    Another clean sheet for Travers today - that's six in twelve games this season and only eight goals conceded - https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/58853030 - definitely deserves to be in the conversation about Ireland's No.1 which seems to be just focused on Kelleher and Bazunu recently (certainly in the media). I also want to change my position somewhat - I felt it might still be important to have a stopgap goalkeeper or two with a bit more experience for the next campaign, particularly if Randolph retires - the likes of Christy Pym, Max O'Leary, Jack Bonham or Kieran O'Hara. But I'm now happy for for the three youngsters to be our goalkeeping options from now, notwithstanding injuries or the emergence of another star

    On paper (and I wouldn't be suggesting this) he'd be the natural first choice. He's playing regularly (unlike Kelleher) and doing it a division higher than Bazunu with a relatively big club at that level. He did fluff his lines slightly when he got his shot of course.

    In fairness, Stephen Kenny has always been keen to mention the three keepers, not just Bazunu and Kelleher. It does indeed look good for us for that position for some time to come, with all three of them being young, particularly as it’s generally felt that keepers improve with age.
    Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.

    Given so many postponements I ended up watching this one on TV. Travers looked pretty good to me, made a very good save from short range early on. Only beaten by a pen. Could still be a competitor for our No. 1 shirt in long term.

    For all the lively debate about Kelleher v Bazunu for the Ireland no. 1 shirt, Travers remains the one who is playing far, far more regularly than Kelleher and at a higher level than Bazunu: 26 games, 11 clean sheets, for a team lying second in the EFL Championship; concedes an average of just under one goal/game.

    Travers has us right where he wants us.

    Much better at getting across the goal from side to side than either of the other two.

    And before anyone starts, that's just a sad attempt at a pun on the word traverse.

    He's tipping along nicely alright but of the three he would be seen as the most old school style of keeper. Feel this will more often than not lead to him being third choice among the keepers.

    He has done great . He had a nightmare against Serbia and cost us a point that night. His footwork that night was so poor for rhe goals he conceded. Most keeper s can make a great highlights reel of saves the really good ones have excellent footwork the travers just didn't show that night

    Who'd be a goalkeeper? No shortage of rumours and speculation this weekend, but Eddie Howe is reported to be unhappy with the keepers he found at Newcastle and wants to bring in Dean Henderson from Man Utd. (Evening Chronicle). So one of the Toon's keepers would have to leave, and Bournemouth have been enquiring about Freddie Woodman, who had a successful 6 months at Swansea last season (nufcblog) The Bournemouth no.2, Norwegian international Nyland, is out of action for perhaps the next 8 weeks. So if Woodman does go south, will he back-up to Travers, or the Cherries' new no. 1, with promotion in mind?

    Travers is very much the established number one at Dean Court and has been, in many supporters' eyes, Bournemouth's player of the season so far. By all accounts he was was excellent again yesterday and I'd be very surprised if he lost his place in the team for absolutely no good reason to a journeyman like Woodman.

    I agree with the above point except that 24 is a very young age to be considered a journeyman!

    Just crying out for Kelleher to join in September!

    Howe has an issue that if he buys someone its has to be a "name" and be bought at 3 times their actual value

    Mark Travers - 9

    For a young, developing goalkeeper, his concentration is a precocious trait. He had very little to do for the first 51 minutes, before being called into action and with the strength of his right hand, keeping out a close range header. Perhaps if that went in and Birmingham had halved the deficit, things would have been even more difficult after Jefferson Lerma's red card.

    His second big save, though, from Lukas Jutkiewicz, was the pick of the bunch. A superb display of athleticism. Travers keeps making key saves at key moments in a match.

    Rating from last night's game against Birmingham.

    https://twitter.com/afcbournemouth/s...410735617?s=21 A nice post to flick through. He’s having an incredible season. He must be pushing Bazunu hard now for the number one spot. Deserves some game time in March

    Doing fantastic not sure ramsdale is much of an upgrade on him so bournmouth have really struck gold with their keepers. For us though I think Kenny has to pick a keeper and give him gametime and bazunu has the jersey so it's his to lose. Don't think it possible to rotate 3 young keepers like we have even though I'd love to see Kelleher as number 1. Travers had the chance against Serbia to be the number 1 keeper and unfortunately didn't take it.

    The only player Newcastle signed noticeably above market value was Chris Wood and he's hardly a name. I think that's a bit of a myth.
