Really liked Crocombe but not without his faults, as expected at this level. Really dominant in his 6-yard-box (if reluctant to venture beyond) and always looked to be on the front foot with quick throws. Thought he was a bit too quick to resort to timewasting though & often gave the impression we were hanging which just invited more pressure (Bradford away classic example). Still, sure he’ll go on to do well somewhere else

Good goalkeepers don't grow on trees I tend to disagree https://www.odditycentral.com/news/colombian-soccer-field-has-two-living-trees-as-goalkeepers.html Rose is on fire And your scotch eggs are fu(king vile

It was pretty good during our promotion season (the odd blunder aside), but last year it went really wayward, for the last few months of the season especially. Did he get the yips or was he distracted by a planned move elsewhere? There have certainly been rumours and indications he would be on his way for the past few months at least. This season, with Pearson retired, the question is whether any of the outfielders are competent enough in goal, or will we actually stick a second keeper on the bench?

Decent keeper and did the shithousery well that we’ve been wanting for years . Agreed, nice to see us finally wake up and do some shithousery against the likes of Cheltenham style teams. Max played a massive part in Town's history as short as it was, good luck to the guy. When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Decent keeper and did the shithousery well that we’ve been wanting for years . I am as well but I’m sure PH will have someone lined up. Bit of a risk for Max though. His proneness to inexplicable bouts of cramp will get a lot of scrutiny from club medics.
