Think Lucas’s time is done, to much of a risk

Whilst I believe Holy is probably a better goalkeeper than Covolan, I do believe Covolan is a better keeper than Stone. Following on from his sending off v Swindon he is suffering further punishment from the club in addition to the mandatory FA ban. Life is for learning and I personally would be willing to give Lucas one more try if the opportunity presented itself. But the question I ask myself, does he really deserve it?

Stone got dropped when Holy came in. I think Stone is a solid keeper but because I haven't seen him play regularly I can't have a more informed view. Against Salford he let one in that Holy would have saved in my opinion. Holy has a very effective technique in near post situations. With Covolan I think he can make good saves on the stretch when diving, but lots of stuff goes on with crosses with him in goal. In the end I would say that Stone has been told you are coming in as the 2nd choice goalkeeper; so that promise is being kept with him returning to the bench.

I think Tomas is almost entirely untested, the back three have been that good, nothing against him, I just like Lucas and don’t want him frozen out.

I think the defence has been very good recently and Holy hasn't had a game where he has needed to make a large number of saves. However, here comes my counter argument! Because he is big and solid, the opposition are having difficulty crossing and difficulty shooting because he's obliterating their space. I like Covolan as well, but he has got sent off 3 times in season and pre season the Swindon one could be really serious at the end of the season because that was a 6 pointer game.

And covolan has been tested and has failed for us 

Defence and goalkeeper will be important at Tranmere. Tight stadium with 3 stands close to the pitch (Johnny King, Bebbington Kop and Cowshed) and tight pitch. Likely to be a lot of crosses to be stopped or defended. I am really happy its Holy in goal.

There isn’t really a strong argument against your opinion as 3 sending offs for a keeper in half a season is excessive. He will prove to be an expensive failure in view of the 18 months left on his contract. I don’t think he is devoid of talent so could he not be allowed back with a proven temperament adjustment?

It's a really tough career sport. At the moment we must win, so Holy has been brought in and would only come to play. So Covolan is unlikely to play again this season. If we were drifting around with not much on it then I would be more in your camp.

I don’t think he should drop Holy, I think he has come in and done well. I was thinking more if the opportunity arose, say through injury or a club recall etc. it’s just that discipline aside I don’t rate Stone, I think his distribution is generally quite poor and there has been no aspects of the other parts of his game I am drawn to.
