This season Hurst has not had a keeper on the bench. Monday night however, there's a possibility of a penalty shootout, so do you think Hurst might put a keeper on the bench as an insurance policy?

For what purpose? Hasn’t Pearson been a keeper before? I wouldn’t waste a sub on a player that won’t play…

Macca, great shot stopper.

Oh hang on.

I started to notice this after McKeowan was dropped - do other NL  teams do this?  At this level it looks like an expensive overhead....

I can see the  logic - what are the odds of the keeper being sent off/inured (*note to self - dont curse the Notts County game)

Would you be happy with an outfield player in goal in a penalty shootout? Is it worth the risk of not having a keeper on the bench when there is a possibility of a penalty shootout?

I get the point about not putting a keeper on the bench for league games, but for a playoff game and possible penalty shootout when the stakes are so high??

Hmmm.... its a good point.  I'm not sure there is a simple answer.  anyone have the stats on how often keepers are used?   surely it must be super-rare?

Another scenario, if Crocombe gets injured/sent off (it happens) does Hurst play young inexperienced Battersby (no offence to the lad) or McKeown who has bags of experience at our current level?

Fine margins.

Hurst didn't bother with a sub keeper the last 2 times we got to playoff finals, I don't expect he will do anything different now..

Has to be McKeown. Having seen Battersby play, I don’t think he is anywhere near ready for first team football.

Hat eating job if there's a sub keeper on Monday night.
