MelvinBragg Posted Friday at 07:15 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 07:15 AM Happy enough with the squad we have. Slight concern that we're an injury to Paulsen or Connelly away from a very inexperienced goalkeeper as backup. Last season we had Oxborough available to recall. I imagine we have a list of free agent goalkeepers in a drawer somewhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Lee Hollis has been employed by anyone after us….. come to think of it I don’t think he was employed by anyone before us. I’m sure he’ll be available fits the criteria, small and looks like a full back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not ideal but at least it does not tie us to the transfer window. So no doubt we have someone in mind should that need arise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye i noticed that as well, which concerns me if hes not actually been released. Maybe its part of the deal or probably more likely that the club and the players agents etc are still w orking out the details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen him about? At least I don't think he's been one of our physios on the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third choice, signed a 1 year deal in the Summer. He'd certainly do as emergency cover (imo) if it came to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played in a few league cup games the first season he joined them, but nothing since. He'll be getting paid handsomely to work with the other keepers, and is obviously happy with what he's doing there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The African Posted Friday at 11:52 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 11:52 PM Mark Gillespe has benefitted greatly from the fact that he is a product of the Newcastle United youth academy. As such, his presence in their squad ticks an important box regarding clubs' youth development even if he is unlikely to ever get a first team game. If they see value in having him around then you cannot blame him for picking up ten grand a week (speculation) for turning up for training. He was a very decent player for us so good luck to the guy.
