IMO the keeper is the most important position on the pitch.
A good keeper who commands his area instills confidence throughout the defence, and this spreads into the rest of the team. An inexperienced keeper, who is prone to mistakes instills a nervousness across the defence, and by extension to the rest of the team.
It is no coinicidence that SUFC have struggled defensively over the last few seasons. If we ever want to progress and return to the EFL we need to find a good keeper.
This.
It should have been sorted pre-season, along with the centre back position. Build a team from the back, and you’re on your way to keeping the point you start with.
