BroadstairsR 2,138 Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) I noticed that. We might well do with him as no.2, but only if Oxborough and Mair are not deemed ready. Rudd has been pretty good at Bolton ... did he play with credit against us two seasons ago? Edited July 22, 2020 by BroadstairsR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,138 Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) Yep. PNE. Soz. Why did that original report mention Bolton as he was never there. Or was he? He could still do better than ITFC though. Graveyard. Edited July 22, 2020 by BroadstairsR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,577 Posted July 22, 2020 Remi won't be coming back, Farke gave him a chance and he just looked so uncomfortable with the ball at his feet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not just that, some of those sorties off his line were never convincing either. As a shot-stopper, Matthews was very good, but he was too one-dimensional to really hack it consistently at Championship or Premiership level as other facets of his game were creaky.

Mason 47 1,373 Posted July 22, 2020 Tbf he's got good experience in both Championship and League One relegation battles. Right up their street. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Out of Rudd, Steer, Lewis, and Matthews it is Jed Steer who would be the most suitable to our style of football. We are good at producing these decent keepers though aren't we. Even during our academies long barren spell we could still churn out a keeper. Edited July 23, 2020 by TeemuVanBasten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,735 Posted July 23, 2020 Certainly wouldnt begrudge him going there....this is hardly in the same league as what andy marshall did ...with the club all through the youth system,played about 4 or 5 seasons as our first choice and then ,despite knowing the history, opted to join them on a free when he had other options. ..best thing was that they never accepted him and hated him there too 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They never accepted him because of his City upbringing and the abuse caused his confidence to collapse, which made matters worse. He was a very decent 'keeper though in my memory. However, I seem to recall that although a great shot stopper his command of his area was a weakness, especially at set pieces. He went on to carve out a decent career and became a stalwart in the lower leagues, but did the binners no favours apparently. I prefer to call him agent (Ian) Marshall. This goalkeeping history is very confusing for a wet brain like mine. There's also David Marshall along with Rudd, Steer and Matthews to work through. Let's that hope that Oxborough or Mair don't join them in the list of also rans. Yes. We have a certain history of producing decent pro goalkeepers and it clouds the memory. Only one went on (notoriously) to represent England and that was Green. Did John Ruddy get a game once perhaps? Yes Ruddy = one cap in 2012.

Are we also in a position to dictate who he plays for. Best of luck to him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David Marshall came through at Celtic, played 50 games for them and was 22/23 when he signed for us, so not one for that list. Joe Lewis needs to go in your list though if you are thinking of keepers that came through at Norwich. Edited July 23, 2020 by TeemuVanBasten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,615 Posted July 23, 2020 They had problems with both goalkeepers this season didn't they? Remi would probably be a decent move for them and for him in all honesty. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 5,925 Posted July 23, 2020 I wouldn't take this badly - Remi was one of those players who didn't progress quite as quickly as the club did. He had his chance and fell a little short. He's more like Arran Lee-Barrett rather than Andy Marshall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
