Bringing in a keeper is the right thing to do 12:21 - Feb 3 with 4854 views | textbackup | But we have a situation now where Muric knows he’s probably done here, Slicker thinking he doesn’t have a hope, and Walton still neither the number 1 or number 2. Can’t help but think this could have been dealt with far better. |  |

Bringing in a keeper is the right thing to do on 12:54 - Feb 3 by Illinoisblue | Muric needs to be done. And our contract with goalkeeper.com needs to be terminated. Their “head of data science” never worked in pro football. But did work at Tesco. Next fans forum some serious questions need to be asked. |
It hasn't worked out. At the end of the day, Ashton is a former goalkeeper, so his judgement should be good and not purely reliant on a data company. Everyone knew that despite some of Muric's attributes, he had struggled for confidence in a relegation fight the previous season. |  |

Definitely some questions worthy of being asked. Unfortunately the questions that actually get asked will be along the lines of "So, Kieran, what's your ideal Sunday?". |  |

Bringing in a keeper is the right thing to do on 12:28 - Feb 3 by Mookamoo | Slicker must know, and realise, he needs some experience before he gets thrown in at the deep end. Walton will know he will always have a fight on his hands to get into the team - any PL or Championship team will have 2 keepers in competition. Even if Muric is done, all 3 must know with Walton out, we need to bring someone in. |
Zactly. |  |

Incorrect. 'Everyone' knew that when he came into the Burnley team at the end of the season he played well, and many of their fans thought he could have kept them up if he'd been selected earlier. But apart from that... |  |

Muric's mistakes costs them at least 2 games in that run-in that he played in. All keepers makes mistakes, so maybe he is unlucky that his just appear so critical |  | |  |

Generally, when a keeper makes a mistake - it costs a goal. [stating the bleeding obvious I know!] [Post edited 3 Feb 13:22]

Bringing in a keeper is the right thing to do on 12:34 - Feb 3 by homer_123 | Certainly Muric hasn't worked out, for sure. Walton's injury has made it a lot worse. If he wasn't injured, we'd be staying with the three for the season. |
At least CW’s injury happened just before the window shut rather than just after! |  |

Still time for one of our 2 strikers to get crocked for the remainder of the season tho! |  |

I'd have to agree to differ on that one. I've been a supporter of his, and wanted it to work out. But it seems untenable now. |  |

Some keepers get away with mistakes is what I meant. His appear to have been terminal each time |  | |  |

Yup, we've been punished each time for sure. |  |

Bringing in a keeper is the right thing to do on 13:29 - Feb 3 with 734 views | TheBoyBlue | It's such a tough position, for the player themselves and management. Usually they're either in or not, unlike outfield positions where player can be gradually introduced and stake a claim by being brought on as a sub and if you're dropped you can still get chances off the bench. As the dad of a goalkeeper I have sympathy for Muric. It can feel such a lonely position when things aren't going well. |  |

Bringing in a keeper is the right thing to do on 13:32 - Feb 3 with 709 views | Chris_ITFC | Palmer costs a lot more than £2m given the impact it has on Muric’s value / sell-on potential to drop him down the pecking order like that. Could result in £100m if he keeps us up though! |  | |  |
Bringing in a keeper is the right thing to do on 13:35 - Feb 3 with 690 views | gsoly | We put Slicker in net in the Prem, he plays badly, it's disastrous for his development and reputation. Hugely high risk. Glad we're not even contemplating it. |  | |  |

I’ll do my best Columbo impression. “Just one more thing, Mr Ashton. It says here you paid 10 million pounds for an error-prone keeper. All on the advice of a guy whose only professional experience is working at Tesco.” |  |

And bring in someone as well as Palmer? Not beyond the realms of possibility we shift Slicker and Muric on loan and get another couple in. |  | |  |
Bringing in a keeper is the right thing to do on 14:11 - Feb 3 with 598 views | Blooos | Muric should be done here, blokes stealing a living.

That's dumb though because Muric was trying to fulfil the manager's instructions in those moments. You should be calling out McKenna instead. And perhaps McKenna will find a club whose fans are more willing to accommodate his tactics. |  | |  |

Explains why McKenna has now decided to buy another keeper.. Highly doubt he was telling Muric to stand on the ball for 10-15 seconds every time for no reason, when drawing. |  | |  |
