Mark Travers

Removing the green tinted specs for a moment, do people believe that Travers would keep his place as No.1 if Bournemouth gain promotion this year?

At the start of the season I thought no, but as the season as gone on he's changed my mind. All the talk before the season started was the quality they had in the squad to gain promotion and Travers would have been at the bottom of that list more than likely.

But as the season has went on he's been Mr Consistent for them and has pulled big saves out the bag to secure 3pts in a few games now. Most recently at the weekend when Barnsley could have been 2-1 up just after half time, even though Bournemouth dominated the half they could only manage one shot on target.

If Bournemouth get promoted goalkeeper won't be anywhere near the first thing they'd need to worry about strengthen. Could honestly see them being worse than Norwich.

if he's doing a good job then why would Parker drop him? They risk damaging Travers' value and confidence for what reward? 

Woodman has signed on loan for Bournemouth.

When did Nyland get injured? He was signed August 17th and went straight into the match day squads. Even started the third league game he was there for because Travers was injured and then dropped straight back to the bench.

Nyland has been available for every league game bar three and the first two came after he had been sitting on the bench for 12/13 games since he joined.

Pretty sure Nyland was only ever signed as cover for Travers, basically to give them an experienced option if things went wrong with Travers.

I see a point made here as to why Newcastle would send him out to be second choice. Well, there's a reason he's only getting a loan on the last day of the transfer window, I'm sure.

An interesting stat in its own, Travers has the most clean sheets in top 4 flights of English football this season so far. and in second is Bazunu with 11! He doesn't, that Irish Propaganda page was living up to its name. Luke McGee the Forest Green keeper has 13, and both Ederson and Liam Roberts whose the Northampton town keeper have 12. There's four keepers that have 11 clean sheets each.
