Surprised he ended up at Gills to be honest, looked Championship level keeper whilst he was with us a few years ago.

Should have broken the bank to keep him.

Should have broken the bank to keep him. Be honest, why would you want to stay at rovers unless you were a Bristol born? Just a job like any other for most footballers. |

One of the best keepers we had for some time!
Surprised to see him go from Gills but Stoke will like him!

Preferred Lumley and Jaakkola tbh. Bonham was a good keeper for L1 but he didn’t stand out as anything much better than that.
We’re lucky as a club that we’ve had some good keepers over the last 3-4 years.

Decent keeper is Jack but I agree with Axe, our current keeper is better. How we have held on to him I don’t know but it looks like we have.

Neil Etheridge was a bit special.

We’re lucky as a club that we’ve had some good keepers over the last 3-4 years. Believe it or not but Lumley played 16/17 season Then we had a bad year of Sam Slocombe and Adam Smith 17/18 season Then Bonham joined and played 40 times in the 18/19 season (Smith went out on loan) Ansi then joined but due to injuries and international call ups only managed 21 games during the 19/20 season Jordi played 5 times and Jamal Blackman played 10 times before the season was cut short Ansi managed another 21 games last season with Day, Jordi and Jed Ward filling in |

Jakkola stands out but Bonham and Blackman were good for us!
Lumley and Roos made too many mistakes; prone to coming out too much!
If we can’t retain Jakkola or not fit, we could have goalie issues? Joe Day was good for us and unfairly criticised by some fans? Not his fault he played with such a terrible defence! We should have retained him as cover?

Quite like the look of former Swindon / Leyton O keeper last season

A few times where it was not so great such as 17/18 and just recently after Jaakkola was injured, but on the whole pretty solid. Hope Jaakkola can play more than 20 odd games this season, he’d be such an asset to us if we could keep him fit for a whole season. |

We have had some good keepers, the fact that many of them have played in the Championship is proof of that. Shame we didn’t actually own them. Is Bonham likely to be first choice or sat on the bench?
UTG!

He moved from us because he wanted to be near family? Stoke is totally different so needs must if you have to work? |

Like Lee Brown also left us only because he wanted to be closer to home and then to show up at Pompey which still was a fair distance from whatever he calls home. Makes you wonder if it’s all a load of bollox that we get told when popular players leave doesn’t it. |

It was DC who said that Browner was moving to be closer to home, I believe that Lee himself cited different reasons for the move. |

To be fair the gaffer isn't exactly going to come out and say "Yeah he left because we're sh**e and he reckons they've actually got a chance" is he |
