I see our ex keeper is playing for New Zealand
Tonight against Ireland
He started with Town as an understudy but flourished to be our No 1
I don’t think our replacement is a match for him
Although our Hull loanee  Harvey Cartwright has performed well since his spell since he’s been 1st choice

Never understood why Hurst didn’t fight harder to keep him.  Fair enough if he’d had a sure fire replacement lined up but he didnt.

Good luck to the lad. This time two years ago he’d still not even made his league debut for us. It’s been a remarkable period in what he been a pretty unremarkable career up to that point.

Cracking stadium the Aviva, for the most part anyway. Like a green Emirates on three sides then a green Glanford Park for the other, but a nice ground all the same.


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

Weird old place the fishy, iirc most of last year all that was said about Crocombe was that we could do better and moaning that his goal kicks landed in the main stand and not on pitch.  You don't know what you've got till it's gone...

Back end of last season he definitely dropped off in a number of areas of his game. The change has done him some good. It looks a poor decision for us because we haven’t properly replaced him up to press although the signs are encouraging. Doesn’t mean it wasn’t right for MC to go when he did.


Batch, Crombie, Moore K, Wiggington, Cumming, Waters, Bonnyman, Ford, Emson, Drinkell, Whymark. Love you all, You are the reason I'm on here. You've had help from Todd, Handyside, Futcher P, Groves, Mendonca, Macca etc etc etc. Up The Mariners!!!!!!!!!

True, but Hurst felt the same so it's not just the Fishy.

The weird thing with Crocombe is that his kicking started off pretty good, but deteriorated as the end of the season approached. All that cramp must have caused an injury to him.

Said at the time Crocombe's confidence in his kicking fell as the BP pitch deteriorated last season. Still think that's true..

Best keeper we've had for years..

I get a feeling Eastwood was lined up already
