Jones urges Saints to stop switching keepers
8:50am Thursday 3rd January 2013 in Sport
Paul Jones
Saints have been urged to at last find stability in the goalkeeper position during January, after yet another change in that department this week.
Kelvin Davis was dropped in favour of Artur Boruc for Tuesday’s 1-1 draw with Arsenal, marking the fifth time the keeper has been switched in the club’s Premier League campaign, writes GORDON SIMPSON.
Saints’ former stopper, Paul Jones, pictured right, has warned that the lack of a trusted number one can lead to dangerous disruption at the back.
Like many fans, Jones is hoping the club can this month resolve what has proved to be their most troublesome position of all – either by one of their current three keepers finally laying claim to the shirt, or by addressing the problem in the transfer window.

I doubt we will be buying another keeper. I expect he will eventually stay with Boruc once the early nerves have settled down.

If we cannot find anyone we can trust above what we have, then stick to Boruc and pray he improves and that the defense settle down around him.

Unfortunately he has made his mistakes in front of cameras in the Prem,most young keepers make there errors in front of one man and his dog.

This is why he has to go. He hasn't a clue if the realists hasn't told him to drop Davis and fox SFC would be under QPR.
Do us another favir Nigel and get rid of J-rod the guy is useless

If NA was thinking about a new keeper, would he have brought Boruc back in for Davis? Don't think so.
Personally I'd go with Davis. Seems to have made the least mistakes this season from my dodgy memory.

No new keeper Adkins is quoted by the Times at 16:45

I think having three keepers, from which any of them could play can have a positive impact. It will make them give their all in training and they know they must perform well in matches. Just look at both Hart and Cech's poor performances this season with noone to challenge them. Somehow keeper has become the only position where it's perceived you can't change te player.
