Nobody whatever position they play have a divine right to play every game.

Our home form is still very good but our away results  are terrible lately even with our great support at each game.

It will not not hurt Macca having a few games out the team and we will find who is the better keeper.

If it's Macca then bring him back into the team if not then Paul has done the right thing in giving the other guy a chance.

Lots of chat about whether Crocombe is good enough, but let's not forget we've also got a GK coach who can probably still do a job.

Watching that second goal from Tuesday back, it's even worse than I remembered on the night. It's probably cost us points that. As well as the Notts goal, he dropped an absolute clanger vs Torquay too, but thankfully that was back when we could score goals. People are right to point out that there are big problems up top, but that's precisely why Macca needs dropping as the defence needs sorting out. We need to be able to rely on clean sheets during these kind of lean spells.

I think last seasons mini run with Sam Russell proved pretty definitively that his playing days are gone.

Its Crocombre or Macca for me and if the former is not up to it  then we might as well not have bothered signing a back up as we never carry one on the bench anyway. We could have gone down an emergency loan route if necessary. If Macca's form drops then Hurst should give him a run otherwise he's a complete waste of a wage.

Unless Crocombe proves, irrespective of Macca's form, to be a better keeper of course but then we might never find out

Obviously Hurst knows who is the better keeper so it's upto him to decide

Yes but I don't think anyone's disputing that!

Quoted from Kris2
Ah so now Hurst has a new striker in people are moving on to something else to blame on the recent bad form. Now it's "The problem is Hurst not playing our other keeper!" instead of "Hurst won't sign another striker!"  .

We scored 2 goals in the last 6 games, in 4 of 6 games the margin lost was by 1 goal, but the problem is the goalkeeper....This forum is delusional tbh and obsessed with getting rid of people for the buzz of seeing somebody new.

What really needs to happen is players need to find the motivation and flow they had previously and remember how to score goals. It started with Yeovil, the players looked uninterested but we scraped by against a poor team that was easy pickings, same with Southend but everyone else beat us and nobody looked like they really cared. Maybe they hate playing in the cold? Maybe their mind is on other things like Christmas and not focused on winning games for GTFC? They better figure it out soon and start playing like we know they can, changing the keeper to make you lot happy because it's a new face won't be enough to change things if we can't score any flipping goals ourselves.


Really? I think you could be in for a surprise come the end of the season.

Having watched the highlights there’s so many obvious errors by a number of players for both their goals. No problem with constructive criticism of Macca but it seems to be a personal vendetta with some town fans and I’m not sure why. Lots of managers have had him as 1st choice for a reason.

Yes, but then people like Pearson, Clifton, Crookes, Hunt, McAtee etc. have all spent time on the bench this season and people can suggest dropping or resting them without anyone completely losing their minds. Not the case with McKeown.

Happy for you to direct me to a thread calling for any of the above to be dropped. Some of them have been rested which Macca shouldn’t need. I just feel there’s some waiting for him to make a mistake so they can trot out their lazy analysis about not commanding his area. For hidden agendas and lazy analysis see also Paul Hurst and Plan B
