Graham Stack - Will he ever play for RFC again?

[Behindu]

I hope Stack goes, am I right in thinking he's never kept a clean sheet?

Dangerous stat - Federici lets in more than 2 goals a game on average and has no clean sheets for us !

Technically, he kept a clean sheet against Spurs as we already 1-0 when he came on.

Still more than none though.

Stack kept a clean sheet against Sheffield Utd in the cup win.

Come on be fair, how many goals that he has conceeded you've really thought 'could have saved that?' Not many.

[Nezhen]

The poor guy was already written off by w@nkers on here when he went off on loan to Leeds.

Fickle RFC fans rise again !

I hope he will be back challenging Hanhneman again next season. He is a top keeper and a great guy to boot.

[Behindu]

and a great guy to boot.

He's a pretty good guy to iron as well apparantly...

But I'm shocked you get pleasure kicking our reserves !

THeres a nasty and inapropriate joke to be made there somewhere, But I'll leave it to someone else to say it.

Ask a Leeds fan, they'll give you quite a comprehensive list. I'll accept that Stack has never played behind a first choicet defence but he's always looked edgy and doesn't inspire confidence.

If I asked a Villa fan about De La Cruz or a Forest fan about Gunnarsson it would be different to what i've seen.

[From Despair To Where?]

To be honest, I've only seen 3 of Stack's appearances for Reading and from what I've seen of him, I'm inclined to agree with the Leeds fans. That's the big difference between him and Bryn/DLC. He came here with a good reputation which he hasn't lived up to in his albeit brief appearances.

Admittdly, Federici has looked iffy at times too. I'd rather we bought a keeper ready made to challenge Marcus and loan out Federici. I don;t feel Stack has a future with the club and for the sake of his own career needs to regain his feet somewhere else.

For 6 minutes against a rampant Man Utd, playing behind a defence who had chosen that precise moment to do their world famous 4 man headless chicken impression....

You're a tough man to please !

Burnley - pulled off some great saves but has to shoulder some of the blame for both their goals - caught in no mans land for the first and flapped at a cross for the second.

Wasn't that great at Blackburn either.

He's young though and will learn

Indeed, and I've seen Van Der Saar, Robinson , Carson , Foster and th eothers have iffy moments this season so no reason Fed shouldn;t either ! I'd say the positives outweigh the odd moment of panic and he's done well given that he has never played a run of games behind a settled defence at any point in his career as a pro !

[From Despair To Where?]

I agree which why I think he is a much better option than Stack but I would rather have another keeper pushing Marcus.

Ashdown had a decent spell on loan in the lower leagues and looked all the better for it when we neded him. A decent run on loan would be so much better for him. We've got to start thinking about life after Marcus. Stack won't be here when that happens and I don't think the odd first team appearance over 2 years is adequate preparation for Federici.

I suspect that with a season in Div 1 we'd have ourselves a genuine Premiership quality keeper.

Maybe a loan signing for us of an older experienced keeper to back up Marcus and Fed out to someone for the season. Much may depend on Marcus's hand - if it looks like he'll miss more than a couple of games we'll have to bring in cover.

And his performance at Old Trafford has put him in the window for a decent loan spell in the Championship.
