Just because it's tradition does not make it right

I’d have had Kelleher playing anyways if he was fit. Has shown all merciful promise and suits the way Kenny wants to play to a tee. When you want to pass it out from the back having a keeper that can do as much to a high standard adds a new dimension.
Even take Liverpool look how much more confidence they had with Kelleher behind them as opposed to Adrian due to Adrians lack of ability with his feet.
Randolphs a better keeper than Adrian but was questionable to be polite to him in this department cost us a goal and was nearly caught out plenty other times too.
I like Randolph has been a great servant and will continue to be. For the Serbia game where it might be backs to the wall you could argue he might be the better option. Against Luxembourg who I’d expect us to dominate the ball against you might see this benefit with Kelleher. Edited by kevin100 - 11 Mar 2021 at 9:58pm |

Hope Kelleher is fit. I don't think Bazunu is anywhere near ready for a game of this magnitude and, as another poster alluded to, Travers doesn't inspire much confidence in me. Seems the polar opposite to Kelleher in terms of body language.

He was thrown into Europa League games at Rovers when he was 16 an performed brilliantly. I'd have no worries if he played

Bazuna was saving penalties in the top flight of the Irish League and lining out in thw Europa League at the age of 16 while the rest of yous were probably pulling your plums.
Wouldn't be ideal if he ends up having to start, but I'd.be far more worried about certain other personnel who may end up in the starting 11.

Really? Like who? Goalkeeper is the bedrock of any team. I’m not saying he should be a non runner but it’s certainly not an ideal time to give a 19 year old lad with 30 or so senior apps his debut

Of course its not but the point were making here is he's arguable more experienced than Travers. He's certainly played more senior games than Travers. He also playing week in, week out. It's not ideal if we had to rely on either, but I think Baz has the temperament to deal with it if required.

Both of course have played more senior games than Kelleher, but I think most would still start Kelleher if fit.
I'd probably go Kelleher, Travers, Bazunu in that order at the moment. Longer term I wouldn't be at all surprised if Bazunu ends up winning the most caps of the three mind you.

They are 3 really good prospects. Even with their relative inexperience the goalkeeping position if they get luck with injuries etc is not a spot we have to worry about. I wouldn’t be having panic attacks if any of the 3 were thrown in for Serbia honestly they’d lack experience yes never ideal but they have more then enough ability.
I wouldn’t be shocked if we end up in a spot where our 2 best players are goalkeepers in 5/6 years time. Kelleher and Bazunu look as good a prospects as we have at the moment.
Both tailor made for the modern game too. I can see both going very far.

Agreed. Out of all our younger players those two probably have the most potential. Straight out of the Coleman/Doherty frying pan and into the Kelleher/Bazunu fire.

with Randolph out and a very inexperienced keeper he definitely needs to put out his most experienced back 4 Coleman Clark and Stevens have to start for me.
There is a huge Question to who is the other centre back on form it should be o Shea But there is a a school of taught on Duffy he is out of form and doesn’t suit Kenny’s style of play( to be fair we don’t have any centre back overly suited to it) But away to Serbia we will be under the pump at times and this suits Duffy down to the ground and let’s not forget he is probably our biggest goal threat. Might not be ideal but might be a horses for courses situation |

I would say we need to play our most experienced back 10 in order to get something out of these games

We could play a back 5 tbf. Duffy and O'Shea in there if needs be. Or coleman has right centre back and doherty rwb.

"In Mick McCarthy's final game against Denmark, Randolph was also
troubled in this area. There was a view that Ireland were going less
direct in that fixture and playing the ball out from the back a little
bit more but Randolph's health was a factor in that too."

This is the first competitive game Darren has missed since he replaced Given at half time in the infamous 1-0 win over Germany in October 2015. (39 games)

That is some run. He solved our keeper crisis and ensured it didn't reemerge until now.
