Quoted from Maringer
Eastwood looks like a rabbit in the headlights, very skittish when the ball is coming to him. He's probably one of those players who is very capable in training, but struggles in the heat of battle, in front of a crowd. I've got no confidence in him whatsoever.

I think Cartwright looks as though he will develop into a good keeper, but he's still very young and inexperienced. Not ideal in a relegation battle.


Aye, the lack of fans during the covid relegation season was probably a factor in Eastwood appearing pretty capable at this level. He looks a very shaky keeper confidence wise, which of course is even more critical for keepers than other players.

Eastwood needed to be taken out of it. Needed some time, like Cartwright did at first. If Cartwright needs that break, maybe Eastwood is ready and in a better place to step in.

This would be form dependent and whether Cartwright's form over many games has dropped. One game conceding lots won't give a full picture. I don't mind, either way. I'd leave it up to the manager and the information he gets from the GK coach to make that call.

Does anybody expect to see Eastwood get selected over Cartwright?
Neither fill me with confidence but Eastwood with his extra experience should be challenging better for a start.


No
The lad is getting hammered because of our lack of any type of defensive abilities.
Keep Harvey in to the end of the season when no doubt will go back to Hull.
Eastwood as a number 2 then get rid.


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Quoted from Poojah
Eastwood has played 50 games in the EFL, to Cartwright’s 27. There’s no meaningful gulf between them in terms of game time - they’re both inexperienced. Which does rather paint the picture of a very risky strategy in the summer.


Just what was Hurst playing at setting up a squad with two goalkeepers who at the start of the season hadn't made 50 appearances in the EFL between them?! The whole squad he put together was severely lacking in EFL experience but that's just ridiculous.

I honestly think Cartwright will be a really good goalkeeper , it's just the wrong situation at the wrong time for me .

I can't understand the thinking behind the decision to let a senior keeper go without a senior replacement . It was strange , as Hurst always had his number 1 and a kid or no keeper on the bench .

He sort of went half and half on a promising kid and someone who had been throwing the ball (literally) in his net for Rochdale the previous season . Just bizarre .

Quoted from Nelly GTFC
What was the feeling like when Eastwood was on loan here around this time in 2021?


I thought he was an improvement on the badly out of form McKeown. Big blow when he got injured that season, although McKeown came back improved for the rest.

Thought he started well this season but his confidence looks fragile, one error and he went to bits.

Surprised we've not seen Ben Garrett come in, or another experienced 'keeper. Nothing against Eastwood or indeed Cartwright, who will go onto have a fine career. This isn't the time for someone to learn their craft though. We need a Wayne Henderson as opposed to a Dean Henderson.

Edit: Just seen Garratt signed for Nantwich Town at Tier 8 of the pyramid. Local for him but with his pedigree that's a bit of a coup for them. https://www.nantwichtownfc.co.uk/dabbers-sign-former-crewe-goalkeeper-ben-garratt/
