Oh Yes I know.but by then we might know where we are with our keepers.at that point we might have to look at other options.it would get us out of hole in the interim.if knowone else can be found.

If probably wouldn’t have been a problem if Prem rules were same

Could be all smoke screens you know with Johansson/Vickers

Did that goalkeeping coach ever turn up from Exeter? He was still a player there too.

Yes, Scott Brown he is 37

[flourbasher]

Played most of his games for Cheltenham and Port Vale with some for Aberdeen
Hasn’t played for some time

Happy to put him in At the business end of the season in the cship?

At least Scott Brown would know the players and how we play, though not sure if that is an option anyway.

If not then we stick with the 21 year old with 45mins experience, which will be 45mins more that most of the other options that might or might not be available to us.

In that case if I’ve missed something, why can’t we get Rodak from Fulham ?

Has to be a EFL club not PL, as I suspected Scott Brown isnt an option as we would have to sign him as a free agent

"SCOTT Brown isn't an option for Rotherham United as they decide how to tackle the goalkeeping crisis that has hit their Championship survival run-in.

With four matches left to play and safety within their grasp, the Millers have found themselves without a senior shot-stopper following injuries to number one Viktor Johansson and back-up Josh Vickers.

So far, attempts to make a seven-day emergency loan signing to cover Saturday's trip to Bristol City and next Thursday's home clash with Cardiff City have drawn a blank.

Thirty-seven-year-old Brown, the club's keeper coach, had a long playing career between the sticks but there is no chance of him featuring in either of those games.

Manager Matt Taylor revealed the club would have had to sign him as a free agent and that the deadline for that kind of deal has now passed.

If there is no loan signing and Johansson, in a race against time to recover from a shoulder issue doesn't make it, the club will turn to 21-year-old third-choice keeper Robbie Hemfrey, with the possibility of an academy youngster being on the bench.

“Robbie is next in line and we've got an under-18, Nat Ford, who can play as well," Taylor said today. "They're young and inexperienced. They haven't played enough football to play consistently in the Championship. We are in the process of looking to bring a goalkeeper into the club."

Hemfrey came on at half-time of Tuesday's 2-2 draw with leaders Burnley when Josh Vickers - who is facing an unspecified spell on the sidelines - damaged his groin while Ford was in the academy side that lost 2-0 in the Alliance Youth League Cup Final at MK Dons this evening.

Under EFL rules, Rotherham are restricted to bringing in a keeper from another Football League club.

"It's such a strange situation," Taylor said. "We're not able to go to Premier League sides or across the borders. We're so, so limited."

We can’t get a keeper from the premier league, but even if we could why would Fulham loan their number two keeper to us? Who would go on their bench?
