Absolutely, no question of his ability more his lack of experience if needed for a run of games. its catch 22 as only way he gets experience is by playing games so unless we loan him out and get another keeper in on loan i can't see how he gets that - thats a pitfall of not running a reserve team!hoppy wrote: ↑08 Nov 2023, 08:35Thanks.

The only problem with having a reserve keeper who is trusted as an in game sub is when he's not on the bench to start with. 18 league matches this season, only 5 times have we named him on the bench.jerroll wrote: ↑08 Nov 2023, 08:43Absolutely, no question of his ability more his lack of experience if needed for a run of games. its catch 22 as only way he gets experience is by playing games so unless we loan him out and get another keeper in on loan i can't see how he gets that - thats a pitfall of not running a reserve team!hoppy wrote: ↑08 Nov 2023, 08:35Thanks.

I can see your point about sending him out on loan but it would hardly be in any other club's interests to loan us a keeper to replace him.
As a matter of interest, do any of the other NL clubs run a reserve team?

Locally Aldershot, Bromley, Dorking, Oxford City, Maidstone, Wealdstone, Woking all do. Chesterfield as well.becbee wrote:The only problem with having a reserve keeper who is trusted as an in game sub is when he's not on the bench to start with. 18 league matches this season, only 5 times have we named him on the bench.jerroll wrote: ↑08 Nov 2023, 08:43Absolutely, no question of his ability more his lack of experience if needed for a run of games. its catch 22 as only way he gets experience is by playing games so unless we loan him out and get another keeper in on loan i can't see how he gets that - thats a pitfall of not running a reserve team!hoppy wrote: ↑08 Nov 2023, 08:35Thanks.

However these are mainly U23 teams and will have restrictions on over-age players
Re: Broadfields United (Hive) The Middlesex Courtney Match Thread
I looked on the Chesterfield O.S. before and could find no reference to a reserve side, only a Young Spirites team playing in the Youth Cup.

Brennan spoke about Gillmore's situation in his preseason Beespod interview. He said that, in an ideal world, we'd have 3 goalies and Gillmore would go out on loan to get experience. The problem will be finding a 'keeper who is both good enough to cover for Laurie if necessary and willing to sit on the bench.
