You mean a bit like you do on most matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I was a keeper myself and you could've put a video together like that for me really which shows 'best bits' so to speak. I won't judge him until I've seen him play but 99% sure Letheren will be a backup keeper to probably a loanee keeper (whoever that may be) Thought kettings was still here.. is he number 1 then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt he'll even get in the first team of a League Two club. Fair play, it's his choice, I can't see him get many better offers than us. Maybe if he stayed he'd have got an opportunity through injury. He was just unfortunate last season that he was 2nd choice behind the best keeper in the league and had no chance of displacing Ripley.

I think the likelihood was that he was there in case of injury or sending off in a game and for the following game another loanee would have come in. I suppose his self confidence wasn't helped by Shez not choosing a sub keeper for several of the last few games when Taylor was playing.

It would be a serious kick in the tits if you weren't needed on the bench because the new boy playing left wing played in goal once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they were all at home but may be wrong. also true that Taylor has some ability as a keeper and has stepped in at least once - for Pogs at port vale on a Tuesday night. Whether Shez thought I'll put another forward on the bench and risk putting Taylor in if need be I don't know. But the again I've always liked a good conspiracy theory? We might have had another keeper warming up behind the grassy knoll. Edited June 30, 2017 by astottie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whittles left foot Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 For a goalkeeper what is a big step up? A shot is a shot-a cross a cross. Not convinced-you either have ability or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
