Ruairidh Adams - Scotland U21 starter from Dundee Utd on loan at East Fife just now.

Not sure if he’s available but would suggest it’s worth a look.

Why? If he`s playing for East Fife, he`s leaking goals like a sieve.

We`ve just returned an U21 keeper, a decent lad, but miles off the pace so far.if we are to sign a keeper, it has to be someone with more experience.

Billy is a fine goalkeeper. Yes he had that howler yesterday but that’s what coaching is all about to get rid of these things.

One of our favourite goalies Ian Westwater wouldn’t have lasted 3 months if he was judged by today’s standards.

Sometimes standing by a player with obvious potential is worth far more than reactionary measures.

Not a fan of billy at all. He’s let other soft goals in as well, not as bad as yesterday’s but he’s not the standard we need to compete at the top of this division.

He`s young, had a howler on Saturday. He will learn from it and move on.

You have to have a good spine in the team meaning 2CB/2CM and 2 Strikers.. Build the rest round that core with solid wing backs/ wingers on either side.
A decent GK doesn’t need to do much apart from the basics if he has players in front of him.

I was at Ayr when he air swiped a clearance due to a bump on the pitch and the ball went in.
I won’t mention the Clyde game lol
But you know what?
Pars fans forgave the occasional howler because he saved us so many times.

I still like Billy Terrell - Yes he made a bad decision to come out which led to the first goal. However, as India has said, he is young and he will learn from that. The problem with keepers is everyone remembers a mistake.

He has made a number of good saves and his coming out as sweeper keeper to clear the danger has been good at many other times. While his kicking doesn`t have the accuracy that Tobi had, he still gets us forward quickly. I like the way he is always looking to release the ball quickly to get us going and is not frightened to come out for the ball.
