Agree someone else needs to come in though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 He’s been brilliant in recent weeks but needs replacing or being a number 2 because of a 7/10 performance? You lot are radge sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 If Howe is as pragmatic as I believe he is then this lad will be gone in the summer, he’s served us well over the years and has been great value for money but it’s time for a new number 1 I think.

jack j Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Henderson is overrated to fuck. Rather keep dubravka as number 1 than him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 First mistake in awhile and he gets shit on as if he's a shit goalkeeper. Hate this tendency with Newcastle fans for the need to have to attack one player at all times. He still makes up for those mistakes and was nowhere near as bad as people are saying.

Rod Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 He was pretty poor yesterday and at fault for their goal. Look, we lavish praise on him when he has a good game so there is nothing wrong or negative in pointing out he was gash yesterday. Do you just want us to say "he was great" all the time? In my opinion I think he has been poor to average since he came back from injury. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Dubravka is fine. Clearly if we want to actually win things and be regularly in the CL, then he needs replacing. But he'll be fine next year for the level we'll be aiming at. There's far more pressing concerns, IMO. Though if the opportunity comes to sign someone amazing, of course we should. Though that goes for any position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Poor for the goal on Saturday, but overall he's been decent in recent weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I'm very rarely impressed by him, his modes are decent or bad. This week was bad. As a slight disclaimer, Duffy and Dunk are a massive threat so he might have been rattled. And we had very little possession, so more pressure again. I personally hope he's backup by the start of next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRaspberryJam Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Not a pressing concern at the moment but I'd be happy to see him replaced in the summer. Not sure what was going through his mind for Dunk's header that was drifting harmlessly wide that he fumbled out for a corner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 He has never been great at coming for contested crosses, it is one of his known weaknesses. He is playing a lot better than any other keeper on our books can and is good enough for a mid table team. We have other places which need to be filled first in the summer, although him as back up to a great keeper would be fantastic... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Needs to be replaced imo. Not a top 8 GK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) There’s a good chance we’ll drop more money on one goalkeeper this summer than we have on every goalkeeper we’ve bought in our history combined. That probably won’t take much given our biggest outlays are about £4m on him, £2m-ish on Shaka, Darlow & Given each, £850k on Beasant.

That'd still mean a £18m+ GK would do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 He's a great keeper, won't hang around though to be a number 2 and that's fair enough! He could quite easily leave for a decent club abroad, probably Germany. We've been extremely lucky in the last 20 years with our 1st choice Keepers, they've all been above average and throughouly decent people as well. Given, Harper, Krul and Dubravka, that's not a bad bunch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thiago Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 I still like the lad. I decided to watch the goal back. I think it's easy to blame Dubravka but I think his focus is split between the ball coming in and Trossard jostling with Murphy right in front of him. That's what allows Dunk to nip ahead. That's also where I think Wood has to take responsibility for losing him so easily. You can't always win the header but you can make it difficult for your marker and he just didn't.

Guest HTT II Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 I’d be up for the club making any big upgrade on any player really if we can, but he’s the least of our worries and I’d be happy if he was still our number 1 going into next season. We need to ditch the other ‘keepers though, they scare the shit out of me when they feature. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
