Well we do seem reliant on Allot. If he gets injured etc we don't seem to have any backup.

Am somewhat bemused by this signing. Thought we have ample forwards on the books for what's left of this season, thought our greater need would be a couple of decent centre backs and in my opinion a decent keeper. ( looking forward to next season)

We have a very decent keeper already.

He played a few pre-season games for Bradford and then the fans never saw him again. Apparently he looked decent and they were surprised when he didn't feature after pre-season.

Have to disagree pilgrim 86 . Cannot believe many of the better teams in this league would give Willis a starting place. We have been fortunate over the years to have been blessed with good keepers and he is nowhere near their level.

It's a new central defensive partnership that's really needed !

The revolving door keeps on turning! Did anyone exit this week?

Could not agree more, other than a couple of notable exceptions we've had some terrible goalkeepers since dropping out of the league, Dan Haystead being the low water mark.

I clicked on the club website this morning and it said he was 6'6". I clicked on the Standard's link this evening and he's now 6'5". He must be shrinking. By the time we get to the weekend he may no longer be a target man.

I presume you've missed all the games where he has made several fantastic saves.

I will grant you he has made some good saves but I have seen his errors too. His positioning is questionable at times, he very rarely come to collect a cross and gets beaten numerous times by shots outside the box.

Not in same class as Mal White, Gerry Stewart, Paul Bastock  Ravas  etc.

There’s a player called Tshimanga at Oxford, he’s scored 30 goals this season, might be worth a look.

Surely as a striker himself Craig would have seen enough in both Tshimanga & Thompson last season to give them a go this season? Yes Guiseley wanted a fee for Reece but in light of this shambles since pre season regarding the strikers CE has signed both of those would have been better options that the other numerous failures? Is anyone busily keeping count of attackers signed so far?
