    We've got 2 left backs Grist? Do tell please? I'd settle for one 😂😂

    With all the welcomes he’s receiving on his twitter account I doubt one or two negatives on here isn’t going to spoil his party 😂

    Yes it’s a specialist position so emergency loans are allowed outside of the transfer window, so if we get injuries to our current 2 keepers we could use that route to sign a keeper. No need to have a third keeper on the wage bill.
    Goalkeeper that's only position you can still have an emergency loan so question signing a 3rd keeper. What you going to tell him unlikely you'll get on the bench so be happy picking a wage up for not being involved in the 1st team!

    He's 18 years old! When you started your first job did they immediately give you a wage but not expect you to operate the same as someone who'd been doing it for years or did you 'pick up a wage' while you learned the trade?

    We do have a 2nd team! Surely you don’t want to risk Victor or Viccars getting injured playing in that team!

    And just how many competitive games does this 2nd team play in a season?

    Hardly any

    That’s irrelevant, an injury can occur anytime. Would you want your main two keepers being risked? Before you say it I know he isn’t a keeper but what about Procs, he was looking so good when he got injured, never the same afterwards.

    But where does that stop?

    Three players for each position?

    Even if both of our keepers were unlucky enough to get injured I doubt PW would play that young lad.

    No not 3 players for every position. That’s impossible with a squad size of 21 unless you utilise younger players who don’t count in the squad total. You know a GK is specialist. Several players in a squad can play in more than one position. I agree PW probably wouldn’t play the young keeper but let’s be realistic would you play Victor or Viccars on a regular basis in the 2nd team?
