Championship, league one-ish keeper. Should give the defense more stability.





Hopefully

That's clear from your post.

Sounds like a great signing - well done to all involved in bringing him to the club!

Eh? I was just pointing out that it was clearly tongue in cheek and it seemed you had missed that.

Quoted from LH
I think you could do well in League Two with an average keeper and average defenders as long as they work as an organised unit. McKeown does have his weaknesses but show me a player playing in League Two who doesn’t.


But if we want to be in League 1 we have to aspire to getting better than average League 2 players.

Not seen him play but another keeper was absolutely necessary whilst Macca is out. Not knocking Killip but he hasn’t looked comfortable to me. Obviously early days in his career though and I hope he continues to improve.
Kean to start tomorrow please (I’m sure he will).

You’ve missed the point entirely. Whilst there are exceptions higher up the leagues (Leicester 2016, Huddersfield 2017) of lesser teams being organised enough to be successful - in League Two organisation is king. The players aren’t as technically gifted or consistent as their fellow tradesmen higher up the divisions so if you can get a team pulling in the same direction nine games out of ten in this league you will do well.

Chant for the new keeper -

I've just looked through the list of songs recorded by Keane and found.......

Once you go up a division you need to change some if not at least a 3rd of your team due to limitations, if you go up with League 2 players playing out of their skin every week and as organised as one unit, better players in the league above will exploit those limitations and that will eventually cause those players to dip and then the slide back begins. We need a good mix of players who are already good enough for league 1, players who will develop into competent league 1 players and that comes at a cost. Either great scouting through rough gems, loans or investment.
