    A change in goal has been long overdue. Speaks volumes that we were pursuing a League One
    keeper valued at circa £300k to replace Davies. We really need to increase our efforts to sign a proven
    quality keeper in the future.

    It isn’t brave in opinion. It would be braver to keep Davies in. He has been costing us goals all season and any other player doing that is dropped.

    Nick Townsend played in an awful side before where Mawson and Hourihane ect also looked poor.

    I don’t know how good he is as it’s hard to judge him on his spell before.

    When I’ve seen him more recently he’s done well.

    Good luck, Nick.

    Definitely. Although he did look alright against Fulham and at least put a good effort in. He seemed less lost than usual. A proper winger on the wing would've been nice though.

    You have to take into account that mahoney has barely played and has only had 2 days training

    We can't judge him on first team games from years ago so let's give him a chance. Think he will grab it with both hands, pardon the pun. He's been so patient waiting for his chance and he will be eager to play the big derby next week.

    Townsend is absolutely terrible, very confusing call.
    Both our Keepers are terrible.
    Should've put the one we signed from Nuneaton in.

    I think it would have happened sooner if we had a better option. The failure to get a keeper in has obviously forced Heckys hand. He probably didn't want to drop Davies put Townsend in then change keeper again if we got one in.

    I totally get the call. Not suggesting he's a better keeper, but Davo's been miles off, with no signs of improvement. Hecky also has to think about managing the No. 2. I don't think it's good for anybody, saying 'you'll only get dropped/get a game if you're injured'. Doesn't apply to anyone else.

    Not a big fan of Townsend from what I've seen but good luck to the lad .( he might need it )..i hope he has a quiet day and wish him well
    that said in the recent u23 cup game he had bugger all to do most of the game and in my opinion went missing when he was needed

    You reds

    Davies had to come out. He is almost certainty a better keeper than Townsend but not at the moment. At the moment he is totally devoid of confidence and costing is goals. Real shame we couldn't get a keeper in.

    Davies has been pap for a while.. but I've absolutely no faith in Townsend.
    Obviously Eastwood wasn't "one of many we're looking at" It was him or nowt..

    Be more than happy to be proved wrong tho re Townsend... but we're too close to the bottom 3 to be experimenting..
