Syteanric 1 Posted October 24, 2013 who do they have as back up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crabbycanary 2 Posted October 24, 2013 Steve Harper I think, ex Newcastle. Decent replacement Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted October 24, 2013 Fair enough, over the hill, but a decent keeper and nice guy. It''ll be good to see him get the game time.I wonder if he''s up there on the money made per minute played ratings? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete 319 Posted October 24, 2013 What is it with Everton and goalkeepers thighs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,221 Posted October 24, 2013 They have Harper as a back up.I like Bunn, I thought he was a good shot-stopper and did well for us at times.But on paperHarper > Bunn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted October 24, 2013 I''d rather Bunn, Harper is like 37 isn''t he now? He''s past his best, Bunn has had more game time recently and i''d feel more confident with him in goal than Harper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barclay seats 4849 the 3rd 0 Posted October 24, 2013 You seriously thin our pathetic ( at times ) season was due to Mark Bunn being in goal ...???? It was a little bit deeper than that ![quote user="Jimmy Smith"]See how Hull deal with losing their first choice keeper, it did us in last season by in large.[/quote] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted October 24, 2013 no...Bunn is a excellent goalkeeper... but he isn''t world Class... Ruddy is.. and that made the difference... Ruddy would have made saves that Bunn wouldn''t.this is not a criticism of Bunn either. who i think is the best backup Keeper we have had in years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Well I Never 0 Posted October 24, 2013 I''d have thought the difference between McGregor and Harper was less a factor than that of that between Ruddy and Bunn, not dissing Bunn at all.More surprised at what''s not been said about Davies, who has looked solid, and our not having been in for him when we had the opportunity.Not having a go, may have missed a thread or two on the topic.

BroadstairsR 2,168 Posted October 24, 2013 I''ve been waiting for Hull''s bubble to burst as I anticipate them to be firmly amongst the strugglers eventually.This could be the catalyst. It nearly did for us despite having the admirable Bunn who certainly did well enough to ensure that we didn''t have a repeat of the Bryan Gunn scenario..The loss of the number one number one is a big blow to teams like Hull and us.For some reason I am also thinking of Villa''s situation and how they might get on relying upon young Steer for a prolonged period.

Well I Never 0 Posted October 24, 2013 I don''t think it will be such a loss for them, plus it''s only six weeks...I guess we''ll see... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Paddons Beard 2,431 Posted October 24, 2013 [quote user="Jimmy Smith"]See how Hull deal with losing their first choice keeper, it did us in last season by in large.[/quote]After Ruddy was injured against Everton, we went on to draw the next game (Southampton) then win three games in a row. Not sure that it is fair to say that it "did us in" . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
