Christ, between him Jack, Pickford, KD-H, Ndiaye, Branthwaite, JOB…I’ve no idea where to bestow my love. Things were so much simpler when we were shite, Seamus for the metaphysical stuff and Richie for the purely physical with Dom as a reserve. Life’s getting too feckin’ complicated.

Cannot possibly be in Moyes plans(?)
Are we lumbered with him?

You need a squad though, think we're so used to 8 keepers on the bench that we don't know how to deal with decent players not getting on the pitch.
He's a relatively cheap signing, and looks like he might be a half decent player so don't think we need to worry too much about him tbh

Is there an obligation based on appearances?

Not been mentioned ever. Just a standard buy with obligation providing we don't get relegated.

I guess in most games it's worked so far so he won't change it but like his starting 11 Moyes subs are pretty rigid and predictable. We must have one of the least used squads in the PL.

Can see us just selling him in the summer once he’s confirmed as ours. Shame as I was looking forward to seeing him play when we signed him. Was crying out for him or Tim to come on on Sunday

i said the same to my mate who i watched the game with.
I know it's easy with hindsight, but i would have liked to have seen Rohl replace McNeil

Moyes tends to rely on a small core of players.
Genuinely don't think we sell him, I just think Moyes isn't one to rush through players. I'd be more worried if we don't see much of him next season.
I'm more concerned about Tim's situation, I think there is a player there too but his contract is running down and he's going to need playing time either to convince him to stick around (plus I think he deserves more based on previous performances this season) or to put in the shop window if we're not able to sort a contract.

I'm hoping with Gana leaving (presumably) at the end of the season that Tim is his replacement.
