Dundee want him out the door so should be easy enough to deal with if the rumour is accurate. I think we made a speculative enquiry in the summer if Rocky hadn't been available.

I think we need genuine competition for the gloves so would be happy enough to sign a proven, decent Premiership keeper.

Rocky has indeed been poor these past few games and he really needs a wee break to relieve the pressure.
Laidlaw is good but currently injured and Bain is an even better keeper and certainly up to matching and surpassing Rocky in the goal keeper stakes.

I don’t buy this needs a wee break thing, why does he need a break? He’s meant to be our number 1 keeper. Isn’t he on a 4 year deal? If he can’t handle being a Hibs player he shouldn’t be here If he can’t handle pressure

Absolutely. Marciano needs to take a break from making costly mistakes as do other players.

Rocky doesn't need a break, he needs competition and Bain will give him that. Laidlaw was purely a back up, he was never going to oust Rocky as no.1.

I keep hearing this about players, how they need a bit of competition for their place.

Who were the players behind Herriot Brownlie Schaedler, Stanton Black and Blackley, Edwards O'Rourke Gordon Cropley and Duncan?

Who was Nick Colgans deputy, or Ray Clemence or Peter Shilton's, even Andy Goram?

Players are either good enough or they are not in my opinion.

Pretty much agree with this G but keeper is a unique position. Re the Tornadoes that you quote then Hamilton, Hazel & Higgins were the obvious replacements to the status quo. Des Bremner then came along & unlike a keeper Des could play full back or in midfield. There's no hiding place for Rocky, he's either good enouğh or he's not
Talk of competition is IMO irrelevant.
Unfortunately i believe the latter is the case. Im not a huge fan of Bain but i think he would be better than Rocky.

:agree:

Not seen anything much of Bain, so i cant really comment on him.

When like you i watched the tornadoes, when either Edwards was suspended, or Cropley was injured indeed any of that 11 did not play, i bet like me you thought oh christ whoever we bring in is nowhere near as good as the player he was replacing.

That team had no back up players, no players who were there putting pressure on their place. Neither did any of the other players i mentioned.

Who is the player putting pressure on John McGinn?

Hard to argue. We lost Brownlie & Edwards, ludicrously, on Jan 6 & fell apart. It was a different world then though, the same 11 players were expected to play week in week out. I remember reading that in 50's I think we played the same 11 players 3 times in 4 days at new year. No subs allowed. We won 2, drew 1, clean sheets 3!

In those days a suspension was days not games, and Edwards was suspended for ages, was it 40 odd days? That and Brownlies injury handed the title to celtic. :boo hoo:

Peter Shilton was Gordon Banks back up at Leicester and Chris Woods was Shilton's own deputy at Forest. Bruce Grobbelaar came in for Ray Clemance when he left for Spurs and Tommy Lawrence was the Liverpool No1 when Ray Clemance came to the fore. :greengrin

Apparently Laidlaw is out for around 2-3 months though. If Rocky was to then suffer an injury we'd be struggling.

I don't necessarily want to see either of our current keepers leave but with one injured and the other in a bad patch of form I don't think another option is a terrible idea.

We’ve only got one just now who is going through a bit of a rough patch. Laidlaw is out injured long term. Both can be very good and have won us points with some incredible saves, but both have also cost us soft goals as well with some suspect goalkeeping. If Bain is an option i’d sign him no questions asked.

Nothing like good healthy competition for places G, look at the top teams in the EPL, their benches would walk into any teams starting 11. Back in the days you're on about we had a starting 11 plus 4-5, then a group of youngsters/reserves, the 1st team squad would play nearly every game if possible. Having good competition is good for he squad, keeps the players on their toes, they'll know if they're not performing there's someone champing at the bit to take their place.

Of course Liverpool really broke the mould when they paid several million for 2 keepers, Dudek & Kirkland, on the same day. Very strange that was.

Went to school with Bainy, he was in my year.

Definitely not the troublemaker he’s made out to be, think McCann tried to fine him wages for something and Scott went to the PFA about it and that’s why there’s a dispute.

No doubting his ability, he was by far and away MOTM against us up at Dens.

If we sign him, I reckon it'd only be 4-5 games before he's being slated on here, with folk asking what happened to the keeper who had a blinder against us at Dens....he had a good game then, he's a bang average keeper though.

For me, he'd be better than Laidlaw, but still not as good as Marciano.

I quite like Rocky, although I'm disappointed with his recent mistakes. But I'm also a believer in Brian Clough's policy of building a team around a keeper as the most important player on the pitch, so if we were to invest in a better keeper id be all for going for it.

WTF??? In all the games Laidlaw's played (and he's played quite a lot) I can only recall him having ONE bad game.

All that's terrible is your ability to assess a football player by the look of it - stupid comment totally divorced from reality.

If Laidlaw is out injured for an extended period then the move for Bain makes perfect sense - otherwise it would be surplus to requirements.

He got his fourth booking of the season against East Fife.Lovehad kicked him up and down the park without sanction apart from the odd free kick.Love lunged at Edwards again and Edwards skipped past him and into the box so the referee decided to give us a foul.Edwards picked up the ball and threw it down in disgust So was booked and as quickly as they could manage suspended for 8 weeks

Now you saying that , it kinda coming back to me , he was kicked up and down by love that day and the suspension was because of his previous misdemeanours. Some reason I mind chic mcleland of Aberdeen getting him sent off , might have been a different season
