    Got to have played 10+ games

    Rules out Paul Malcolm, but Marlon Beresford just qualifies

    Andy Marriott was absolutely crap.

    Funny thing is, we’ve had a lot of goalkeepers who were very average for us that ended being decent keepers. Nick Colgan (started bang average), Ross Turnbull and Scott Flinders come to mind.

    I think in years to come if this thread was to appear again, Slonina and Killip may end up being mentioned.

    In my time watching I always found David Preece to be utterly terrible.

    Super funny bloke, but crap keeper

    But the ultimate worst for me has got to be Nick Townsend, shocking keeper! Far too small to be a keeper as well.

    Mike Pollitt was the one that came to mind first, but from a bit of googling it appears he doesn't meet the criteria of playing 10 games. Not only was he awful, but his arrival signalled the end of Luke Steele's time with us.

    I suspect Vito Mannone also doesn't qualify.

    So Radlinger it is...

    He did alright, possibly 10-12 years after he left us. At the time though, it was like putting my 12 year old daughter in nets.

    Edit: I think it was Sunderland he got a decent run for.

    Not fair - only reason Malcolm didn't play 10 is because he was that BAD!

    Not a bad performance to see 2 or 3 of the worst keepers ever all in the same season lol.

    There are 102 players in that line up, shouldn't be too difficult to keep a clean sheet.
