Ross Fitzsimons

[Chicken Balti Pie]

How do you know no-one was available?

Ardley and others have said. If I remember correctly, it was a toss up between Schofield and Alex Palmer but Palmer was more expensive

Nope, Ardley mentioned no one wanted to come to a team battling relegation and when we had Alex Palmer on emergency loan, I think it was Crossely who said he was an option as well as Schofield

So how come we signed O'Brien, Rose, Doyle (and Milsom) in January?

And Barclay, CMS, Gomis and Stubbs on loan in addition to Schofield

It's obvious that Fitzsimons doesn't feature in our manager's future plans, so it's best that we can get him at least partly off the wage bill. It's a bit of a gamble not having a keeper on the bench, but it's one that's paid off so far.

With the injury clause it's a great move for the club and maybe the player.

Slocombe has been one of if not our best player during this good run

Available goalkeepers...

We've still got Jake Kean as well in the event of an emergency.

What about a real emergency? Seeing as we don't put a sub keeper on the bench, we must have an outfield player lined up to take over if Slocombe gets injured or sent off. I presume they would do a few training sessions with the goalkeeping coach in the week, but has it ever been revealed which player would take over between the sticks?
