I have to say I am hugely relieved at gaining a point at Boston. I don’t like to single out the goalkeepers for criticism because, in my view, they are the last line of defence, and if the defence doesn’t deal with the opposition’s attack first, they leave the GK exposed. Our defence is poor at defending high balls into the box. That won’t change with a GK from a “higher level” and while that defensive weakness continues opponents will always get “tap ins”. I will accept that the GK is part of the defense, and that having a keeper who confidently comes for crosses ( and manages them) may improve the situation, but our opponents counter is to put the crosses in deeper ( beyond the keeper’s reach) and pressurise the fullbacks. I suspect with our current fullbacks (Ollie Rose excepted) we may well then have a “fullback crisis”
