I don't think we will see Bayindir in goal again any time soon.
I'm hoping we start to see RA first choice 11 week in/ out in the not too distant future.

I feel for the likes of Bayindir and Foster. Selected for one game every blue moon and don't get a chance to build up any momentum. Some goalies are just so sluggish with the ball at their feet, can't do that any more.

What momentum, they are keepers not juggernauts :P.

Its so important to have a good number 2. Not only to be able to slot in when called upon seamlessly, but also provide competition to your number 1 that improves them. Look at Kelleher at Liverpool and Ortega at City.
Unfortunately, Bayindir is so far off ever competing for number 1, it probably gives Onana an easy ride. He is a championship keeper at best, and even then I think he would struggle with the physicality.
I know its not as urgent as some areas that need addressing in the squad. But I would look to replace Bayindir in January and Onana in the summer. We need to stabilise the position to move forward, we can't keep having the Goalkeepers cost us games.

Spenno,
That's why I can't see him being in goal again. It is too much of a gamble to try and get a keeper match sharp.
He may need a few reserves games aswell.

As much as I don't rate Onana, sometimes the best players aren't always on the bench.

I miss the days when we had Romero as backup. But then again I miss the days of VDS in goal too. Best keeper I've ever seen.

Remember DDG was pants to start with as was/ is Onana. Keepers do need a bit of time same as all players. The difference is you can make an error as a player and get away with it, you cannot as a keeper.
I do feel for Bayindir as well.

Kurtis, Kelleher takes 2-3 games to warm up usually ask any Liverpool fan.

bayandir made one mistake by not pushing the ball out on the first goal and happens and many golie's do that and it was not like he had a mare the rest of the game. The 4th goal is foul man and can't blame him for that.
I think we will see him play again. like all players they need some game time to get into the flow of things. he has hardly played.
