Some interesting memories there. I vaguely remember Tilly being good in goal when he was called upon!

Also for the Henriksen penalty save, I’m pretty sure he did the same thing as Royce bringing down an attacker as last man to concede a penalty, however Henriksen received a yellow card rather than a red! It probably should have been our two goalkeepers sent off in the same game, a highly unusual scenario that would have been.

I remember the game when Keith Mercer took over in goal. As I recall Keeley's shirt was little tight on him.
He also played a bit of a blinder.

@Richard Hearn I'm not surprised Barrel Chested Mercer verses Skinny Ribbed Keeley

Tes "The Cat" Bramble played the game of his life that night against Boston hence why it's still so fondly remembered to this day

I could have sworn we had a loanee keeper sent off on his RH debut , seems I was mistaken , must have gone off injured …maybe I am just getting old

You could be remembering the match at home to Salford on 27th Feb 2021. First choice keeper Mark Oxley was out with a groin injury and Mark Molesley signed Alex Bass on loan from Portsmouth to play against Salford. But Bass was injured late in the first half and was replaced at half time by 19-year-old Harry Seaden. Bass didn't play for Blues again.

For the next game at Cheltenham, Molesley signed James Montgomery on loan from Gateshead. This meant we had played 4 different goalkeepers in 3 games!

So from Flahavan in 2004 to Jeacock we had 20 years with only Oxley sent off. Could have sworn it was more than that. On Saturday I was thinking maybe Arnold got red for us?

Arnold was injured loads of times so we saw quite a few sub keepers (including Demi at Notts County) during his stint but I don’t think he was ever red carded for us.

Presumably when JD went in goal he was an injury replacement rather than a red card replacement then?

Arnold had to leave the field in the 77th with suspected concussion. With no substitute goalkeeper on the bench, Jason Demetriou took over in goal
