Agreed, but selfishly I’d like him to teach me how to become a great shopper! Any tips at all that can help me and the missus save some money would be much appreciated!

Like your thinking mate.
No reason that the fans are aware of perhaps. When Danny was dropped it did him the world of good cause he's hardly put a foot wrong since.
Would opt for long every time. Splitting hairs aside, he gets my vote cause he's younger and Bart won't be with us much longer so time to move on. It's easy to sit and say Bart would have saved that, etc etc, but that's a weak and purely hypothetical arguement.
Until Danny Mac put the cross in for Flems hatrick he was terrible. For me Long hasn't had much to do in the games he's pkayed in. Only v Huddersfield did he earn his place.
He's very dodgy at crosses as proven at Preston. He's also let in a couple of goals where I think Bart would of saved them.
Long is excellent with his feet and distribution. As per previous posts keepers are there to save the ball.Bart is definetly better shotstopper.
Long will come good but I feel every mistake he makes he is compared to Bart as Bart has been outstanding the last 3 years.

That is a polar opposite view to most in here and quiet harsh.

Don’t really care tbh with you mate,I’m not a sheep
everyone’s entitled to say there peice and to be perfectly honest with you I have read through the posts and I don’t know where you get the polar opposite remark from 
It's a close call for me, I would vote for Bart on this, mainly because he shows more enthusiasm and encouragement and is quick to jump on those in front of him who he feels could have done better? I don't think Long has such close connection with his fellow defenders perhaps as he feels he is still fighting to keep his place. Definitely agree that Long's distribution is better so it's a case of which priority, distribution vs the other 10 making the ball talk.
