Battersby has signed, and that’s from the horses mouth himself. He actually was offered a new deal quite a while before the season ended.

Battersby has signed and just not been announced for some reason.
Regarding Scannell, I cant see him not accepting or might have to go a few months without being paid while his injury recovers

I too thought Battersby had signed.

I was a little surprised he was offered a deal. Clearly Hurst rates him but I don't think I've seen him play.

I don't think he will be ready to challenge Crocombe just yet having so little experience. With 7 subs no doubt we will have a GK on the bench

But for me warming the bench is not what he needs. He needs games. A loan would seem the sensible idea and bring in another experienced  goalie on a short term deal who can push Crocombe.

Talking of goalkeepers, has anyone heard any rumours/whispers where James McKeown will end up next season?

Talking of goalkeepers, did the club actually announce Russell leaving? Don't think i saw it anywhere apart from on his personal twitter.

pretty sure he's off to Boston

I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised to see a keeper of equal calibre to Max come in. He wants competition in every position ,so why shouldn't that apply to the keeper?

What's the emergency loan ruling for keepers now though. You would think a keeper of equal ability to Max would want to be playing regularly, so would it not make sense to have a young keeper on the bench, then if something did happen to Max, to get a similarly experienced keeper in on loan.

I doubt we'd be allowed an emergency loan keeper if Battersby was available.

This sentence has had me absolutely gobsmacked. How is it surprising that the manager of a player who sees him training day in day out and watches him in training and practice games offers him a contract even though some random poster doesn't think he's seen him play?
