Dropped today in favour of Rochdale’s 19 year old (ie younger than travers)keeper - who played well despite the embarrassing defeat vs Luxembourg
Think they mentioned it was Luxembourg’s first away win for 12.5 years.

So very nearly got caught out by a lob further out than the one that beat Travers on WednesdayDropped today in favour of Rochdale’s 19 year old (ie younger than travers)keeper - who played well despite the embarrassing defeat vs Luxembourg
Technically Man City’s 19 year old keeper who is on loan at Rochdale.
He dropped mark because of the 2nd goal v Serbia (calling a spade a spade)Would have liked kenny to do well but he is out of his league I'm afraid. Leaving to many experienced players out was a big mistake.as for Mark he will learn and come back stronger and he had being doing really well at Swindon.Man City/Rochdale keeper Gavin Bazunu has been playing regularly for Rochdale this season and that’s the reason Kenny (Irish manager) gave for starting him over travers.
I can see the logic but:
A) Rochdale are bottom of the league
B) it’s not the keeper position Ireland need to address......
There are a few decent young keepers in the Irish squad to be fair. Darren “it’s happening again” Randolph aside, there’s a lot of promise in the ranks at keeper position.

I rate mark highly myself and he was doing very well at Swindon before being recalled.can see him.being in goal for us next season if we don't go up.bazuna done ok to be fair but he hasn't pulled up any trees at Rochdale. Kenny had Kelleher at 21s so never saw him playing markyeah but I didn't want to admit that!!!! I like mark too much! hence my particular phrase of "that's the reason kenny gave"
Can’t see us managing to offload Begovic unfortunately in his wages so imagine he’ll be in goal again.I rate mark highly myself and he was doing very well at Swindon before being recalled.can see him.being in goal for us next season if we don't go up.bazuna done ok to be fair but he hasn't pulled up any trees at Rochdale.

Think bego playing that well that wages won’t be an issue for someone. Most saves in championship last i looked!!Can’t see us managing to offload Begovic unfortunately in his wages so imagine he’ll be in goal again.
I think the Woodman deal is just on hold, not fallen through
Saw speculation that Parker maybe set to let Travers prove himself as no 1 as the Freddie Woodman loan fell through.
What’s people’s thoughts on this? Surely we can’t leave it where our two senior keepers are Dennis and Travers but equally who will sign knowing they will be back up to a young keeper like Travers?
I think I’d rather a Woodman style loan, send Travers out on loan like last season with a recall option and let Dennis deputise.
Travers was set to prove himself last season.
May I be the first to blame Neil Moss ?We are very light on keepers, regardless of whether Travers is good enough for the No 1 spot we need some more experience on the books.
