    Did he not sign a 3 year extension in January on the back of the chelsea 'interest' ?
    * will still be our number one next season at least.

    Sooner he * off/takes a step back the better. I'm actually convinced he is one of the biggest issues in our squad, his lack of command and taking responsibility at the back doesn't help the defence, in turn that makes our captain drop far too deep to cover in there and take some leadership. We really need a keeper who can take some control of that backline.


    Not even going to repeat his actual ability flaws any more, just pathetic how poor he actually is.

    Far more eloquently put with the actual figures than me but I’ve been banging this drum for years. He’s a handicap, has been for numerous seasons. The goals conceded at the start of games is absolutely damning.

    He is the critical position to strengthen, even more so than striker and right back which folk kinda default to. With a quality goalkeeper our chances in Europe, particularly away, increase massively.

    Two mins into the Hun game and already McGregor has miscued a clearance - skewing the ball along the deck centrally (whilst under no pressure whatsoever). He did it twice in his previous game too.

    CG would have been slaughtered for this and his whole game declared a disaster just because of it. But McG... ???
    Best keeper in the League... apparently! :87:

    Load o' pish! McG is a * liability. The * should have had a handful of Red cards this season, but seems he's become a protected species!!!

    CG > McG

    Eh, no. McGregor keeps the Huns in games. Gordon doesn’t keep us in anything except a perpetual spiral of depression.

    Thats exactly the point. He cant save a * shot.

    Have u actually seen his stats.

    His ineptitude is hidden behind the stats of our defence, when hes actually... actually tested he conceeds.

    Hes pure pish

    Would rather he improved at the basics. I’d be worried now he might try that again and cost us a goal in a tighter game

    I really wish he'd stop giving the ball to a defender under pressure, really does my nut in. :31:

    I know what you’re saying but tbh, if he * wellied it there the guy pressuring is that close it’s probable he’s getting something on it. Gee’s me the fear but it was the right thing and it was * class :56:

    Aye same.

    Some of his remaining admirers will claim this as proof he has the ability to play with the ball, he doesn't.

    It was a superb move of course, think that'll get shown around the world.

    But by *, you just know that will go to his head and it will go against us at some point.
