It always amazes me that the FA don't use a bit of sense. Because a Goalkeeper is such a specialist position IMO a team should ALWAYS be allowed to have a substitute goalkeeper on standby OUTSIDE of the allowed substitutes and even allowed (in the event of injury) to be brought on even if the allowed number of substitutions have been made. Mind you I don't think the FA EVER use much common sense in any decisions it makes. There is no thought whatsoever for supporters.If there was they would look at the number of matches that are ruined by sending offs in the first half and realise that perhaps the present system is too harsh. People pay good money to watch a game of football and too many games are ruined as a spectacle by players being sent off.

Yeah, I've been saying for months that this would be the case. DC mentions that league clubs phone him and offer goalkeepers all the time (or words to that effect). I wonder if these league clubs keen for their young goalkeepers to get a game are so keen that they'd still paid the players wages. Harry Redknapp recently said QPR are happy to pay lower league clubs to play their players Having talked to people in the past I believe which ever party wants the loan to happen pays the majority of the wages.

Normally I would agree with you but you seem to be ignoring the fact that they have increased the number of players on the bench from 1 to 2 to 3 to 5 to 7 so even at 5 it's DCs choice (or fault if it goes wrong) to gamble on no goalkeeper not the bloody FAs

We had to pay Man City more for Alex Henshall when he did not play for us during his time with us. Not exactly reasonable from the worlds richest club.

He plays and scores then doesn't even make the bench. Mr Ward could get very personal when he wanted to. This is why I don't buy the fact of him putting up with the drinking. What a crazy situation that was

What a crazy situation that was I watched Alex Henshall at Yate Town and I agree with Ward's decision. He has potential, but my god, he wasn't good enough to be thrown into the first team. Quick, potentially skillful but so weak, terrible defensively. A boy, basically.

Same as at Everton for the player they had from Barcelona. If you're the parent club it seems an eminently sensible idea, why send out a player to kick his heels at another club when he could be doing that angway?

Gonna take half a season at least for this team to Gel. Gives DC a ready made excuse. Charlton signed about a dozen players pre season last year,but the gelled pretty quickly,okay they didnt set the world on fire but they were comfortably placed

In that case why did JW sign him and then start him at Accrington, where he scored and seemed to have a reasonable game, regardless surely he was better than Santos or Harrison for 30 or 15 min run out?

You think players should be given free reign to run around the pitch punching each other ? Surely you need to have disapline in a match. Personally I think refs and the fa are far to soft and if they started dishing out a few more red cards they would solve a lot of problems we have in the modern game .

No I don't think that but too many games are totally ruined by having players sent off early on and you pay good money to watch a game of football. I just believe the FA should be looking at the number of games that have players sent off and looking to reduce them.IMO a way to do this would be to allow a referee some discretion. i agree where a punch is thrown that should be a straight sending off but a lot of the sending offs are ridiculous and IMO could be dealt with by the referee allowing the team to substitute the player but the player involved would still be suspended and fined. In that way the paying public still see a good game of football

Its for players to behave themselves and play within the laws

The Striker we were originally after is now dead in the water.
However this morning Duncan Culley has emerged as a player we are interested in. 6ft, 11 goals in pre season, 39 goals last season...step forward big Dunc!
Trotman also in line to get a deal. Even if Turley signs.

Sounds like Ryan Higgins may have dropped off our radar. A shame if this is the case as he looked very competent in the right wing back role - wish him luck wherever he ends up.
