It’s a risk, but a very small risk and well worth risking with our loans. Keepers basically never get injured during a game and come off, so the youth of the guy on the bench doesn’t really matter. Even if there was an injury and the keeper came off (can’t remember when that last happened to us) we may have by that point in the game already used our subs, so a player would go in goal at that point. That’s happened relatively often by comparison, so having an experienced keeper on the bench is not a save-all option. Then if Jones got injured between games, we could get an emergency loan who would like Joe Lumley the other year, be perfectly good for several weeks.

Really struggle sometimes with our fans. For the last few seasons there has been a call for our players to play in place of a loan player. Now it’s happened all of a sudden it’s wrong
Gillingham are just above us in the league table AGENT Dahlberg will do a sterling job
We're talking like it matters whose in net right now! Might as well have me in there. Let Jones stake his place for been number 1 next season he's not that far away really and he'll get plenty of practise with us till end of season. Next season i'd like us to have a experienced number 2 keeper to push Jones the whole loan keepers a no from me

We need a decent keeper.
