Goalie was definitely Mowbray's blind spot.
Great keeper and a great article.

Just imagine Mowbray's 04/05 team with Andersson in goals, it was a good season but he could have made the difference. The cup run the season before shows exactly why he should have been offered a new deal.Quote:

Mat Doumbe was another who got away at the same time. Blobby took him down to Plymouth iirc. A fine defender.
I think it was also about money. Hibs were skint, Andersson would have been on a good contract and Mowbray wanted to sort out other areas of the squad, so he got a cheaper keeper.Quote:
