Why 2 Goalkeepers on bench?

[Bob Fossil]

Maybe he thinks that Wildsmith would make a better striker than keeper (not difficult)

Dike would probably make a better keeper and he's made of Balsa wood.

There must be some logical reason.I noticed Villa had done the same on Saturday and other clubs have also done the same.Another changing theme is that I think I read that Tottenham kick the ball straight out of play from kick off,I believe Athletico Madrid used the same tactic as well.

I’m never understood why other teams don’t. It pins teams in their own half and with the penchant for fannying about at the back that clubs now do it has a statistical chance of creating chances.

Didn't we used to do that under Megson?

Yes. The ball was regularly played back to Neil Clement from kickoff, he would routinely launch the ball into the opposition's half down the flanks. More often than not it went out for a throw and they were hemmed in.

We have 9 subs. Grant, Dike and Bany are injured, all of our best youth players who are the closest to making the first team are out on loan and Bostock made the 20. I'm not sure this really matters.

From X

.... boss Ryan Mason on having two goalkeepers on his bench. Touches on protecting training situation and young players from premature calls - adds they must be “earned”.

Does a player get marked as appearing if they do t get on the pitch? If they do, maybe it skews their value as they'll have more apps?? Or maybe Mason just likes fucking with our minds and he's sat their cackling over this Fred?

Okonkwo? That lad is very raw. Are all our keepers loaned out? Is Brad Foster still with us?
