Bibbo’s the odd one out. Really hope we’re bringing in a top-notch goalkeeping coach.
What makes you think Bibbo isn't a good goalkeeping coach ?
It's possibly the strongest position at the club at the moment in terms of depth of talent.
I have no idea if he is any good, but I see nothing that says he isn;t fit for the job - he just hasn;t got a top notch playing background.
With absolutely no substance whatever! Perhaps Alan Partridge could offer us his more specialised view. FWIW, my view in terms of first team keepers, was that the basis of two decent players was/is there. Marcus had his strengths, Fed's got his. I'm not sure either of them have really improved, and more worryingly their key weaknesses haven't been resolved. That's where Bibbo's got to earn his corn.
Never mentioned Bibbo before, only Andersen in which I've seen 3 matches of his in which he was abysmal in all of them at Blue Square Premier level. Followed by a loan spell at Brighton where they sent him back after a couple of games because again, he was appalling.
Not a massive fan of Federici personally but he'll probably be ok, not as good as Hahnemann who'll be a big miss next season.
Hard to tell the real merits of coaches as we don't see what they do,just 40minutes of warm up in which Bibbo does what every gk coach does. Few shots, few crosses, few kicks. Hahnemann really likes Bibbo though, reading his diaries he refers to Bibbo with great warmth and appreciation. Think you could definitely say Federici is a much better keeper now than he was, Andersen no more comment,Hamer has improved by going out on loan and actually doing well when on loan. It's an interesting position for Rodgers this summer.Lots of new managers want 'their' goalkeeper when they go to a new club, he has got a few keepers here but all young and fairly unproven still at this level, I wouldn't be 100% shocked if he went and got another one.

anyway)
