Bass out - Jodi injury setback

[countygump]

Bass is going to be out 'for a while' (although perhaps not the rest of the season) according to SM, so we're looking in the free agent market and will make a move if the right deal comes along for another 'keeper. Slocombe said it's difficult to even train properly with only two 'keepers.

Jodi 'itching to get back' but SM still sounds a little guarded on when it will be.

Here: if you fancy a listen.

The thing with Brooks, he wasn't ready for League 2 football. Plus we had 2 other reserve keepers so why keep a 3rd?

Because our other 2 senior keepers were dreadful, and should have been released. Brooks didnt do that bad when he played a couple of games, bearing in mind what crap played in front of him..

Everybody's correct in hindsight. It's a wonderful thing

Nothing hindsight about it, it was a fact that we needed another backup keeper, and that Stone and Slocombe were deemed not good enough by most Notts fans.. Like i said, we have ourselves to blame for being in this situation.

What will you say if it turns out we do have a free agent keeper ready to come in?

Oven ready? Hope he's not a turkey and doesn't flap at crosses into the box.

Normally I say Slocs ain?t a bad back up but with possibly having the best keeper in the league it feels like an even bigger blow.
Not sure Brooks was the answer, none of the previous managers seemed to have a lot of faith in him. It feels a bit like the Sam Osbourne situation where some wanted to give a youth player a opportunity/ contract but ultimately they probably weren?t good enough.

Why does Brookes get the grace of a dodgy defence when Stone walked into exactly the same?
Brooks did ok, but certainly didn?t look any better than what we had!

What's Ben Foster upto nowadays.

Don't be stupid

We should have signed one earlier...But i suppose there are always those who are quite happy for us to be unable to field a strong bench and to have a calamity keeper as back up..

Stone was awful from day one, regardless of those in front of him.. I suppose now you will be saying we should have kept him...
