Seems like he was Dundalk number 1 for two seasons, playing 2nd half of last year with Daryl Horgan after he left Wycombe. Probably as good as we could hope for given the circumstances, has actual professional experience rather than a youngster dragged back from a non-league loan.
Rava saved a penalty in the EFL Trophy group game against Wimbledon. And his distribution from goal kicks etc. is better than Max's.
If we play with a high press, he'll spend most of the game watching from afar as our front men attack the opposition penalty area, and won't be called on to do much.
Aside from Max and Josh, this is probably our best XI. The worry is when we play with Vokes, who is fantastic at bringing people into play, we forget he has a top touch and just whack it to his head.

We’ve signed Nathan Sheppard to be in goal.
Nathan Shepperd, goalkeeper, formerly with Dundalk and Brentford academy graduate signs deal.
Heyyyyy Ma-Kalambay, ay!

Is there anything that man can't do (except score like most of the team!)
Confirmed on EFL suspension website, Max has a 3 match ban.
Was dismissed for Serious Foul Play rather than Denying a Goal Scoring Opportunity.
Can’t believe we haven’t appealed that, or if we did it was rejected!
Argument to make that he prevented a goal but was never a dangerous tackle.
Do you have a link for this? Cheers
- Seven changes from Saturday
- Ravizolli, Grimmer, Vokes, McCleary, Low, Potts and Taylor come in
- Stryjek is suspended
- Vincent-Young joins Earley and Campbell in the treatment room after injury at Stevenage
Who's Shepperd?
MB is Tinkerman. Discuss.
Matty Taylor seems to be doing a pretty fair job of taking over from Alfie May. 4 goals in his first 5 appearances.
That is a shocking decision! (to award a 3 match ban)
A three match ban for Stryjek is absolutely terrifying after how shaky Rava looked at the weekend. That could be very very costly if we don’t appeal.
So who’s had there tickets checked going into the vere
A goalkeeper signed about 20 minutes ago.
Three-match ban is an absolute disgrace
Big concern about three match for Max. Rava looked nervous and shaky at the weekend. Hopefully things improve tonight. We need the points.
Any updates from the Couhig Q+A?

We'll be fine.
We gotta trust our back up keeper. Not so long ago people were calling for max to be dropped after some shakey performances and "THAT" incident.....
Now people are worried about ravizzoli starting.... funny old game...
Franco is yet to concede a goal for Wycombe though right? Absolutely deserves his chance.
Rava is replacing the worst keeper in the league isn't he? Should be okay...unless he is the worst number 2 in the league, of course.
Also, he used to play for Club Deportivo Morón. Hats off sir.

oh oh....
pretty sure he was in goal against Morecombe In FA Cup. and West ham U21s
Best wishes to Franco on his League debut for us and only his third ever League game.

Unbelievable.
If we haven't appealed why on earth not?
