it’s all on their strength of character, but goalies often end up resulting after a poor period.
Gomes played almost no football for 3 seasons till we sold him to Watford aged 33, he became their first choice and was very good for them for 4 seasons.
No pressure or spotlight on him at Watford. Small club with low fan expectations and little media coverage. When he made the odd mistake etc it wouldn’t have been jumped on. His confidence would have grown and grown
Still made mistakes but nothing compared to that last sad period in goal for us
