New Signing!

ive never warmed to fab, i think im still living the dream of big pete, he was such a big player and i do feel sorry for him in a way, i cant be easy for a keeper to try and fill the void left by the big man, i mean bos why we ever got him is beyond me, i think it was edwards trying to save his pocket money, and the italian well lets not speak the name! for the reason i cant spell it lol, i liked raymond but he was getting on a bit, and roy carrol looks ok, but its the old lower league club thing, the same with luke steel anouther great prospect from pompy, i still think we should have gone for buffon but £30mill for a keeper hmmm might be a bit much, then theres the one player who i would like to see between our sticks, and thats the kid from real madrid. We need a keeper who the defence can trust, and i dont think its fabian sadly. I know you have already read my views on fabian, so i apologise.....

OK, fair point. Lets compare their records using the worst six home attacks faced by Fab. He let in 8 in those games... Even if you compare them against the worst six teams in total - they split those games half and half - Fab let in 4 goals in his three compared to Carroll’s 1.

It doesn’t matter how you want to stack it up, Carroll outperforms Fab statistically. More importantly he kept more clean sheets away from home, and was in the net for all three of our 1-0 away wins. Compare that to Fab’s performance against the eighteenth rated home attack... a certain Derby County, a match which all but ended our championship challenge.

As for not playing week in week out, I'd say that makes your job harder, especially with an unsettled defence in front of you (I think we fit that bill last year).

His statitics were far better the first year. His autumn was a nightmare last year, by far his worst statistics of his whole career. He had personal problems, he wasn't well in his head .BTW he was better from December to June. Didn't concede many goals in Europe (his La Curuna first round game excepted). Carroll has never been bombarded like Fab was in certain games.

Anyway I hear that Fab could make an unexpected shocking return...Ha HA HA. He will come back with a vengeance.
