Bobby

[Sneag]

I was saying at the weekend that the Stags have two top quality experienced keepers and that Bobby Olejnik and Conrad Logan as a pair are probably the best keepers the Stags have ever had. Normally the Stags have had a very good No 1 keeper and then a young inexperienced keeper as a back up. Bobby has done a great job but it is now time for Conrad to step up and deliver.

Conrad's distribution is excellent. He's one of the best kickers in the league.

Conrads distribution is awful.

He kept a lot of clean sheets, but his keeping always reminded me of me riding a horse. Has the right gear, mostly stays in the saddle but is never in control of the situation.

Sneag you are spot on in my eyes, Logan never looked for a quick pass out & is not capable of throwing a ball out,miles to slow and sluggish
his only distribution is slow hoof up, Bobby has proven to me to be the catalyst for our new quick tempo build from the back style

A difficult one for David Flitcroft. Conrad will PROBABLY do a good job for us, but does the manager now go for a quality keeper in January or still just focus on another centre back (not sure why ?) and a striker ? Really gutting for Bobby, who has been a key player in our unbeaten run - just look at his crucial saves in the County game. Hope to see him still with us next season in League 1 . . .

Wow. Shocking news He has been a revelation since coming in and we looks so much calmer at the back with him between the sticks. Having said that, Logan is still a good player who had a rough patch of form so hopefully he can show us what we saw from him last season.

Conrad is an excellent kicker. Watch the 2nd half of the B Team Trophy game against Bury. He gathers the ball from a corner and then puts a kick straight on to the end of CJ's toe running through on goal. Unfortunately CJ miscontrolled it but it was a great kick. Conrad is always looking for the quick kick to set up a counter attack but DF will probably want him to throw it out more.

Get Jake Kean. As others have said free agent.

I absolutely agree with this, Conrad is a great keeper at this level who just made a couple of errors (as all keepers do) and Bobby grabbed his chance magnificently. I have no concerns at all with Conrad taking over and suggest some of you above get behind him. He is a fantastic shot stopper and his distribution is generally excellent, yes I think Bobby is the more dominant, but I am not at all worried. One of the few decent things Evans did for our club (and there weren't many) was bringing in two good keepers.

Two posts worth reading again.

Let's have faith. UTS

Don't forget that Conrad Logan was voted as the Chad's Player of the Season last season. The fans have short memories.

i have no faith in him Darren

he is too slow

[Tippy Tappy Football]

You were saying the same at the start of last season Dave but you were proved wrong.

[bellwhiff]

Bad bad day out this.

Having said that, I think people are using inverse rose tinted glasses. There was a fag paper between the keepers at the start of the season. I think Conrad will step up

sorry mate, i just don’t see me being proved wrong

polar opposites our keepers different skill sets

[bellwhiff]

This might be a Paul Evans / Martin New moment.

Completely agree. Conrad is a good keeper.

[PRL13]

I wish Bobby all the best. We need a decent keeper. Conrad must step up and we must get behind him!

[daddycool]

I don’t think Logan will let us down ,first choice last season and part of this . Most players have dips in form

[yellowstagsfan]

Devastated All the best Bobby for a speedy recovery. Need a quality keeper urgently as I don’t rate Logan

[PRL13]

Funny how when I used tp berate Logan, I got castigasted. Now a lot don`t seem to rate him!

[SINA STAG]

Come on guys Conrad made one really bad error against Colchester that cost him his place Bobby stepped up took his chance however football can deal some bad cards I wish Bobby a speedy recovery n hopefully see him next season in division one. As with Conrad were blessed to have two great keepers and with bad luck comes good luck to the young keeper playing for the under 21s his time to step up n be part of the 1st team covering for Conrad if needed hopefully not.

COYS Let's get behind the team were all Mansfield

[tmwilson]

Terrible news for Bobby . Like every keeper , he's had a few blips but on whole he's been excellent .I wish him all the best in his recovery .
Logan i's a very good keeper . His kicking is excellent . My worry is when the ball is crossed and his quick distribution isn't as good as Bobby's but we should be OK . I'm sure all the players throughout the squad have it drilled into them in our Flitcroft wants them to play . . Definitely need a back up in Jan .

[Kenwood]

I’d say the only difference is Bobby is better from crosses and demanding his 6 yard box

Conrad is probably a better shot stopper and can pass a ball 40-50 yards very accurately normally.

It’s a blow but we could have lost someone a lot more influential in our team / season in my opinion.

We will be fine

[gazza1988]

When conrad came in for the cup games I thought he did well. Is Sam Wilson on a pro real? If so I don't think we can do an emergency loan.

I'd say to conrad "I'm getting a replacement for Bobby in January, make sure he doesn't come straight into the side."

[part time pete]

I can’t believe majority are saying Sam Wilson isn’t good enough when vast majority have never seen him play

Is he good enough Pete?

[Kernow]

Yes Sam is, get him on the bench.
