off and chances are, we would have been non-league for at least another season. Sheer madness if we don't bring in an experienced number one when we're a point off the League One play-off's.

Whilst I don't think Puddy is up to Div 1 standard 9 refs out of 10 would have given a foul on him at Dover, if you think otherwise you simply haven't a clue about football. The occasion seemed to get to him at Wembley, but was that really a crime? God knows what he was doing V Pompey but he hasn't let a shot like that past him since and Shrewsbury was just a stupid mistake, not really down to him being a poor goalie. Assuming Fleetwood survives the snow forecast then it should be a good test for him, to see if he's up to Div 1 standard or not. Although DC has to bring in another goalie now but how does the emergency loan rules apply now we're down to just the one fit goalie with league experience?

Easy to 'blame' Puddy at Wembley but most of the team were poor in the first half hour. Brown was easily as bad as he has ever been for us and was getting skinned left right and centre

Watch it again and tell me it was foul?The more I watch it, the more convinced I am it wasn't. The odd ref might have given it as goalkeepers are incredibly protected but I can't see anything there, other than a flap and stumbling off balance. Course it wasn't a crime, but it was symptomatic of his performances which largely contained at least one error a game. His career with us has been littered with mistakes when called into action and he was far from convincing in the Conference with Braintree as you would have seen.

Certainly looked it from where I was sitting. A real moment of madness which we're incredibly lucky didn't have a different outcome.

Not sure what you are trying to prove, even if we all agree Puddy made two mistakes does that mean two seasons later he's not allowed to play in the first team? I doubt many fans think he's good enough to be our No 1 but we don't control the transfer deals or pick the players, so all we can do his support him when he plays.

So, to summarise:
• Roos has returned to Derby • UWE has fallen through • Wael is going to sell the club • Dubey has left
Anything I've missed?

Hang on, most of us thought Roos wasn't up to Div 1 football, DC manages to manufacture a situation where he's recalled and so off our wage bill and posters complain? What would they sooner happen we're stuck with Puddy in goal and Roos on the bench until the summer. Hopefully the Italian goalie will now impress this week and he's signed or DC moves on to his next target. It's hardly DC's fault Roos is now seen as inferior to an ex Conference goalie? Exactly this! Curci was hyped up to eventually replace Buffon 10 years ago. Ok, so what has gone wrong?! Who knows, but Dc has clearly played the Roos situation smartly and will not be surprised to see Curci sign for us later this week.

A real moment of madness which we're incredibly lucky didn't have a different outcome. another poster on here said it wasnt but i actually did have my eyes shut,one thinng i would say in his defence that day was that he recovered his composure and gave an assured display in the 2nd half and during extra time. im pretty sure we will sign a new goalkeeper this month though.

It's my belief that we need a new goalkeeper as soon as possible to give us the best possible chance of competing for the play-off's. For the reasons I've given above, I don't think Puddy is that man. I'd love to be proved wrong, just don't see it.

But if it suits our back 4, they know him, he knows them, that's got to count for something. And I hate to labour the point, 12 points for 15 with him in goal. Why labour a point if it's wrong? Six games since Shrewsbury 2 of which we lost and 2 of which were against the most woeful sides (bury and Coventry) that I've seen in a very long time, not sure how good or bad Northampton actually were because I think we left them shell shocked after 20 minutes. But hey why would we ever expect a squad of players to be improved? Sorry, I thought we'd won 4 out of our last 5 games.
