During the period when Maresca was EDS coach, JT was on loan at Accrington Stanley followed by Bolton. I am sure their paths crossed, and the club and Maresca may have been in regular contact, but I don't think Maresca was able to select him as his goalkeeper.He coached half the Chelsea team and Trafford when he was managing the City u21s.
What's a whole Goalkeeper?Haha maybe I just don't really like the whole Goalkeeper spraying the ball about. It took me a good while to stop having cardiacs watching Eddy every week.

No, you are not. JT has been better on the ball than Donna but that's not exactly a big accomplishment. In the FA Cup Final v Chelsea Trafford's distribution was for shit. I think Trafford's biggest edge over Donna is his ability to handle crosses in traffic. This idea that he's anywhere near Eddy as a passer of the ball is a myth...Am I the only one who thinks Trafford looks equally as shaky as Donnarumma with the ball at his feet? Not sure it's that clear cut. I've been impressed with his general goalkeeping though.
Agree with this. I was at the Amex when we played on Aug and Trafford was a key reason we lost total control of the game in the 2H. Kept booting the ball upfield aimlessly and gifting the ball back to them.No, you are not. JT has been better on the ball than Donna but that's not exactly a big accomplishment.

Also, JT is an excellent shot stopper IMO...
Fair doos.From the mancity.com
After then being elevated into Enzo Maresca’s Elite Development Squad at the outset of the 2020/21, Trafford went on to figure 11 times that term to help our Under-21s claim a first-ever Premier League 2 title and also featured on the bench for City’s first team in a 1-0 win at Sheffield United in October of 2020
I want JT to start as well. With him in goal we have won 2 trophies with Donna 0. I understand the logic behind Donna but our play looks so much more comfortable with JT. Also I have bias for playing one of our own.Fair doos.
I am pleased. JT would be my first-choice GK. However, I would also be pleased if Pep stayed!
I agree on the eye test we look more fluent with JT in goals and we don't seem to get as many mad scrambles from set pieces although maybe we don't have a big enough sample size on that point.Fair doos.

Think it will depend on who his manager is.Got a horrible feeling that if he starts Sunday he’s off.
He is a Cumbrian farmer. They are all grumpy fuckers.Close the door on your way out, you grumpy fucker

Can’t say that on here mateThought he was a bit crap on crosses yesterday.
Still better than Donna on crosses….Can’t say that on here mate
Not a better shot stopper though .Still better than Donna on crosses….
