"Time for a change between the sticks?".

New Owners , new season same old moaning about JM . Just support the team and stop publishing  crap about him on here . It's counter productive . He certainly isn't the problem at the moment .

What if Crocombe is simply a better goalkeeper?

We don't know of course as Hurst doesn't play him but surely being the 500 appearances goalkeeper who currently holds the jersey shouldn't be a passport to never stepping aside.

Crocombe could be be a far better keeper who should replace Macca permanently not just when Macca makes a few mistakes.

Quoted from IlkleyMariner

Think I’ve noticed an absence of goals at the other end which is the real problem….

One clean sheet in 6 not a problem?

A few draws in that run and suddenly it’s not as bad as what we’re currently looking at. At fault, at least partly, for game changers against Solihull and Notts County, he’s turning draws into losses. We can’t afford it.

Ah so now Hurst has a new striker in people are moving on to something else to blame on the recent bad form. Now it's "The problem is Hurst not playing our other keeper!" instead of "Hurst won't sign another striker!"  .

We scored 2 goals in the last 6 games, in 4 of 6 games the margin lost was by 1 goal, but the problem is the goalkeeper....This forum is delusional tbh and obsessed with getting rid of people for the buzz of seeing somebody new.

What really needs to happen is players need to find the motivation and flow they had previously and remember how to score goals. It started with Yeovil, the players looked uninterested but we scraped by against a poor team that was easy pickings, same with Southend but everyone else beat us and nobody looked like they really cared. Maybe they hate playing in the cold? Maybe their mind is on other things like Christmas and not focused on winning games for GTFC? They better figure it out soon and start playing like we know they can, changing the keeper to make you lot happy because it's a new face won't be enough to change things if we can't score any flipping goals ourselves.

See, absolutely impossible to have any meaningful discussion about the keeper on here.

Can anyone really watch that second goal (5:50) and say there’s a League 2 keeper in there?

Its obviously a combination of factors but teams know our keeper wont come for crosses so try to whip as many in as they can and a change in goal would benefit us I think.

I am just hoping something weird hasn't gone on to disrupt the squad but we played well against Notts and not too shabbily against Southend so let's hope we snap out of it quickly and become more competitive.

cmon mate everyone makes mistakes, i do think Macca is good enough to be a League 2 keeper, hence why he has been.

that said, as i mentioned previously in this thread, i do feel Crocombe should be given a chance

Did you watch their 2nd goal? That's absolutely atrocious from him.

Not remotely true, here's what I posted in the match thread immediately after watching it go in:

Quoted from Chrisblor

Absolutely urine weak goal to concede. Useless from Clifton and utterly abject from McKeown

And Clifton has been one of our better performers this season, so obviously there'll be less calls to drop him after a single poor performance. Everyone's consternation with McKeown stems from his repeated poor performances and ongoing inability to command his area.
