Concerns over the goalkeeping crises in Nigeria's national team, the Super Eagles, is increasing daily, with calls for fresh hands in between the sticks.
Latest to join the calls for a change, were the trio of former Super Eagles goalkeeper, Abiodun Baruwa, Dele Aiyenugba and Dosu Joseph, who all concluded that given another goalie a chance to mann the post is the only way to solve the problem.
The trio made their submissions after watching the Eagles battle to a 1-1 draw against Zimbabwe in last Sunday's World Cup qualifier in Rwanda, a result that puts Nigeria's hope of qualifying for the mundial in jeopardy.
Baruwa, Aiyenugba and Dosu, in separate interviews, all called on Super Eagles' coach, Jose Pesseiro to give Hapoel Jerusalem safe hand, Adebayo Adeleye a chance to prove his mettle.
Baruwa, in his words said. "I believe there is nothing wrong in giving another goalkeeper a chance when there is problem with the one you are using.
"We have seen enough of Francis Uzoho, I think it is time the coach give a goalkeeper like Adebayo Adeleye a chance to prove himself".
Corroborating the views of the former Shooting Stars' goalkeeper, Kwara United goalkeeper, Dele Aiyenugba, states the need for urgent change in the goalkeeping department to save the Eagles.
"The coach should make up his mind now and heed to calls for a change. We have someone like Adebayo Adeleye who is doing well with his club, why not give him a chance and let's see what he can offer".
The former Enyimba FC of Aba goaltender, opined that the situation could still be salvaged but urged that the right step be taken in terms of selection, particularly in the goalkeeping department.
Atlanta Olympic gold medallist, Dosu Joseph, said at present, Adebayo Adeleye is in good form and therefore deserves to be given a chance as the Super Eagles' first choice.
"If Uzoho is not doing well, which can happen to any player, then let the coach look elsewhere and bring in a replacement. I am personally of the opinion that giving Adeleye a chance to prove himself will be the best decision for the coach, hinted the ex Julius Berger goalkeeper.
