We have GK’s in our depth chart with at a minimum 20-30+ mls games on their CV, until TMG starts playing why should he warrant a spot over them? Just my two cents. johnyb, Corazon, Shway and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree with you and honestly Sirois should have been called up instead of McGill Footyeh, Ivan, Xavier. and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SthMelbRed Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 The quote is, "I don't think there'll be a better goalkeeper than him in possession in Canada." He's talking about a particular aspect of goalkeeping. While it's a bit silly to make such a bold statement without actually knowing the full goalkeeping pool for us, considering the way that Brighton play, I suspect that he's probably not far wrong. Borjan, Crepeau, and DSC are shot stoppers. None of them are particularly great playing the ball with their feet. jordan, Xavier., narduch and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InglewoodJack Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 I tried reading the article this morning and couldn’t get passed the paywall- I also wasn’t sure if they meant he’s our best keeper in our possession or in possession of the ball. That said, hopefully that article has a snippet about their intention to loan him out in January, because while having a young BHA keeper in our depth chart is good, he’s turning 24 next March and should probably start playing professional ball one of these days. narduch, YorkRegionFan, Corazon and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have we hit a point in CanMNT lore where Thomas Meuiller-Giguere is no longer TMG? sebdeserio and Nate3322 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigandy Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 It's too bad that a GK with possession skills is little to no value when half of the fields we play on wont allow the ball to roll on the ground properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need a keepers exceptional possession skills to beat the minnows with crap pitches, we've passed that stage and are better than that. However, we can use those skills vs the better teams who also have better fields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If mcgills #1 competitve edge over max is his feet, then we should not pick mcgill for concacaf games and instead go with the better shot stopper. So does that mean when we play against argentina we want to switch up our #1 because the pitch is better? Tough ask but basically any gk with possession skills will always be a luxury as opposed to a main criteria when picking your #1 Fullback and costarg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLennard Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 https://youtu.be/0qZFu4QJNQU?si=baFo1oMQnPlV2KB- From his last game, I'd say his shot stopping is much better than his feet. Looks like he wanted to create his own highlight reel. Jokes aside, he had a really busy evening and won his team the match. Hopefully this puts some eyes on him for a loan out. lowlander, YorkRegionFan, johnyb and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like quite the game from him for sure, a loan would be ideal for him. Fingers crossed that can happen this window.

jordan Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Brighton signed Steven Hall from Adelaide United, hopefully McGill gets a loan now with the window closing soon. WestHamCanadianinOxford, narduch, NVsoccer and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cronaldo7 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Brighton U21 lost to League One side Wycombe this evening 4-1 in the EFL Trophy. McGill played 90 mins for Brighton. No idea if he was to blame for any goals, Wycombe had 17 attempts with 6 shots on target. YorkRegionFan, Corazon, narduch and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
