Fur fuxsake get a grip he left us went to Wigan sat on the bench for 3 months and was freed and he is that good he still hasn’t got a club !!!!

He has got a club and has played 39 games of football this season.

I don’t want McGregor back but holy fuck is that even a real question. Foderingham makes McGregor look like Buffon.

A cardboard cut out of McGregor would be an improvement on Foderingham

He is! Yet the media were spinning it that he was devastated that the move to the scum fell through. 

Because he was. He was all set to join them.

Know this for a fact.

No. 

FOD has improved every season with us. We can't ask anything else. Is he the same as Shagger at the same age? No. Will he become a better keeper overall? Evidence suggests yes. 

But we are unfortunately living in times where logic ie. tie down ... goes for nothing.

Evidence doesn’t suggest yes  his level is lower championship.

Think the reaction to foderingham is way over the top. Granted he’s not ideally what we need but there are other areas of the pitch that need improved before there. Happy to go along with him for now and McGregor can get to Fuck. Can’t believe it’s even a question. He’s a rat like the rest

Wes is a liability as a "goalkeeper", likeable guy but just fucking awful.

[siddiqi_drinker 14,635]

Too many of our fans stuck looking in their rear-view mirrors, fuk sake the past is exactly that, move on.  As others have said Wes needs competition and I don't personally see Alnwick having the skills to push him.

The skills to push Wes?  Like staying on your line when you have to and watching the ball?  Aye, that's a tough one.

Don't take the sentence out of context, Alnwick is no better than Wes, in fact I think he is a worse option.

Don't take mine out of context, what skills does a guy need to push wes?

He's made tons of great saves this season that I do not believe Alnwick to be capable of

he's let in more stupid goals than I've missed in life, the guy just doesn't do it for me, no offence, it's all about opinions.

McGregor was no stranger to making the odd howler.

He certainly wasn't. 

[Laudrupsleftfoot 10,869]

McGregor 10 years ago was by far the better goalkeeper, and if not for the clamour for 6 foot 3 or taller goalkeepers he probably would have played for a much bigger club  in England than Hull.

Foderingham won't be better than McGregor was at his peak, but he's a better option now.

You'd have to spend a few million to get someone better than Foderingham surely.

He's a good shot stopper wes. But his positioning is awful. He can't control the box, distribution from goal kicks isn't great and he's suspect from long range. These are faults that he hasn't fixed in his time here IMO. 

I'm not thrilled with McGregor coming back. But he's a much better keeper than wes.

IMO no. Wes weakness is the long range shots. His positioning is awful for them. McCgregor was exactly the same and he's not the same goalkeeper as he was. He peaked with us before he left.

I'd just play Alnwick until the end of the season and see what's what in the summer.

I used to moan like stink when AM got beaten over his head from distance.

I don’t imagine he’s grown much.

[DeanMK 4,670]

Haven’t kept up with his career whatsoever but I reckon it wouldn’t be hard for him to be better than Wes. I think Foderingham is utterly bang average. He costs us a lot of goals with his terrible positioning.

Also made maybe the best save I've ever seen.

[TheHammer_WATP 332]

Is he better? Aye.

Should we take him back? Fuck no. 

He made his bed with our support, he can fucking lie in it. Could’ve been a club legend after that UEFA Cup run, now he’s just a guy who tainted our club due to greed.

Would rather we went for that Hearts keeper tbh. 

[ZZed 4,510]

A standard lamp would be better than Foderingham but McGregor is not the answer as he is not the standard he was and he would split the support.
