4 Kiwis on the pine in the UK (incl all 3 keepers) and other 2 not in match day squads. Damp squid start to the season, unless Waineo gets on & bangs one in.
Saw that. Bit rubbish. Would have thought Jamie should have been in now that the other fella is out. But quite a few are starting to lose confidence with the coach. This might be another example of his odd decision making.
So they loan in a keeper on an emergency basis, but go on to lose both games anyway...
Seems like it would have been better for all involved to have an actual contracted player (Searle) play those games. Even if they go on and lose them both, at least it's going to tell you a bit more about your backup goalkeeper in pressure situations, rather than the bollocks fly by night approach that was taken.
Probably not a good way to build confidence for the youngster either. In fact, it's probably a little deflating seeing the guy in front of you getting injured, and thinking you've got a chance to come in and stake a claim, but then having the club go out of their way to bring someone else in.
Just venting here of course, but I don't believe I'd be alone in thinking this way?
They are crashing out of the football league. Maybe it's better he doesn't play so can't be blamed for this mess which could big time dent his confidence.
