Macey v Letheren

[PL2 3DQ]

Macey was fit enough to be on the bench for 8 games during January and February so it doesn't look like he has a clause in his loan deal that he has to play when fit.

He's out of contract in June and if Arsenal are not offering him a new deal they are probably not bothered if he plays at Argyle or not.

The top priority for next season is to sign a keeper on a permanent contract.

Man City conceded a goal from a free kick yesterday. It does happen. Keepers make mistakes even at that level. How many mistakes did our defence make on Saturday?

Here's another thought, Remi Matthews (now at Bolton) the Keeper we all wanted to keep, let in 4 against Derby the other day. They're second from bottom and most likely to be relegated as well as all their other problems going on.

Is he cr8p now as well ? Looks like, that if we stay up, we had a lucky escape by not getting him.

Do you think that Macey has any flaws in his game, or do you see him as being a flawless keeper?
If you think he does have some flaws, what would you say they are?
Interested to hear from one of his supporters just what it is you find so excellent about his game.

DA was critical of Macey for the way he lined up the wall & his position when Donny got their second from the free kick. Bet he will be in on Friday though :facepalm:

The results with Letheren in goal versus Macey speak for themselves. He HAS to start. I’m very pro-Adams and this is genuinely one of the most frustrating moments with his management I’ve experienced. It makes absolutely no sense why a Macey is starting.

I bet he won't. I think Adams has finally realised what a lot of us already knew.

Or DA is just saying ..’ this is what you should have done.. now you’re lucky to retain the no.1 GK jersey so don’t let it happen again!’

If Macey plays Arsenal pay the wages, if he doesn't we pay his wages, that explains why he's getting in ahead of Letheren then.

Incidentially the same thing happened when Stockdale got in ahead of Romain in the season we went down.

Is that really how a long loan works? Interesting to hear your confirmation of this, as indeed that would explain why Macey keeps getting picked.
If so, then what a gamble is being taken with our future, for the sake of a few thousand on additional wages.

Is this true! Is it a normal loan agreement with higher clubs for their young starlets?

If so explains a lot :banghead: but boy that is short sighted at this time. More important we stay up.

Anyone willing to admit after yesterday that it may be possibility that it’s a Defence problem and not a goalkeeper problem?

Because for all of Letheren’s commanding presence and organisation of the defence, we conceded two free headers and a counter attack that started when he booted the ball to the opposition...

Edit: sorry, he did a bad kick which found a green shirt unintentionally.

Mr Nobby, Letheren found an Argyle player who then passed the ball to a gillingham player to start the counter attack.

In defence of the keepers, if they make a mistake, it could cost a goal, but what about the other positions, how many times have we seen a fwd miss a sitter, or a poor pass or a cross when we've had players un marked, mid fielders not picking up a runner or miss placing a pass and defenders giving the ball away in our own 3rd or not marking players. Or the manager making poor decisions or substitutions, and poorly conditioned players getting injured in training, then getting injured by poor rehab or getting rushed back to quick due to poor treatment and training.Their all culpable in our current down fall.
