Just what was Hurst playing at setting up a squad with two goalkeepers who at the start of the season hadn't made 50 appearances in the EFL between them?! The whole squad he put together was severely lacking in EFL experience but that's just ridiculous.


You might just want to look at how much/little EFL experience Max Crocombe had at the start of this season...

Also Aidan Davison hadn't played much in his career when AB brought him in.  Maybe keepers are a bit different...

Both of them fill me with fear  , Eastwood looks like he’s totally out of his depth and Cartwright looks better but not much better.

We must be the worst off for goalkeepers than any team in league

Bit surprised we never got or went for a new goalie in January (assuming we never) and either sent Cartwright back or paid Eastwood off. I do think Cartwright will be ok, and Eastwood perhaps wouldn't have cost much to pay off ?

I’m too young to comment on the Aidan Davison one. But Crocombe had just been number one and really impressive in a side that got promoted from the NL. Eastwood has had one season where he was number one anywhere and they got relegated whilst he was roundly considered by their fans to be crap. If you were given those situations but didn’t know either player, you’d take the one who was well thought of at a promotion winning team every day.

I’m actually slightly surprised Hull didn’t recall Cartwright (as Man Yoo did Henderson after they felt he wasn’t being properly looked after). Sure, he’s getting minutes under his belt for the first time in his career, but goalkeeping is a a hugely psychological craft, and picking the ball out of the net 5 or 6 times on a routine basis can’t be doing the kid’s development much good.

I think Cartwright has shown he’s got enough in his locker to have a decent career in the game - he’s still only 21 and this is his first season playing regular, men’s football. But there’s certainly a question as to whether, at this moment in time, we’re a good fit for one another.

Yes he’s a Gen Z after all. Who wants a job where there is  a lot of work to do?

I reckon a recall would really help us as we could get an emergency loan in.

I'm not entirely sure that is right, I assume Eastwood would qualify as a recognised keeper? So I don't see how we would qualify for an emergency loan unless he got injured!

Poor decision not to get another keeper in , obviously it’s not all the the keepers fault but by god we could have done with a old head between the sticks for the remainder of the season
