I’ve just heard Cox’s latest interview in which he said that we are looking at signing 2 more experienced players. Ideally we needed 3 but 2’s better than nothing.
I also think it’s ludicrous waiting for a player who’s held together with cellotape but there you go. I didn’t sign him and make him captain, did I ?
Ideally we need a RB as well but a GK and CM would go a long way to helping us out. McGahey is due back in a weeks time and I’ll be crossing everything in the hope Clarke not only get’s fit but stays fit for a good while !
Yeah a lot of Lincoln fans were sad to see him go, I think he was released like we released our out of contract players to trim the wage bill due to the uncertainty of lockdown and the season ending. So money might be an issue and he had a few injuries (one of them was when Gilks went there) but if he came on a short term pay as you play deal it could work. Apparently he’s be training with Rotherham but nothing seems to have come of that
If we were waiting for an answer on Friday and the player/agent still hasn’t decided then I’d make up their mind for them.
Has Saturdays performance changed our thinking about what we need?
A bit naughty perhaps, after all I find keepers do need a few games to show their best form but equally I can’t think of many keepers who’ve had a worse debut for the Iron.
I didn’t watch the game, so offer no view of my own, but didn’t Howard make some excellent saves alongside that calamitous error?
He hasn’t played since January, so is bound to be a bit rusty. It’s too early to make a judgement. What’s Rory’s excuse for making such calamities when playing consistently?
The fact that we’ve had to bring in a goalkeeper who hasn’t played in months is a damning indictment of our transfer policy.
Yep Humberside reckoned the new keeper prevented another five goal or worse mauling and despite the error looked a good player. All players make errors, did anyone see the Codheads keeper make a complete howler on Saturday? and he’s been with them a long long time. Mind you it was funny to watch, any Codhead blunder is funny to watch.

I think Marples was sent off after an hour of his debut CT. V Burnley (?) and it was probably Dave Hill who took over between the sticks for the rest of game but MM may correct me.
Stuart is right I think with the details, certainly against Burnley on a lunch time kick off, I thought if Marple deserved to go their player should have gone as well, he used to be a good keeper for York City.
He also played cricket for Derbyshire as a wicketkeeper playing a number of County Championship games.
I seem to think it was an 11am KO which also had on a couple of occasions that season. Marples always seemed to play well against us when at York so I thought he’d be a good signing….didn’t pan out that way.
