Glad it’s been sorted relatively early in the window, gives a new keeper a chance to settle in rather than coming in a week before the start of the season (hopefully). 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 luck to the guy.  I think it could be hard to replace him with somebody better. Good goalkeepers don't grow on trees


I tend to disagree

I do wonder what happened to Crocombe's kicking last season. 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?

Do Town now look at 2 similar standard competing keepers, or go for an established No1 and have a more junior reserve in place?

Thoughts?

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?”

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.

All i have to say is thanks and good luck.

Part of that incredible end to our time in non league, so will always be a key player in our story.
