davieG Posted 4 October 2006 Posted 4 October 2006 Goalkeeping Battle Hots Up Assistant boss Mike Stowell has admitted to an embarrassment of riches within the goalkeeping department. With Conrad Logan, Paul Henderson and Rab Douglas all fit and raring to go, Rob Kelly is facing the type of selection headache all managers crave. Logan currently occupies the number one jersey having started City's last three matches and has received rave reviews for his performances, especially at St Andrews last Saturday where he made a string of impressive saves. The 20-year-old Donegal-born shotstopper, whose hero is Pat Bonner, has certainly made a dramatic impact but Stowell knows it is his job to keep Logan's feet firmly on the ground. Stowell said: "Conrad has made a very decent start and we are proud of him and pleased for him. "His coming out has been positive, he's been brave and done really well. "He certainly has the potential and we are very pleased with what he has achieved so far but the best goalkeepers are the ones who make the least amount of mistakes so we'll look at him in a season or two seasons time and we'll then have a measure of him." However, Stowell, who doubles up as goalkeeping coach, insists that the former Academy starlet can ill afford to rest on his laurels. "All three of our goalkeepers want to play and so they should," he added. "But with Conrad holding the jersey, now the real battle begins. "It's all well and good getting into the team but now he's in there, the other two will be fighting it out to dislodge him and that's great competition and is exactly what we want. "Competition for places breeds good habits and that is what we want all over the pitch. "We want players knowing that they have to play well to stay in the team."

Couldn't RAB go out on loan to Twycross - they always need keepers?
