    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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).

    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?

    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
    Let's hope he hits the ground running if called upon.

    Doesn’t seem to hold onto anything...

    Thought he could have caught quite a few of them.

    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
