Good performance from Fraser last night , it's the coaches ( Rod Burch) and Ange who see him week in week out at Hotspur Way that's why he is No. 2 .
Contract runs out 2025 so doubt we will see him next season but who knows.

I personally thought some of his passing was great, and had good variety. Definitely a capable number 2 for the meantime, if he can keep consistent like last night when called upon.

Awful as 2nd choice. Another area we didn’t address this summer which. could cost us.
Ha @Archibald&Crooks you cheeky bugger rating this funny! I do look like a lemon though after his performance last night, he was excellent and also those of us saying we should've not selected him for Europa and gone for Spence, mabye just mabye Angelos Postecoglou was a mere 30+ years of top level football and squad management was right to select him.

Forster was pretty poor in the other game he played this season and I don't think he is a great fit for how we play but hopefully he will get us by the season and then we'll sign a young suitable replacement next season.

Last night Forster with his Nigel Mansell tash was like peak Peter Schmichel spreading those wings haha.

Fair play to him he was excellent.

I've never understood the criticism he gets on here, has always been a solid number 2 for me. The only worry was his injury, but if he's ok then I see no reason to replace him.

We also have Keely and Gunter coming through as well, so if Forster can keep it up he's the perfect stop gap for one of these two.

We'll have some decisions to make..

Son (obvious, one more year)
Davies (I think it'll be his final season with us)
Forster (one more year)
Whiteman (final season)
Reguillon (final season)
Werner (final season)

With that we've pretty much cleared the decks. Only really Gil and Soloman left to shift.

Kill me now, I can't cope with this

I know he will have a good few games and people will say Vicar is overrated and then goals will pour in

Should definitely have had a better back up keeper to be honest. I’ve had doubts over Forster since the moment he arrived as there’s a massive question mark over his mobility in goal, which isn’t even a common concern for a goalkeeper at this level. He’s been OK in the times he’s stepped in, but I do worry about him in goal for a sustained period for us.

Hopefully he can have a solid game on Thursday and Sunday and kick on from there.

I've never seen all these shit performances he's supposed to have had for us. Been fine each time I've seen him. Obv a 37 year old isn't an ideal profile to have on the pitch, but January is coming and I'm not that panicked tbh.

I think the problem is that he doesn't fit our style of plying out from the back.
I didn't watch the game, but didn't Galatasaray get loads of chances due to this?

We have 10 games before then …
