Well we played two seasons without an actual goalkeeper so I don't see the harm in it.

Which two are those? Because Walton, Steele and Pears all fit that description.

The two most recent I was referring to.

It seems a running theme with venky fc to have a shit goalkeeper.

In fairness, his regular howlers and general incompetence at goalkeeping probably played a part.

Just his error in the Sheffield Weds home game alone; you wouldn't expect a non-league GK to do that.

I like to believe that VI came in, assessed what he saw and quickly came to the realisation that he had to get the waste of space out of the building as quickly as possible.
An England Youth GK is not a bad number 2, on balance.

Hes an 18 year old who in his first senior game made an error as bad as youll see leading to a goal 4 minutes in, 2 minutes after letting a shot go under him. He also got fortunate again spilling a simple shot back into danger.

Pears is poor but you have lost all sense of balance with him. He is still an actual senior goalkeeper who is a far safer bet than Michalski. He is very much a bad number 2 keeper, as he is today, at this level.

When it comes to shot stopping and quick reaction saves Pears is pretty good. That's his strength. 

Where he's really really poor is decision making, positioning and ability to read things as they unfold.

Last season our defence was rock solid and took a lot of the decision making away from him so that all ge really had to do was make the odd save, which he did well. When the defence started to pick up injuries he was left mith more to do and it all turned to custard. 

Personally, after that Sheffield Wednesday game I was completely done with him. He nearly got the club relegated single handedly with his sheer incompetence.

Very harsh on Michalski. First game and was nervous. 

Pears isnt even 3rd choice and would I suggest it has nothing wages but the possible actions his over the summer

 

You wanted rid of Pears for ages now you want him to stay as number 2 to Toth
