Can't have Sowden on the bench in L1. What if Jamal goes down in the second minute

Name Scott Brown and hope he's not needed, or sign a NC keeper who for some reason is good enough to play a L1 match but doesnt have a club, or recall Harry Lee which wont do his development any good

You can see why we needed to be strong over keeping SB

How can you not class Lee as a professional Gk , when he’s signed a pofessional deal , just dosnt make sense that 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️
Ha! EFL rules often don't align with the ordinary meaning of words! For Tuesday the rules said we had to play our 'full available strength'. But the weakened team we put out still managed to (more than) comply...

If Scott leaves we'll need a GK coach and someone to stand in net when the outfield players are practising their shooting pre match. Shooting into an empty goal looks a bit tinpot

Eh ? We have the keeper and substitute keeper to practice their saves from the players shooting ! Why on earth do we need someone else too ? :unsure:

Last few home games there has been no keeper present at home games to go in goal when the players are warming up. Blackman prefers a long warm up so Brown's time is taken up doing that. Just looks a bit unprofessional players rolling a ball into an empty net

I remember back in the early 90s when I'd watch Everton's London games, you'd often see Neville Southall take shots at Peter Beardsley in goal (he was bloody good too). Maybe we can find an outfield player willing to do this - which could have aided us on Tuesday night should Blackman have gone off when he pulled up about 10 minutes from time... ;)

Volunteers from the Big Bank for warm up keeper for the strikers pre match?

GK coaching is a specialist area. Just like an outfield player, they won't improve just by practicing.

100% MT is in for Scott Brown in Januay. Listen to the end of his interview here…
Yep, that's how I interpreted it.
