Crusoe Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share Posted June 2, 2017 Oh, I believe it, just waiting for official word before I update the list. I think they will mention it, maybe tacked on to the end of another story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 It's a bit light keeper wise! Not sure it is that bad news, but guess we will never know. One thing struck me is the fact we have had a mini production line of keepers recently, one who could act as reserve keeper but seemingly not this year. So could a non league signing be a cheap-ish option, which got me thinking, when was our last non league keeper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't we have a young lad last season who went on loan to a local non league side and impressed? I bet BP1960 will know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet BP1960 will know That may be youth team keeper Callum O'Neill who has been on loan at Stalybrifge Celtic. Has looked good wherever I've seen him in the youth team. Similar in build and style to Joel Coleman. Didn't see anything in the retained list to say whether he has been kept on or not though.

Crusoe Posted June 3, 2017 Author Share Posted June 3, 2017 I could be wrong but I think he is moving from the first year of his scholarship to the second, so we don't have to make a decision on him yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right, but he did sign at the same time as many who have not been retained, hence my confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it just! It seems strange so few keepers come through the non league route yet it is not considered strange for other positions. It may John Platt could have been the last, amazing!

Dave_Og Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I can't think of a single keeper at non-league level that I have ever thought could move up other than the odd one on loan from a league club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree I watch plenty of non league football and the standard of keeping is very poor, one explanation could be clubs having four or five on the books in the PL and Championship and even some lower league teams have three meaning the standard lower down has been diluted.

Not many, just a few off the top of my head, Bert Trautmann, Neville Southall, Dave Beasant, Carlo Nash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 My other team is a non league side, was where Maik Taylor (Fulham, NI and I think Southampton) started. Also Simon Moore (Brentford and I think Cardiff). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latics_Fanatic Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Shez on LP said that he has Tope as an striking option next season. Not officially confirmed that he has signed, but probably as close as you can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard still looks like he's packing a few pounds though...... send him up and down Tandle Hill for a few days..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
