Any murmurings on a new keeper, or do you reckon summer?
Gordon has done well with shots recently, but the distribution still gives me the fear.
At the moment there seems to be no credible push from any of his understudies to take the no. 1 spot.
Do you reckon we are developing a young keeper as the replacement?

How many 'good' keepers have we every produced? I couldn't think of any!

We had shay given on our books and let him go, not sure if that's what you mean but just one that's not been mentioned.

I was meaning youth development into first team.
I’d forgot about david marshal - cracking game against Barcelona years ago.

I liked Stuart Kerr but he had to leave to play more football, it's a shame he had to retire so early.

Boruc was only a year into his international careee when he signed for us but I firmly believe he got better under Stevie woods.

As for developing young players, keeper is one that rarely sees someone from the academy make the grade and step up and we always have someone with more experience as number 1! To be fair in the last 10/ 20 years very few players have made the step up from the youths to first team. KT, Forrest McGeady and Maloney are the only ones I can think of.

Stuart Kerr was decent too. For me though keeper is one of always rather see a quality experienced player fill.

Fraser Forster isn't a bad one either.
