    TBH I'm happy with the keepers. Would probably have preferred Price to go rather than O'Donell, but don't see why we need 4 keepers at this level.

    I think Rodak is good for now, will probably become great, and we probably won't be able to afford him in June, but doing a decent job this season.

    I would be quite happy with Bilboe on the bench for experience. How many times in a season does a keeper go off injured / sent off & need to be replaced ?

    I’m just concerned when international duty calls, Price will be absent (injured or personal issues) and we have Bilboe in net with academy keeper on bench

    We won’t know until 23rd of Jan if one player we want will be here

    Unless a better keeper becomes available then Warney is happy with what we have

    Moore probably would have chose us if a championship club (Barnsley) hadn’t come in for him
    More bullshine from the club, particularly about Moore and 23rd January.
    If it's a press conference why don't our local journalists ask searching questions? For example:
    There are a lot of rumours circulating that Lee Frecklington has left the club. Are these true?
    What is the situation with Lewis Price?
    What has happened to Alex Bray?
    Have Muskwe and Bailey-King been given new contracts?
    Have Chesterfield shown an interest in signing Richard Wood?

    Instead we get the usual propaganda from the club and the journalists just swallow it. Not impressed at all 😕

    In fairness to the local journalists, I believe the 'press conference' these quotes are from is more just an interview for the ifollow service so there won't be any searching questions, I think the proper press conference is done afterwards, correct me if I'm wrong.

    Well whenever it is you have to admit they never seem to ask any "difficult" questions Masborough.
    A lot of the articles are just bland and are often a simple re-hash of what's been written before.

    Oh yeah, i agree with that, they only ever push it so far, but I think they'll at least ask the Frecklington and Wood questions today.

    Perhaps the journalists dare not ask questions, has they could be banned from the stadium.

    Look what has happened with the Daily Mail newspaper getting banned on Virgin trains.
