Do we have a recall clause on for Brooks?? We definately need a keeper on the bench for the Grimsby game. I certainly wouldn't be playing that game without one with the new rules. Being a season long loan can you recall?

I'm not sure but something needs to happen. To the people who've seen Stone play, why does everyone say he's so crap?
As for Slocombe he's always been underwhelming. Unless it's a tip over the bar from a shot straight at him, he never really saves anything. A good keeper pulls off saves and you think that was a great save, must happen once in a blue moon with Slocombe as he just seems to let them all in.
As I say, why is Stone so crap according to people?
Brooks is injured, we'll probably need to loan a keeper
We needed to sign a competent keeper as well as a couple of 4XL sized athletic/ball playing defenders at the beginning of this Season, last Season and the Season before, but never seemed to get around to it, Get it done!!!!Quote:

Didn't know that, so a loan it will have to be.Quote:

You just can't envisage either of our keepers, playing a blinder in any match and keeping out every opposition shot and allowing us to sneak a 1-0. Sadly, neither of them are good enough.Quote:

Ridiculous Stone is being wrote off Brindley got outmuscled for the first goal and Cameron’s back pass stitched him up for his sending off - Brooks could have got sent off at Bromley and Slocombe at Wembley,they are only as good as the pass backs and more exposed as keepers
When he returns from suspension give him a chance,fans are far too quick to write new signings off ..as we did Mair after the first cup game
Agree 100%Quote:

Must be a f***** nightmare playing behind our defence.
It was an awful back pass but does that mean you have to get yourself sent off? Complete brain fart.
What was Slocombe doing for the third? The one where he kicks the post in frustration. His attempt at a save was worryingly cr@p.
