I take the point that Cartwright has not been directly responsible for most of the goals, but I think a relegation battle in league 2 is not fair to a young keeper still learning his trade.

If possible I think we should sign an experienced keeper who can help marshal  the defence with a voice that can be heard at the back of the stands.

Easier said than done of course but why on earth did we sign Eastwood again when he has never impressed anywhere and now restricts us somewhat.

Think you are confusing this with the foxes and hens?


What does Leicester City have to do with this?

Eastwood was a shocking signing and young Cartwright is at the start of his career and not what we need right now. Bring in an experience keeper ,someone who’s not afraid to give a round of fooks to his defenders from day 1.

I'm a little confused here. What exactly has Cartwright done wrong? I can only think of one or two of the 13 goals we've conceded in 2024 where he might have done a bit better and there was also masses of shite defending in the run up to those, so it's hardly his fault entirely.

It seems a few posters have been talking him down, but he's looked fine to me since he came into the team. I'd certainly trust him more than Eastwood who looks like he's going to crap a brick every time he's got the ball at his feet.


Not read a single word have you ????

Eh? You're saying you think Cartwright should be sent back and replaced with some unspecified more experienced keeper on the off-chance he can organise the defence a bit better. The idea that keepers organise defences rather than just shouting at them when they make a member-up is a fanciful one. What would Cartwright have shouted at Glennon on Saturday? "Don't let the winger get in behind you and don't lose aerial challenges"? No defender needs to be told that.

I don't think we can afford to gamble too much unless Eastwood goes. Fortunately for us, Cartwright is keeping Eastwood out of the team. Unless there is a proven experienced keeper at this level ready to go, it could be a risk.

I am a bit surprised that we've not signed Ben Garratt. Played over 250 times in the FL with slightly more than half of those appearances in L1 than in L2. Been a free agent since the summer and although he wouldn't be match fit, you'd have to think he's certainly a better option than Eastwood plus has worked with Artell before.
