Yep this is an area i reckon Dean will want to change..maybe this lad will be the one...i can see Gary Woods going out on loan...one day he will be a cracking keeper but i think too much pressure was put on him this season..

Do they show stats for Goals conceded? I would imagine they would be relevant for a Goalie, I would be looking at goals conceded where at fault and goals conceded due to tactics.

It would make interesting reading that...maybe there is a site somewhere, don't know where though...

My cousin once let 8 in against Galatasaray, he didnt get sacked though as most were not his fault. Shocked

Hopefully Deano and his backroom boys will work their magic on him...looks like a good signing though if true..its the one area we really need to strengthen..

Looks unlikely to happen.

True the article doesn't look favourable. I can't see what either Kirkland or Wigan have to lose here ? scratch

Suppose we have to keep looking, you would think that a Goalkeeper would be one of the easier positions to fill..

I suppose its a financial thing. DRFC want to pay X% of salary , Wigan want Y%. Looks like a compromise has been reached as Radio Sheff is reporting he has signed till January.

Looking better now if that's the case. Smile
