It seems to me we've gone from having an over abundance of talent between the sticks to now having solely Rocky and Dabrowski.
Now I don't know anything about Dabrowski really so idea if he could step up if Rocky had another injury or, perhaps more pressingly, if we saw Rocky move on given he is entering the final year of his contract I believe.
Thoughts? FWIW I don't necessarily see Rocky moving to Celtic, as some appear to be suggesting: he has flirted with Rangers in the press in the past and I think he'd prefer a move to Ibrox.

Backup Goalkeeper

Dabrowski is 22 now, if he isn't ready to be back up now then it's debatable he ever will be. The days of keepers being left out of the firing line and called babies until their mid 20s are long gone, bigger clubs than us have gone with young keepers in recent years and seen the rewards.
It could be that circumstances have forced our hand but I'm glad to see us have a young goalkeeper in and around the 1st team squad. It's been far too long since that was the case.

I remember Lennon giving laidlaw the jersey when rocky wasn’t at his best, I’m sure people were putting the lack of form down to lack of competition, hope that doesn’t happen again this year.

Kevin’s an excellent goalie, I just think he needs to be playing every week at his age. Sitting on the bench isn’t going to help his development

With Marcianos contract situation there is a real opportunity for him to stake a claim as our number 1 moving forward.

I'm not totally sold on Rocky, but I think we'll probably see a decent season from him this year as he'll be playing for a free transfer and tasty signing on fee at a bigger club next summer.

I’m sure we’ll get an experienced back up in, let Kevin get a years experience playing somewhere else

Dabrowski is a decent backup goalie and if we never give him the chance he'll never be able to take it. Start him in cup competitions and give him the opportunity to challenge Ofir for the jersey.

I actually really rate Bogdan, he may well be better than Rocky but its got nothing to do with playing for Bolton years ago. Both very solid goalies, especially at this level. Wont waste time comparing them.

He played a few games in the season we were relegated but wasn't great. I think his last ever game would have been a 6-2 defeat at Motherwell. Duffy was sacked, Billy McNeill picked Gottskalkson for the next game (a 3-0 defeat at Pittodrie) then McLeish was appointed and promptly signed Bryan Gunn. Gunn wasn't brilliant either. The goalkeeping position was a huge reason we went down that year and probably proved, for anyone who hadn't realised in the preceding seasons, just how good Leighton was for us.
