Sorry, I don’t agree, he has been good at this level for the last 2 seasons. Of course he makes some mistakes but have you seen some of the howlers made at Premiership and Championship level? He is one of our most consistent performers.

Statistically De Gea is the best keeper in the Premier League - doesn’t make it true.

If a keeper faces 10 pea rollers and saves them all, it looks better on the stats than a keeper that makes 9 world class saves but lets one in. The only real way to assess is with your own eyes, and Farman is decent without being brilliant.

Whatever people on here think of Farman (personally, a good L2 keeper) PW clearly sees him as our No.1 and we won't be taking up wage budget with another keeper (and seeing Farman sat on the bench).

Fair point.

I actually like Farman, just saying what the stats say, seeing as football is all fancy and data driven now. xG and all that carry on.

Yeah pat brough was awful wasnt he

Said it for a long time, never rated Farman. He causes alot of issues with his unwillingness to command his area, or actually come for a cross

We are league 2 so what are you wanting. Always going to want more but if he was impeccable he would be Prem/Championship. Top keeper in league 2 if you ask me and a lot of others. Everyone loved Joel Dixon but he stepped up and didn’t cut the mustard. Stop moaning and get behind the players

If I remember rightly, Andy Cook was alright for us.
Popular side since '03.

Ben Barclay anyone.Now that he has left Stockport County could we pinch him from under the noses of Carlisle Utd?Now that would really upset them.

I was very critical of Dixon and got stick for it.
Think he is at the right level now.
Farman worried me when he first played but this last season has improved but so has our defensive players.Will be interesting to see how we get on without Mclleand who was wise beyond his years in playing terms.
