Loan or permanent?

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Any news on a new defender? Not like we don't need one 🙄

[Billy Whizz]

When did he last play a top team match?

[Unseen work]

Based on very little I think he’ll do well for us.

I know Plymouth fans were slating him which is saying something but an Arsenal supporting mate of mine said he has always been impressed when he played for them.

To still be on the books of Arsenal at 26 at training with them every day you must have something about you.

He’s a great age for a keeper and has all the physical attributes a keeper could want.

I can’t help but feel he will do very well and then leave to a better team in the summer when his contract expires...

Bigger, perhaps. Never better.

[The 90+2]

Meh keeper replaces meh keeper.

I genuinely have no idea if he’ll be good, bad or somewhere in between.

As much as he’s been on the books at Arsenal he’s only ever played twice for them. 60 odd career appearances at his age doesn’t inspire me. If he was a few years younger I’d maybe look at it more positively.

Time will tell with him but, unless Rocky is out injured for a long spell, I don’t think he’ll play too often.

The Pilgrim I know who tells things as they are said:

“He’s not bad, but didn't set the world alight for us. 38 games, 70 goals conceded, 5 clean sheets I think.”

Make of that what you will. “Steady” might be the best summary.

[Lancs Harp]

Cant say as I know anything about him or even heard of him before if I'm honest.

Good luck to the lad and he takes my very best wishes pulling on our shirt.

A keeper can’t keep clean sheets on their own - no matter how good they are.

Doubtlessly a better option than having the goalie coach on the bench. Hopefully he impresses and earns an extended stay, but a short term contract makes sense for us just now.

Be interesting to see if it's him or Kev that gets the nod against Celtic.

5 clean sheets in a side that were relegated is maybe not bad.

Our last loanee from Arsenal was god awful. Hopefully he's a big upgrade

Dabrowski played for dumbarton in the cup group stage so possibly cup tied?

If so i would expect the new guy to play with the semi final in mind.

Good shot stopper and looks like he has a bit of metal about him . Some pen save too .

[ekhibee]

Just on that he looks quite good, a good penalty save and some other good saves as well, particularly against Blackburn (I think it was Blackburn anyway).

[spike220]

Yeah look at what happened we settled for a EPL reserve GK!!

He was in terrible physical shape, not match fit and looked like he belonged in the que for pies at Stories.

Then something magical happened........

Think it may have been Bristol Rovers.

Does Rocky want to stay? Not heard anything on the new contract front? JR hinting people may leave this window? Could we see Rocky leaving as I find it strange we’ve recalled and brought in another keeper?

I said just as much on another thread, I think hes off masel.

He wants to try his luck in Italy. Whether any Italian clubs want him is another matter though.

something unorthodox about a lot of the saves in there :greengrin
Let's hope he hits the ground running if called upon.

[GreenCastle]

Doesn’t seem to hold onto anything...

Thought he could have caught quite a few of them.

[Hibee Mac]

That kind of video shows very little to onlookers for a keeper in particular. About as much use as watching a video of all of a keepers conceded goals one after the other!

Testimonials from previous clubs hold a lot more weight for me with keepers

[1875Sean]

Would liked to see Dabrowski get a chance but as he is cup tied I think Macey will get a run with the semi finals in mind

[basehibby]

Agreed - a few exceptional saves in that compilation, the penalty pushed onto the crossbar being one of them. That's not all there is to being a good keeper although it's a big part of it - I'm guessing he'll be straight in for the Celtic game with the semi coming up for which Dabrowski will be cup tied.

Welcome to Hibs Matt and here's hoping you have a quiet time in your debut on Monday. Either that or a MOM performance will do - nae pressure :aok:
