I would have preferred to have Dawson as our number one next season. However, it had been reported that the club is looking for a new goalkeeper. Accepting that fact, I do prefer an older goalkeeper as it means, that Dawson might be able to take over soon. Signing somebody younger would have destroyed any hope, that we could keep Dawson. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmowl Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Turning 37 - no problem. Played all 46 games for Wycombe last season. Absolute no brainier. Good, steady experienced keeper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorrallOwl17 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Good signing. An experienced keeper who played every minute of the season for a team who lost in the play off final, and a keeper who won promotion from league 2. Age is just a number for a keeper let’s be right. A lot of top keeper play into their late 30’s. He’ll be a good figure to have around the place im sure, hence why Ainsworth wanted to keep him on. But moving back up north will be an appeal to him at his age 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRightSide Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I would feel much more confident of Stockdale and Dawson than Dawson and Wildsmith This is a good signing IMO 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t like young keepers.I like a big experienced lump in the net. Agreed, Bywater was that character and I don’t believe Stockdale will make same mistakes BPF did last season. Solid, dependable signing should it get done. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnishOwl Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Welcome to Hillsborough, David Stockdale. Would be a perfect match to replace BPF as the number one keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonLeon Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Can’t remember him being particularly sparkling with his feet which is a huge concern seeing as our keeper has more touches than our strikers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moyaowl Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Seen a few comments saying we should be signing a younger keeper - all well and good but they won't get the time to develop their game and make mistakes to learn from - this happened with Dawson and Wildsmith and currently any young keeper making mistakes whilst "learning their trade" would soon get hammered by the fans. I see this as a good piece of business if it goes through, good experienced head, knows the league but has played higher. Got a good record from last season and can share his knowledge of the game with the younger keepers that we may actually be able to develop and could have really high potential.

0114 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Why do people keep mentioning Bywater as a comparison to Stockdale like he was old when he signed for us? He was 30 during the 11/12 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On what planet do the club think he’s good enough if wycombe don’t want him anymore. Unless he’s come into play second fiddle to Dawson. You don’t think a keeper that got to playoff final with Wycombe is good enough to get promoted this time around with our squad over Wycombes I’d be more asking what planet you on on for the record he’s been offered a contract by Wycombe so I’m just guessing at here and don’t hold me to it it might be a crazy assumption from me but here goes Wycombe may still want him we need a senior keeper I also think Dawson might be the one preferred as number one I hope he is controversial I know and I think there’s quite a section of our fan base that has written Dawson off but I think he will be good in league abs if even day he won’t do half as many bloopers as BFP did promotion is the aim this deal is perfect for us keeps more of what we might spend on other positions free and we can upgrade the position again next year if Dawson doesn’t own it we will probably be offering a 1 year with an option to extend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
