is there still time for GJ to sign a goalkeeper?

Just seen the highlights - Brown hasnt improved on handling crosses

Harsh but fair you can see why Wycombe don't fancy him but I'm still happy to have him back despite two shakey games.

Think you are being a tad loyal there Robin. We haven't missed Scotty for a reason. That reason being he is weak in important aspects o his game. Should not have gon back

....Based on their last two performances Callum Kitscha should be seriously considered for the next match.

two out of two though, I doubt if Shane Higgs had two shaky games a season, Brown is and was always a shot stopper but not an all round keeper. a mistake to have him back, should have gone for a Phillips/Flatt/Griffiths

I think some people remember people too fondly. Whilst Higgsy was a great keeper and had a couple of outstanding seasons, he was also found rooted to his line or flapping at crosses.

When you are winning matches, you notice less and when you are losing you notice more. It is a trait of most League 2 keepers I am afraid. Great shot stoppers but will be lacking in other areas. If he was a solid 8/10 in all key areas, he would not be in league 2.

Think Callum deserves a chance now, Scotty not to hotty atm. Thought he was poor on Saturday with his decision making.

Higgs was never one for commanding his area but I don't recall him having any problems holding crosses. Definitely better than your average L2 keeper.

Didn't have the best game of his life but I still don't think he was the worst on the weekend. Its weird because I thought Manny played poor (awful distrubution being the main takeaway from that) yet some thought he was MOTM for cheltenham. It's a weird game how we can all see it differently. Scotty never was the best from corners and its a shame to see that area hasn't improved but he made a fantastic save i thought when the Plymouth player was running clean through (not sure what minute). If anyone needs to be brought in in this window I'll take a LB please! No doubt cranston will be back in the starting 11 making mistakes shortly despite the team working well on saturday
