I agree that Crocombe deserves his chance.

I would have liked to have seen Macca work on improving his weaker areas over the last 500 games.  I see little or no progress here in his development.


He clearly doesn't read the game well enough to command his area in that way. And if he did, then he wouldn't be here.

He's not as good as some make out when he's on a string of good performances and he's not as bad as some make out when things aren't going well. He's a good NL keeper and just about L2 level

I'm no expert on goal keeping and I like Macca a lot but he looks well off it and if he was an outfield player he'd be dropped which I think needs to be the case now..

Leave the guy alone - he is still one of the best goalkeepers in this division. Tell me a keeper in the Premier who doesn't have faults never mind Division 5.

That’s the thing for me, he seems to have gone backwards over the past couple of years to the point where I think he’s a liability and consistently one of the worst performers in the team.

His best form was under Andy Warrington, and he’s really not progressed at all since he left. On current form, he’s a lower-half conference keeper.

I used to be a big, big fan of his but his form, and attitude at times, in the past couple of seasons has really put me off him. If Crocombe isn’t getting a game now, you might as well pay him up and let him go.

What gets me is he cango after a young player that makes a mistake and give him a bollocking , but he makes mistakes and thinks its ok and just carries on and lets face it he has done a few howlers in his time . Just because he has played over 500 games should not make him untouchable

Agree. Poor as Revan was at Aldershot, it wasn’t McKeown’s divine right to bawl him out. He’s not captain and it was very unprofessional.

It’s this attitude why the club never seems to move on , he’s a level 5 keeper whose in poor form. if a keeper can’t command his area especially the 6 yard box he will never be a good keeper a keeper that gives confidence to his defenders is crucial he doesn’t

Think I’ve noticed an absence of goals at the other end which is the real problem….
