Crocombe Gone

Quoted from headingly_mariner

Really surprised at some of the comments on here. Think he's an excellent goalkeeper at this level, wouldn't be surprised to see him go higher. No surprise Notts are sniffing.

Best of luck to him.

Hmmmm kind of agree.
Early in the season I thought we would have no chance of keeping him as he was looking that good.
Certainly tailed off though and his distribution was dire. Ironically that seemed to be one of his strong points earlier on.
I think he did parry too many shots into dangerous positions in the box, can remember quite a few goals scored on the rebound. Definitely one of his weaknesses but overall I think he was a decent league 2 keeper.
Agree about him commanding the box, not an easy thing to do and shouldn't be overlooked.

Good luck to him.

Good luck to the guy.  I think it could be hard to replace him with somebody better. Good goalkeepers don't grow on trees

All the best max , he did a job for us and we did a job for him.

He has great potential if he can tweak certain parts of his game he cam play higher up definitely.

No bad words from me and nothing but the best to max, all focus on an equivalent replacement or better now.

Is that why Pickford’s got short arms?

Unsure at first but grew into everything Macca wasn't, commanded his area, crosses and his quick release flat kicking was superb.
This season it was almost as if he regressed slightly from last seasons form and confidence.
Sad to see him go overall as last season in particular looked a very decent all round keeper.

Couple of things to remember about max a) he hadnt been involved with NZ for about 5 years , but as pooja said the deal has been good for him n us, as witnessed by his call up b) he started at buckingham n oxford city, so the lads earnt his stripes, n if county are offering from a few hundred quid a week more, or a longer contract, then I dont begrudge him going c) you've got to remember max has never played so many games, so consistently,  over such a long period, at such a high level.his relative downturn since xmas should be put down to mental n physical tiredness
As several have said, sorry to see him go, hope he does well  but hes not irreplaceable

Quoted from Southwark Mariner

So we need two keepers, really

I think we will run with what they call a 'Fake No2' because, as this FourFourTwo article discusses, we don't put a keeper on the bench anyway and can exploit the emergency loan market.

Didn't have anyone to flat kick it to most of the time this season tbf.
