A very knowledgeable gent of my acquaintance wants Fitzsimons dropped for the next match.
We argued about this for quite a while during the game after the latest piece of insanity. With a handful of games left – the thought of a junior GK in for critical matches pressed my panic buttons.
But not too long after the goal was conceded we had yet more evidence that Fitz does not learn anything from experience – there were several more instances of crazy play.
Alright then. Go on. Drop him! If losing us the game singlehanded does not fettle him – what else can be done?
All his great keeping is wiped away by his wild extravagance. I keep thinking we have a Grobbelaar in our midst. Only more so!
The refs in NLN may be shocking – but I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the standards of goalkeeping. So many great keepers in that division. Well – think how many have thwarted us!
He’s expensive. Let him go. I am longing for a GK who does the right things and has just a bit of flair. Such a man need not cost the earth.
21 clean sheets could have been – perhaps – 27. ???
