Like Sept 1st or something? narduch and WestHamCanadianinOxford 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic94 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 So given his playing level, I don’t see how he’s going to keep getting called unless he’s lights out. they must like his potential, but League 2 at 24… vs his comparables who are in MLS… We should be calling Gavran before him. narduch, Mihairokov, ahmedou and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure he's getting called over Gavran and Sirois not because he's necessarily better than them, but because he was the 3rd keeper for Brighton so getting called wouldn't interrupt his form or jeopardize a starting spot at club level. That, plus the fact that 3rd keepers for national teams only play in extreme emergencies, meant it made sense to bring him in and let guys like Sirois, Gavran, and Pantemis get MLS starts and keep their club form going. It'll be interesting to see how Marsch views that 3rd keeper spot if McGill is starting week in and week out for MK Dons now. It makes sense to use it as a development spot for a young keeper who is playing in a youth setup or in a much lower league and have the top two spots be where the real competition for minutes happen. Grégoire Świderski is the next logical guy to step into that developmental 3rd keeper role so we can let McGill get some much needed minutes at club level to establish a career for himself. yomurphy1, Corazon, cronaldo7 and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narduch Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 I don't think League Two breaks for international windows. Probably not even a good idea to call him even if he is starting, just to be the 3rd keeper. We did that to Leutwiler once and he basically lost his starting job while away. ahmedou, blueseeka, InglewoodJack and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also seems like Swiderski is a decent prospect and might have a shot at being better than everything we have now. ahmedou 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InglewoodJack Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 If we’re gonna call in a third keeper for practice’s sake, I hope it’s Swiderski until TMG plays at a higher level. Apparently some European teams are looking at Swiderski and it doesn’t look like his future is with Bordeaux. If he ends up at a bigger club riding the bench, we should bring him along.

P-O Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 It's better he plays than being called up for sitting on the Can bench. That way he might become #2 or #1. Who knows. Good move for him. cronaldo7, ahmedou, YorkRegionFan and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InglewoodJack Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 One of my colleagues in the UK is a big Dons guy. Made the mistake of telling him I casually follow Wimbledon (sorta did for a minute), and since then, he’ll razz me during our team meetings after a big Dons win/AFCW loss, and I haven’t had the heart to mention that I’ve moved on to whatever EFL teams our guys are currently playing for. Hoping McGill gets that starting gig, would love to have some water cooler banter to bring to the meetings. Canuckia and ahmedou 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frattinator Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Hopefully this isn't geoblocked in Canada, but good highlight package of McGill over the weekend against AFC Wimbledon (and Goodman). Made a couple of really good saves and none of the goals he could've done anything about. I'm cautiously optimistic that he will become more than just an occasional call up for us. jordan, YorkRegionFan, InglewoodJack and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made a couple of really good saves and none of the goals he could've done anything about. I'm cautiously optimistic that he will become more than just an occasional call up for us. It’s blocked in Canada, but I see he made 5 saves. After 6 games: - 2nd passes per game - 2nd pass per game % - T-2nd for clean sheets - 3rd in goals saved/game - 4th in saves per game - 4th fewest lost possessions per game - 5th in SofaScore rating - 1 of two keepers to have generated a big chance. Dons not looking great to start the season off- 2-0-4, so putting up those numbers behind a relatively weak team means he’s one of the best keepers in the league at this point. If by season’s end his numbers look anything close to what they look like now, his time in Milton Keynes will be quite short. ahmedou, Norrin Radd, Corazon and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
