At the very least feel that Macca and AMB should get equal game time during Pre-Season.mendonca said:One thing I would say to those pushing the case for AMB. Don't expect the finished article but do expect mistakes which are hopefully just stem from "learning on the job".
If we primarily see Macca, with Ashley given limited minutes, then I'll be pissed0 -
i would also agree that we need an upgrade on MacGillivray - he doesn't command his box well enough for me, his distribution is OK and an upgrade on Phillips but thinking of keepers we've had in the past few seasons, Ben Amos is clear.1

I'd take it.Mendonca In Asdas said:He’ll probably end up player of the season as we storm the division, and he’ll end up leaving on a free at the end of the season!0 -
which ever one is starting the season as number 1 needs to play the bulk of preseason, especially with a new defence in front of themForeverAddickted said:

Thanks for the memories Mackeeper.0

Seems like I’m in the minority here when I say I think there’s a good keeper in there.2

Macca’s days have now got to be numbered. Wouldn’t be disappointed if he left1

The times I have seen Harness play in the 1st team the biggest weakness I can see in his game is when he has the ball at his feetSwisdom said:the modern goalie needs to be an extra defender and good with their feet. If we are going to play that was we need a new #1
AMB is a great goalie but I’m not so sure he’s a ball playing gk
Harness is s bit more comfortable with the ball at his feet as is Kone but suspect neither ready for regular first team football yet.0 -
Wonder if his tweet early was a bit of a dig5

Agreed, but at least for the opening couple of Friendlies.cafcdave123 said:

Certainly come the Swansea game we need to have decided on who is going to be Number One0 - Sponsored links:

Shot stopping is supposed to be his strength but he was one of the worst performing in the league. He had some good games, but a lot of those clean sheets were home wins where he had little to do. Really hope AMB or a new keeper can take his spot this year
Same stat but for league 2 and I think we are definitely getting an upgrade. I’m assuming Wollacott can use his feet better than MacG as well

Who’s this Shamal George fellow? Not been on my radar at all.0

Twitter is a mouthpiece for arseholes isn’t it? So bizarre.12
-
He isn’t wrong though is he? Craig wasn’t good enough. No idea why he was fully expecting to be number 1? First bit of competition and he starts liking fans tweets about how harshly he has been treated ?1
-
I wouldn’t be shocked if the Club weren’t bothered about Craig Mc being one of the departures to balance the books19

If Craig MacGillivray has been liking silly tweets, he'd be well advised to get his head down, work hard and try and win his place back in the side. He'll presumably get a chance to stake his claim in November/December when Wollacott goes off to the World Cup with Ghana.5

Exactly. We’d be foolish to have no experienced cover over the WC given how many games there are over that periodBlucher said:If Craig MacGillivray has been liking silly tweets, he'd be well advised to get his head down, work hard and try and win his place back in the side.

Considering AMB won’t be going to the WC now, presume they’ll be happy for him and harness to be cover0

Now Unliked all the tweets, must have realised how embarrassing it was

If someone like Dobson (who was actually good last season and popular with fans) is still facing a fight to be first choice then for McGillivray to think he wouldn't is either delusional or arrogant or both.
I don't think he's a bad keeper honestly, and behind a consistent and well drilled defence he'd probably look pretty good but he certainly did not cover himself in glory.1 -
Ruled out until at least December, so won’t be cover unfortunatelysammy391 said:Considering AMB won’t be going to the WC now, presume they’ll be happy for him and harness to be cover1 -
What I thought was bizarre is how highly rated CM is by some of our fans.Valley11 said:Twitter is a mouthpiece for arseholes isn’t it? So bizarre.
I don’t think he’s terrible at all but we’ve had quite a few good keepers in recent history and he’s got to be one of the weakest.
Perhaps the difference with GKs is you sometimes have to look for what they’re not doing. I’ve never been concerned a Championship club might come in for him, unlike say Dobson and CBT.2 -
Hadn’t thought about it till the squad numbers, but I suspect that they’re looking to let McG go to help balance the books, he’s clearly not the right kind of keeper for Garner. If we did though, I’d worry a bit for the month we don’t have Woolacott or if he got injured. Think we’d have to replace him with a season loan.1

I don't think anyone who has been around the football club in the last couple of seasons has got a leg to stand on should they wish to get pissy over new players coming in. We have been mediocre back to front and behind the scenes. The attitude I would want and expect from a player in this position is to use his first bit of genuine competition since he's been at the club as motivation and make the shirt his own. Instead he's acted like a prat liking tweets. Forget the on pitch stuff, the mentality isn't there.18

If we flog him it will only be another £7,999,999 to go to balance the books.....RC_CAFC said:Hadn’t thought about it till the squad numbers, but I suspect that they’re looking to let McG go to help balance the books, he’s clearly not the right kind of keeper for Garner.

Our worst number 1 keeper in years, just hope the new keeper is better otherwise we're in trouble15

Haha what a gimp for liking those tweets.
If the reality is we have to let a bigger earner go in order to bring in a senior striker then we should cut Craigy Mac loose.
The guy is allergic to leaving his six-yard box. Pointless individual.5 -
On the same day Maccy D’s put up their cheeseburgers by 20p , first time in 14 years, uncanny!0

I think he was probably just liking them as a thanks for the show of support. He probably realised it wouldn’t come across that way. For all I think we can do better, he has always come across as a decent bloke.MickeyBennett said:Haha what a gimp for liking those tweets.
