We could always get a shop dummy tie it on rope in the middle of the goal and swing it back and forth, at intervals through the game!! Better than Westwood surely? |  |

Was Archer originally meant to be out for the rest of the season when he banjaxed himself saving that penalty? Is he locked in a cupboard with the mythical Dillon Barnes?
I know we're QPR, but FIVE unavailable senior goalkeepers on the payroll, four crocked at once and one seemingly a figment of Les' imagination is some going even for us. |
I know I’ve said it before but thought Barnes was ok for Hibs in his 4 (?) games.
Not great but definitely ok, suppose we’re at the stage of is Westwood ready to go straight away and to a higher standard than Barnes?
Are we allowed an emergency loan and he’s on the bench or is this a definite starting player due to the circumstances?
I know we’re not really caring whether Barnes makes it or not since he’s 4/5th choice but it must be a crap situation to be in for him as well |  | | |

Agree Karl. Like I say, the whole thing is a baffler. A crazy run of bad luck for us (if I was Westwood I'd be VERY careful crossing the road betwen now and the end of the season). But also some really weird decision-making going on behind the scenes, and I say that as someone who's pretty much a happy clapper when it comes to Les. [Post edited 18 Mar 2022 14:19]

I've said from the start that Barnes signing doesn't pass my smell test, and if he can't even play this weekend then seriously what on earth is the point of him? |  | | |

Looks like Barnes has played for 2 clubs in the National League this season, Yeovil and Aldershot. Not sure if that means he can't play for us at 1st team level this season?? |  |

Also there was the Matt Ingram thing and the Birmingham keeper dislocating his shoulder in the wind. There’s some kind of hoodoo going on! |  |

won't he need to be registered in the 25 man squad to be able to play, I'm guessing he can't be |  | | |

Tried looking on the EFL website, and says "In accordance with FIFA Regulations a Player may be registered with a maximum of three clubs during one season. During this period, the player is only eligible to play in official matches for two clubs............Clubs are advised that domestically the above applies to all registrations except Non-League, Short Term and Youth Loans,................. More detailed guidance is published on the Club Portal on a season by season basis — please refer to the Player Administration Section of the service"
So if the National League is counted as non-league, Barnes would be able to play. But it doesn't make it clear whether it is or not. | |

The sheer confusion probably makes as good an explanation for Barnes' absence as anything.
Given our previous with the FA, you'd imagine people at the club are on particularly strict instructions from Hoos not to risk anything that might lead to Ruben getting a fine or us 6 points chalked off at the end of the season... [Post edited 18 Mar 2022 14:48]

We've four first team keepers injured at the same time, including one who was brought in as cover. That's got to be some sort of record. |  | | |

How about Gavin Ward. He's ours, his kicking looks ok in the warm ups and he's only 52. John Burridge was older and still playing...I think. |  | | |

I believe that the old Barnstoneworth United's goalkeeper Hagerty R is still alive and kicking at the tender age of 92, his brother Hagerty R unfortunately passed away over 30 Years ago.
Anyway getting back to Hagerty R I understand that he's still playing in goal in the Yorkshire Premier League for Denley Moor Academicals and has kept himself fit apart from occasional spells of fainting.
He has his own boots too.
What have we got to lose? got to be better than some bloke called Keiren |  |

good point, pass then. No clue how it all works. I was going off football manager squad rules for when I forgot to add Archer to the squad and Deing got injured so had to sign a free transfer, thats probably more a bug in the game thinking about it than real life
Has Barnes ever been on the bench before? | | | |

Some of his finishing and ball strike in the warm ups puts our actual forwards to shame. | | | |

If you sit behind the goal in the warm up Gavin Ward strikes fear into you whenever he hits the ball. Plenty of power but generally wide of the goal, failing to help the keeper and more often than not breaking the seats in LL. The other chap who works with him is a lot better at working the keeper. |  | | |

We’re lucky in ML as the ball never seems to come our way very often.I’m surprised that more people aren’t hurt during the warm up,as they dont seem to care much about where the shots go. |  | | |

Surely Murphy Mahoney has got to be a better option, fully fit, on the bench and around the squad than a Westwood who doesn’t know the team and hasn’t played for some time. Strange decision. |  | | |
