windermereROYAL 6 foot 4 inches, big lad.
Everyone is expecting this new chap to play in goal.
Andy Carroll is 6ft 4
Karl Hein is 6ft 4
Coincidence? Not if that's the only search criteria Reading put into we-find-any-player.com

Coppells Lost CoatMillsy Southwood isn't as solid as we want to make ourselves believe he is. Several errors made.
He's clearly not just backup as we already have Andresson. While Hein may be another Virginia, he may also be decent so I'm up for this.
My only confusion is if we're worried about Southwood's form why not try Andresson rather than get another relatively unproven lad in.
I bet Southwood has had to deal with a significantly more shots than any other keeper in the league. Significantly more looping crosses. Plus we put 10 men up against him for corners / freekicks on top of what ever the opposition throw in too. He has become a target for the opposition.
Yes a few costly mistakes but probably saved more than he should have.

yeah…it is all a bit sh1t or bust tbf.NathStPaulAthleticoSpizz Awwwe, we’ll take any glimmer of positivity right now.
One word, Martinez…
I get that side if it but the difference is Martinez had played a lot of first team league football before joining us, was a lot older too.
I wouldn't have been against an experienced keeper coming in but for us to sign a 19 year old kid on loan fills me with dread.

hughsies no.1Snowflake Royal Well glad to see the club proving they're still utterly clueless.
Southwood has made a lot of errors of late, we are bang in a relegation battle and last thing we need is costly keeper errors. Club/ Pauno clearly felt this was an area that needs addressing for the run-in. So I wouldn't call that clueless at all. One question mark would be around whether we should have got an experienced keeper or not but FFP could have scuppered that and this guy is very well thought of.

As you say, target for the opposition, who do their homework and do more long shots/ looping crosses. That doesn't vindicate him, it just proves he's a liability who can be targetted easily.
If he gets more shots coming at him than anyone else (which may be the case, I think someone said he is high up statwise in terms of saves this season) I wonder what his error to save ratio is. How many extra games does a standard keeper have to play to face the same number of shots... and how many errors do they make across those games?
I want Pauno Out asap but I don't think his issue has been not identifying the right players needed eg Carroll, Rahman, crucial signings at the right time.
But yeh it is a bit odd. Bring in a proven top class keeper, sure, but another academy guy? Weird. Let's hope it works out well.

Excellent reason to sign a 19 year old with no experience.
Southwood's errors are being overplayed. He's made two big mistakes and been suspect on another 2 or 3 goals in over 20 appearances. Otherwise he's been quality. It's his first season and the defence is a shambles. It was never going to error free. But for him, Fulham would have hit double figures.
Compared to most of the rest of the team he's making far fewer costly errors. Laurent, for example, has cost us twice as many goals in the last few weeks. Drinkwater has been a constant source of errors.

Snowflake Royal If only the club would act on the complete lack of faith everyone has in Pauno.

genome Possibly the most Partridge shrug of a signing I've ever seen

Barney We've 19 games to go. We are a club that does tend to have more than its fair share of injuries,
If LS got injured we would have been knackered. We have cover. Simple as that. Not costing a fortune, only here for
three and a bit months. Most other postions SHOULD be covered with injured players returning.
And let's be honest, we are not in a position to pick and choose who we want.
Can't quite understand the ridiculous levels of negativity. Then I remembered......it's HobNob.
