Re the keepers: the 3 loanees played 11 games, which resulted in a surprisingly decent 4 wins. Leaving Colgan with an incredible record of 5 wins in 35!
And from memory alone, he did his best during one of those 5 wins to make it 4! About 2:50 in... [youtube]xbQFS3m2WqQ[/youtube] |

What a season that was for keepers, Colgan and Forecast!
Shockingly, Tommy four past was a part of the England set up when he came on loan wasn’t he? That “lob” header from the guy on the six yard line is etched in my memory. |

From the black and white striped shirts
To the fish in the sea
You'll hear us singing
Coz we are Grimsby.
You won't hear us crying
But you'll hear us shout
Coz we are the Grimsby
And this is our chant.......... Grimsby! Grimsby! Grimsby!

Coulson’s handling somewhat better on the day than Colgan’s… |

His loan spell ended in late November, he was back in the Chelsea starting eleven in the New Year, so maybe it was never on the cards.
I remember reading in Alan Buckley's book that feelers were put if Chelsea had anyone they could loan us, probably expecting a young lad (we must have had some link there as Nick Colgan joined the year after on loan) and was surprised when Beasant was put forward.
Either way, we won 6 out of his 7 games here (other game was a draw with West Ham). After he went back we lost 4 on the spin and even that run of defeats came with Steve Sherwood back in goal.
i saw 2-3 of the games he played in and can only echo what has been said before. Far and away the best keeper i ever saw in a Town shirt. We were just so solid and confident under him, marshaled the back 4, v. vocal , and with his ability i never expected us to concede a goal. I wonder if he realises just how much we appreciated him (btw it was a damn good move for him as well - had had some howlers at Chelsea but went back a new man) |

To be fair to Oxley, he wasn't that bad at all. But very much a reflection of what was going on at the club at the time. Toxic environment with equally toxic senior 'professionals' at the club who needed to be shifted out.
Shifting them out costs money which meant limited funds to bring in experienced professionals. Oxley, who has gone onto have a fairly decent career since at the lower levels, has only just turned 32. The other loan 'keeper that year, Josh Lillis, was 22 when he signed. So 3 goalkeepers signed on loan during the season, with ages of 20, 22 and 22 when they signed.
Other signings (loan or permanent) that season under Woods:
Wes Fletcher (19)
Michael Coulson (21)
Ben Wright (yeah, me neither) (21)
Mark Hudson (29 and fresh from ripping it up in the Conf. North with Gainsborough Trinity)
Nicky Featherstone (21)
Damien McCrory (19)
Olly Lancashire (19)
Paris Cowan-Hall (19)
Tommy Wright (25)
Lee Peacock (33)
Ashley Chambers (19)
Dean Sinclair (25)
Jude Stirling (27)
Jamie Devitt (19)
Important to not forget that when Woods took over the side included Jamal Shahin, a lad we had decided against offering professional terms to following his time in the youth spell two years previous but was rescued from Sunday League. In fact there was a point where he looked one of our better players!
Just can't think why we went down that year...
Christ, that's a depressing read! |

Not sure if he'd ever played for the under 19s or similar, but by the time he came to us he was 3rd choice at a League 1 club, having never played a senior game. |

He remained there for another 4 years into his mid-twenties, by which time Southampton were back in the Premier League. Something not right there for a bloke who was clearly never going to be a professional footballer. |

From memory Southampton abandoned their sell on fee for Bale to sign Forecast from Southampton, so he was probably a 20m goalkeeper! |

We were always going down with Colgan as first choice. He’d been second and third choice for the majority of his career before suddenly becoming first choice with us. Somehow he conceded an alarming number of goals that seemed to loop in over his shoulder. |
