Darren Randolph is to miss three matches for Stanley, Stevenage away, Rotherham away, and the Fourth Qualifying round of the FA Cup. Does this mean that Andy Dibble will be playing ?

zayno14 · 04-10-2005, 16:15

or fearon

Staveros · 04-10-2005, 17:04

Who else is there??

I reckon they need to ghet someone else in short term really.

zayno14 · 04-10-2005, 17:19

theres martin fearon, danny alcock (injured), randolph (int. duty) andy dibble

We have only been playing with randolph recently without a sub keeper on the bench. Coley may still risk this with dibble in net or as you say bring in a loan signing.

Is that Fearon really a player or what though??

I seen him in the bar and he's a titch, surely you need some size to be a keeper at this level??

zayno14 · 04-10-2005, 17:31

woah dont knock him since you have seen him play mate

size isn't everything but it helps, he is a regular in the resevers i think and has been in the first team squad (number 18). Fabien Barthez isn't to big either neither is dudek

Both can be good keepers on their day, honest

Those keepers dont look big but they are both 6 foot. Ive met Barthez in the Crowne Plaza in Manchester and he's bigger than he looks on the pitch.

I agree size isnt everything BUT there is being small and there is being REALLY small. Admitedly ive never seen the lad play but he looked about 9 stone wet through to me, I reckon some of the experienced pros would bash him up from set plays.

Randy is a good build for a keeper, he's a big old unit.

For me your keeper must be 6 foot, 12 stone or bigger. You need some presence. Only my opinion but its SUCH an important position.

Cafu01 · 04-10-2005, 17:48

11 stone 3lbs dry actually

zayno14 · 04-10-2005, 18:50

There you go staveros

Staveros · 04-10-2005, 18:54

Come on then, I dont know anything about the lad, fill me in.

What are his strengths/weaknesses??

Do you think he is physically mature enough to handle the pro game if he was called upon NOW or what??

Can you see him being the Stanley No 1 in years to come or is he just here to make up the numbers??

These are the questions, give me the answers.

zayno14 · 04-10-2005, 18:59

just so you now staveros. Cafu01 is fearon (just making sure you know

) Ask him or any of the stanley ultras fans team. Mind you he doesn't play in goal for them so thats no use. Have only seen him play once and he had a very good game tipping a goalbound effort onto the cross bar. An extremely agile save, Magical

yeah I know he is cafu now.

im not asking him though, you cant appraise your own game fairly can you!?

I want to know what those who have seen him think.

Someone must be able to give me the low down on this cat??

Leave the lad alone to progress and get on with his career. I know, maybe we should sign Nigel Letemin or the whole Everton team. That should see us back in the Unibond in no time.

dont be soft!!!

I was just trying to find out what people think of him cos he asked me to after my earlier posts!! we were in cahoots you see.

Looks like we've got no takers Cafu, they like you but they dont know anythin about you!!

He is very good, and a VERY experienced coach at stanley says he is VERY good and one to watch for the future.
