Yes and wouldn't we be looking at the best option available. What if Travers gets injured

Of course but not one that’s allegedly going to walk straight in the team. How’s that going to do for Travers confidence and long term development? He’s literally saved our backside week after week, including yesterday.
We need back up, no one is arguing with the fact we need another keeper
Of course its common sense and any player being brought in has to be good enough to play at Championship level, therefore has to be good enough to challenge Travers.
Allegedly, that all important word that gets bandied about quite a lot !!

Just can’t see a keeper of Woodmans stature coming here to sit on the bench.
Probably not. Will be an interesting one if it happens. Would upset a few on here but I must admit I have an open mind on it. I still think strong competition for places is good.

no way he will walk straight into the team, hopefully he’ll push Travs on to even better things
He is coming in on loan and lets see what happens. 3 weeks ago he was coming in as number 1 would be very hard to see that now.

He could walk straight into the team.
In goal for cup game next weekend?

I think he means 3 months ago
Exactly, adds a bit of experience to the set up as well. Travers has been excellent of course but there is always room for improvement, a bit of game management (time wasting) at Luton rather than rushing to take a goal kick right at the end. The Coventry equaliser that went in at the near post. There is always stuff to learn from and those examples are not to be seen as slagging him off. As I say he has been great behind a pretty tight defence, keep him on his toes.
Newcastle, see the date of the thread I posted Travers or woodman

I don't doubt Woodman is a very good keeper, and that bringing him in when Nyland is injured makes our GK dept stronger than having Dennis on the bench. I loved the idea of Woodman in the summer before we saw Travers' development.
I worry it is a frivolous use of resources though. If we had cash to burn then by all means. If resources are limited, and hypothetically its a choice between: adding Woodman, Dembele and doing without a centre forward...Or forgoing Woodman and Dembele and having more room to fix midfield and add a centre forward, I'd choose the latter.
If we can and do afford all 4 signings then sure, Max make it rain...One thing is for sure though, the other Championship clubs wouldn’t be happy!

So what is everyone advocating we sign a sh!te keeper who can't challenge Travers?
So by that argument we get a keeper in who is not that good in case he pushes Travers. Then if Travers does pick up an injury we all sit here saying we needed a better back up keeper.
