Willis

With George on loan to Trinity, who will be on the bench as our reserve goalkeeper?

No-one. Craig has been comfortable naming a bench full of only outfield players in the past so I assume this is his tactic going forward. Bit risky, but we've got away with it so far - although I'm forever wincing every time I see our GK launching himself at someone's feet...

Ainge can probably fill in.. he's excelled in both defence and attack at this level in his career already!

Willis has been recalled.

Worrying

[Pilgrim in France]

I think 7 substitutes are allowed on the bench for F.A. Cup matches rather than the 5 for league matches. If so, makes sense.

Richard (Chief Scout) told me he had been recalled as we obviously have a massive game Saturday and can have 7 subs on the bench, so made sense to have Willis on the bench incase of the unlikely event of Crook getting injured, makes sense to me. Richard also said he was unsure whether Willis would be going back to Gainsborough after.

[Pilgrim86]

If Willis was still on loan at Tinpot on Saturday, he wouldn't be able to be recalled in time for the replay. It's precautionary.

Could be also to keep Crook on his toes, and stop him from becoming complacent.
We have seen some errors from him and a couple of them have cost us goals.

I know it's early in the season, but Gainsborough seem to be in a bit of trouble.

until a couple of seasons ago, they had a club boast that they'd never been "relegated". I agree with you, if they don't sort themselves out, that's exactly what'll happen (again!). But never mind, again in their own words, "they're in it together" (the shit that is). If they keep going down, they'll eventually find a level they might win at?!?
