WPM 2025/26 Squad Speculation, Confirmation and Mutual Termination

Duncan's save % this season 63.4%. He's been upsurped by 21 yr old Jack Warshawsky at the VUC. The last VUC match Duncan started was Jan 2nd.

Oluwayemi has a save % this season of 65.7%.

Josh O is younger and more athletic than 33 yr old journeyman Duncan. 

Oluwayemi is far likely to pull off some top saves in a match, that could be vital to getting a result. It's just whether Greeny & Cope (if they are there next season) have faith his bad clangers are mostly behind him.

His partner is Kiwi, his child is technically kiwi (born in Wellington) so surely there is slight hope there. I think he would thrive under Greenie in a 4-2-2-2... oh how I can dream.

On Josh, I am quite surprised the amount of people who are keen to keep him. To hold an import slot, especially as a keeper, you have to be miles better than any local talent. Is he? Yes take the derby's away and he's been ok but the guy cannot claim a cross to save his life. Even in Christchurch he got super lucky to get to that ball at the end - he completely misjudged the flight of the ball. He is also terrible with his feet. If we want to be more fluid and retain the ball we need a keeper who can play to feet/find their team mates.
