Ironking’s opening post has it. GK is the most important position on the field at this level.
Why? Coz you start the game with a clean sheet. If you can keep it clean, you get a point. And, with a bit of luck up front, you get three. So, you build from the back.
It’s easier to stop goals than score them, and a confident GK who can organise and spread confidence in the defence, particularly in a young team, gives us a chance next season.
Good GK’s and defenders are much cheaper than good forwards. This is a hard league and we’re hard up. A good keeper won’t save just save shots, but points and money too.
