Easy 10
Brain dead MUG SHEEP
Sorry if already been said but last night Poyet said he didn't want to bring in a new forward at such a late stage as it might unbalance the team.
Now we have a new keeper who hasn't got a clue about how we play or who the rest of the team are and is being put straight into the team - explain that?
Would it have been as big a risk to play Poke and see how he did in a really competitive situation? 4 keepers and 2 not considered good enough - somethings wrong somewhere
the timing does strike me as a little strange. Had weeks to assess Poke and Walker but only the day before our first game do we get some one new in. Will he even know the names of the back 4? Got no doubt he will be good just the timing strikes me as quite strange
If Brezovan hadn't got crocked then I'm fairly sure we'd have gone into the season with Brez as the number 1 and Poke as his understudy. However, following this pre-season, Gus clearly doesn't feel that Poke or Walker are ready to take the number 1 shirt from the start, and so has instead been DECISIVE and elected to get some experience in.
Thats not "strange", and its not "wrong". Its a sensible decision, and it undoubtedly makes us stronger in that position. Thats all that matters as far as I'm concerned.
