Gilks, Dixon, Alexander and Brockbank 😂. Sorted in the keeper position 😉

I don’t understand why it’s a surprise that we haven’t blown the budget and gone big on a new keeper. IE has already said that Gilks is first choice next year, therefore we’re shopping for a sub keeper - why would we spend any more than we need to for a player that is going to spend the majority of next season not playing?

It’s not certain that he won’t be playing though. I’m sure IE will make a decision who plays when everybody’s come through training. I’d imagine Gillo will start as first choice but it’s up to Joel to prove he should have his chance. I’m sure both Joel and IE are confident that if Gillo does slip then he won’t let anyone down. Gillo is 39 now and even if fit must surely lose some athleticism at some point.

let it go

Indeed. He’s playing a percentage game. I don’t know the stats but the number of times in a season where a keeper comes off the bench is very low.

idiot

If Gilks cocks up for 15 games the other keepers in, simple as.  The Fleetwood keeper soon got fired of after January on team selection 

Not sure the lad himself will be entirely happy at giving up regular first team games at Barrow just to sit on our bench.

He must feel he has a decent chance of being the number 1 number 1.

Which in itself, suggests he is a reasonable keeper for the level we're at.

He will be on more money, and he’s got an aging keeper in front of him so he’s got to fancy his chances of getting in front of Gilks. 

Blind Ben Amos off to Wigan - I’d to know how many of our ex players they have signed in the last 10/15 years.

I suppose imitation is the greatest form of flattery

These new owners of theirs throwing some money around then? Let's hope they make the same mistakes as Hong Kong Phoeey

You would hope so. In fact, I doubt evatt would want a youngish player who was happy to sit on the sidelines. 

Maybe Gilks will be his shouting coach.

Throwing my 10p in Evatt now trusts both keepers and to be honest its when not if Dixon makes the number 1 spot his own.

I think both Gilks and Evatt will want Dixon in the team from day one, but he may be eased in sooner rather than later

We dont have 2 keepers competing against each other so i think they may gel on and off the pitch

If Gilks can get Dixon to replicate his organisation skills we may have a decent keeper for the next few years

You used "to" instead of "too"

Seem to be in the minority here but happy we’ve bought Dixon in and I simply want the keeper who is playing better starting. Gilks or Dixon. Good business imo

Couldn’t agree more. Gilks made such a difference and I’d have faith in him in league one, Dixon providing some competition will be good, and they must rate him to give him a 2 year deal

Well im happy to be in the minority with you. Well said and I don't think it's a minority.  Gilks deserves to start the first match and we go from there. Another area strengthened with a contracted back up/rival who seems to be a decent option at this level. No problem for me

Who’ve we had Off them? Fuckin no one. Raikes Lane take less of our unwanted crap

Doodo.

They've been doing it for years. They had Scott Green, David Lee, Per Frandsen and Emerson Thome too.

More recently, in addition to those already mentioned, you can add Jamie Proctor & Craig Davies.

I wonder if their main scout lost his driving licence and just jumped of the bus to Bolton/Horwich.
