USED to be a quality keeper. The fact he retired through injury and hasn't played for 3 years is a minor worry though 😉
Agreed, if we we're a proper football team, but we are not. This is our 53rd player, almost five full teams, in one season. If we were in a relegatin fight or going for a promotion I'd be worried, but we're not. We're down and have been in months so a keeper with no games in three years and an injury causes me no additional worries.

Not sure all this matters bearing in mind where we are. He's an experienced keeper if probably a bit rusty but he's a grown man who will have a physical presence and shouldn't be overawd. You can easily destroy kids by playing them when not ready and the GK position is certainly not for a kid in a physical league. Let's just see how it goes.

Andrew Jones isn't a kid,he's in his mid twenties. If he's not good enough he shouldn't be here but he's a Rowley family member and they look after their own.

Couldn't make it up could you, he's a Rowley family member?

But he is a reasonable keeper with 200 + nwcl appearances so for a cheap option on the bench and filling in here and there he's entirely suitable. Think we'd be better of with him and saving our money for next year to be honest

We don't need three keepers - if Tomlinson is fit, able and willing then he is in the pot for two keepers berths next time, with Deasy and Andrew Jones. One has to go.

Agreed we don't need 3 keepers. But AJ is reserve team goalie I believe. So Tomlinson for No1/2 spot perhaps?

If Tomlinson is serious about getting back in to football then he can do much better than the Northern Premier League. He's with us so he can test the water and find his feet again, in my opinion.

A win win situation if we can extend that to next season. Where possible we need to lose as many players with the losing habit as is possible on the proviso they are replaced by better players. If Tomlinson is genuinely willing and able then he probably gets one of my two berths for next season.

Sorry, but I'd release Deasy in May. His fitness is too suspect for us to gamble on him.
