[Albion] Who would go in goal if Maty took a red 'for the team'?

[Nottseagull]

Seems Graham likes to use all his subs, and I envisage the Aussie switching codes briefly to bring down that forward about to deprive us of the points in the dying minutes. Hopefully he'll have ventured outside his box (like v. West Ham) to do the deed, but are any outfielders designated as emergency 'keepers?
Dan Burn seems an obvious contender in that his height makes up for his (presumed) lack of agility, but as this is the opposite reason for Ryan's success it's perhaps a poor call!

Dunk. Already happened.

 

[Invicta]

Dunk did it couple years back vs Forest I think

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Dunk. Already happened.

He did and he did it well.

 

[Nottseagull]

I know it's unlikely, but suppose he's already been subbed?

Dunk never gets subbed unless injured.

OK suppose he's been injured, and subbed

Just make it up as you go along.

Just make it up as you go along.

It's speculation.

I know it's an aside to a hypothetical but no Premier League keeper has been sent off since they changed the rules to stop the "double jeopardy" of a penalty and red card.

2015/16 season was the last time.

Well assuming Matty gets a red and Dunk is injured or perhaps suspended, my guess is Trossard would be put in goal as he can jump like a salmon.

He’s about 3 foot

I'm guessing whichever keeper we have on the bench

Not sure that’s how the game works. All the subs have been used. Dunk has been injured / suspended or is on jury duty. You have to pick an out field player. Obviously Trossard.

This was Trossard on the way down. I think he leapt about 5 feet in the air so would be excellent at catching corners.

 

[studio150]

Why didn't someone ask this question at the Fans Forum given it's on a level with leaving someone up field on corners

Wouldn't he have to be outside the box under the double jeopardy rules (as long as it was a genuine attempt to win the ball, not just going all Harald Schumacher on Salah or something)?

If we use the starting XI from the weekend, I would imagine the pecking order goes;

Dunk
Burn
Dufffy
Murray

 

[Normal Rob]

He’s about 3 foot

but so is Maty.

 

[Stat Brother]

Dunk would have Maty's gloves off him before the ref has even reached for his cards.

6 inches taller than Ryan then!
