I have virtually no idea how good Archer is as he’s hardly had anything to do here. But he seems calm on the ball and is a good communicator, neither of which are Eastwood’s strengths. Nor is Eastwood very good on crosses - he either stays rooted or doesn’t command the box. He’s an old fashioned shot stopper, and a largely very fine one, but he wasn’t quite the same after that horror injury to his finger last year, and this season has looked ropier still, quite possibly due to his family moving away. He produces the odd brilliant save which makes you think it’s still in there, but overall he’s not what he was. He’s gone from being a great keeper at this level to an okay one who is occasionally decent, in my opinion. He’s nowhere near the standard of the first two seasons after he rejoined.
Can see him leaving in the summer for sure, but permanently swapping keepers mid-season would be a hell of a risk, even if Archer were available and willing to stay. Think it’s more likely Eastwood will come back in to finish the season, so hopefully he gets closer to his old self for the run in. I can’t imagine there’s virtually any chance that he’s here beyond that, though, so the goalkeeping position in general is certainly one to keep an eye on.
