Warner vs Paston

Wasnt sure if you have been posting seriously or not, until i saw your post in the away form thread suggesting ricki coaches for home games, and someone else coaches away games.Im now convinced youre having a laugh.

Both are off contract, so lets get through this season, then re-sign Moss and a young keeper to be his back up.

Who will be keeper for the AW,s friendly in Feb?....Moss is injured. Is Rickie going to play a keeper who won't have played for 3 to 4 months?

Objectively, why would Moss leave the Gold Coast where he is captain and probably on a decent wicket (nice environment too) to come back to Wellington? The only young keeper I think you could use (I haven't seen him but I read he is has a bright future?) is the Wellington kid Basalaj. Would be youth (ticks a box), is a local (ticks a box) and would be ideal for learning considering back up keepers don't play much in Wellington.... er.

Paston has said he has had talks with other next year but every player does that to keep their value and demand up.

GCU has a policy of only offering 1 year contracts. If we could offer similar terms but with a longer contract length, he might want to have his future more secure.

I don't think Paston is overly briliant, but he surely would have saved the near-post shocker Warner let in on Friday night.�

I couldn't be at the match yesterday, but I don't really like that chant as it's effectively saying to our goalkeeper on the park that we don't think he's good enough.

True. Looks to me that Paston might actually have a higher "game to howler" ratio than Warner. Paston is 1 from 1.

This goal is a perfect example of one of the reasons why i dont mind seeing Warner in goal. Doesnt even attempt to save it, just watches it go into the back of the net.

Yesterday vs Sydney Warner made a brilliant reflex save to deny Mark Bridge in the play leading up to the penalty. And even though maybe he could have done better with the second goal, every keeper makes mistakes in games.

Yeah I feel like if we did bring Pasty back in, we would soon realise that we wanted Warner back.

Pasty does flap around a fair bit and punches far too many crosses.

Plus that goal highlights something that he has done on more than one occasion.

My point exactly. However i think Paston does need game time especially with the World Cup qualifiers coming up next year (even more now that Moss is injured).

I would laugh if some of the people who say Warner is sh*t started hating on Paston if he lets in a soft goal or makes a simple mistake. Warner is a top class keeper, especially for the a-league, and is probably the most experienced the Nix have had

This year buddy. Also theres that proposed friendly vs Canada next month, we really need to do well there as well.
