McGregor has had 14 shots on target at his goal so far this season and has let in 9 of them
McLaughlin has had 3 shots on his goal and has conceded 2.
Our no 1 is a legend but the fact is he has let in 64% of the shots against him and has shown other ropey moments such as handling outside his box and poor distribution
Our 2nd choice although a bit younger has let in 66% of shots that have came at and also could have been sent off for mistiming a run and wiping out a st johnstone player
Mccrorrie has been involved in 3 games this season inc one preseason, 1 away from home in europe and the old firm. He impressed in each of them and kept a clean sheet
I think we need to consider giving the lad a chance. At least play him in the cup and see how he goes
The reason the % of goals conceded vs shots on target is so high for BOTH our 1st team goal keepers is because when our defence f*ck up and gift an opportunity to the opposition it’s almost inevitably an extremely clear cut one.
Today was the perfect example. Gifted Motherwell the chance for their goal and there’s nothing McGregor could’ve done about it. We also gifted them a couple of opportunities in the first half. A decent team (Lyon?) would’ve scored 2 in the first half against us today and there’s nothing McGregor could’ve done about it.
