On average how many games does your 2nd keeper play per season? 1-5 at a guess, so why waste any of your budget on one? Instead we’ve got a GK coach, a role we’d have had to pay for anyway, who is still young enough and played recently enough to cover for those few games. Added bonus that he’s been working with our 1st team keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may even be 3rd choice if Evatt wants to keep Alexander around for cup games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive signing for 4th tier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to see it as trusted generals, especially as Evatt’s former team mates aren’t exactly making up a majority of the squad. Gilks having already worked with Crellin could be invaluable.

He won’t start a league game. It will either be the 2 new strikers, or 1 up front, or Politic or some other established first teamer. He will either go out on loan to non league or get a permanent move in the next window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, and possibly someone like Baptiste as cover in defence, maybe another striker too if Faal doesn't impress Evatt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

white noise Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Wonder why Faal is not impressing. Hill didn’t like what he saw but Evatt didn’t play him at Atherton either. Maybe he will go out on loan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
