Albion avoided goalkeeper crisis
8:58am Monday 19th November 2012 in Albion By Andy Naylor
Peter Brezovan in action at Huddersfield
ALBION saved themselves from a goalkeeping crisis – by refusing to let Peter Brezovan out on loan.
Clubs were interested in borrowing the giant Slovak before he jumped from third to first choice in Albion’s 2-1 victory at Huddersfield.
Brezovan was promoted to the bench for the trip to Yorkshire after Casper Ankergren hurt a thumb in training. He ended up between the posts at short notice when regular No. 1 Tomasz Kuszczak pulled out during the warm-up with a finger infection sustained on international duty with Poland last week.
Boss Gus Poyet revealed to The Argus: “I am not going to say the teams but there were three or four interested in Peter.
“But, with that scary situation where you cannot recall him and we have got only two goalkeepers, we were not willing to let him go. Now it’s simple, he is going nowhere!”
Other fringe players could leave on loan before Thursday’s deadline. Championship rivals Barnsley have showed interest in midfielder Ryan Harley and striker Will Hoskins, although the latter is back in the first team picture and came on at Huddersfield in the second half.
Scunthorpe have already failed with a cut-price loan bid to take Matt Sparrow back to Glanford Park. Poyet said: “There are going to be some calls and some movement. It will depend on the players as well and what they want to do because we try to respect their careers.”

He was lucking according to the radio,instead of just catching the ball he was making STAR blocks .Their goal should have been an easy save.

It would be good to see how he would do given first team football, something he is not going to get this year in our team.
The lad is scoring on a regular basis for the development squad and Gus must be keeping a close eye on him. This is a loan deal I think Gus would like to do but I can't see him letting Hoskins go out on loan.

There’s also a process for blocking users. The more outraged you are, the more satisfied you’ll make the poster. It's like feeding the trolls. I just don’t think it warrants police intervention. They probably have more important things to focus on in Croydon.

Agree with all you lads,WH must surely be worth a run of games to show him he is still wanted at the Albion,and for him to prove he is up to it,i am sure he is.Any talk of loaning him out must surely be spurious,it would make no sense at all. UTA
Since Barnes is not really used as an out and out striker Hosko is really the only first team squad alternative to CMS. Actually I am still waiting and would quite like to see Hosko and CMS playing together.
The only possible scenario I can envisage where Hosko goes out on a short term loan would be if Poyet brought in the Target man striker he has said in the past he (Poyet) wants. Even then I would still prefer that Hoskins does not get loaned out.

Seattle have a player that I have been banging on about for weeks and weeks and now they are out of the cup I am banging on about him again.
Eddie Johnson should come to us on loan NOW. The guy might not want to but we should at least ask about him,
Check him out, check out how many goals he has scored this season with his head. The guy is strong, quick and can hold up play and he clearly knows where the goal is.

If youre insulted dont look at the page again dont waste police time. If it was something against Palace im sure youd have a cheeky little chuckle at it.
Apart from that Brezovan was awful at huddersfield doubt well see him again is casper and kuszcak are fit. I cant see how a youth team keeper would have done worse i think the ironic cheers when he finally caught one summed it up perfectly

Obviously not in the same class as TK,and never more than second choice. However, I prefer him to Casper, but it's a matter of opinion I guess.
Brezovan is now the third choice keeper who will rarely get a look in, so I think a bit of perspective needs to be maintained. He was better than an outfield player between the sticks. And, to be fair, he has also pulled of some great/important saves during his time with us.

When did Brez last play a competitive match, he came in from the cold and was expected by some on here, to perform as though he had never been out of the side. Keepers just as out field players need match time to sharpen up.

Sorry Freeloaders i can take any amount of banter,but insulting our badge, and doing it on a site that can be viewed anywhere in the world,is lower than a snakes belly.UTA
