Maybe GH has an arrangement with GB at Wigan to get a junior if needed if Stu is out for a while.

You can't expect someone as good as Saunders to stay a No2 keeper for too long.

I doubt we'll start the season with one GK.

The reserve keeper situation at Alty is a difficult one.  Stuart still has at least one or two very good seasons in him so is always likely to be be first choice.

Therefore as we have no reserve team, we have to find a keeper who wants to travel the country, warm up and play no games (unless Stu is injured).  He could go a long time without playing a match.

I was never confident with Saunders in nets I am afraid..however I respect him for sticking with us and not playing.  

My worry is that he was the best we were going to get given the circumstances above.

So we need Peter "Baywatch" Stanier!   :D

Unless he's actually going to get a game, in which case we definitely do not need Peter Stanier!

Delighted he joined.

I think we are now complete with a reserve keeper to come.

Welcome to the club Danny, although I didn't see much of him. Sad to see Russell go, a really nice guy and I wish him all the best for his future career

Welcome Danny. He looked useful in midfield but didnt see him play in defence playing as centre half I assume, seems he did OK then. Sad to see Russell go, I agree with Mark but you cant deny his loyalty and it will be very hard to find a loyal deputy,....I wonder what G&K have in mind?..sure we will know soon ;)

I thought Holmes was really good as right centre back, will be interesting to see the line up for luton now.
