What’s the thoughts on Matt Macey brought in from Arsenal ?
Loan or permanent?Quote:

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.Quote:

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

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.
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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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

That's a good pointQuote:

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).Quote:

Then something magical happened........
Think it may have been Bristol Rovers.Quote:

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

Doesn’t seem to hold onto anything...Quote:

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
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
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.Quote:
