Transfer News and Gossip Hillson Departs

[Smiffy]

Strange one from start to finish really. Can’t blame him for leaving. Leaves us even lighter.

[Harry Bullocks]

No surprise really

 

[Uncle_Rons_Teapot]

Great stuck with Calamity Colin then

 

[thenobster]

It’s ok, we got jd

 

[defender05]

I would like to think this means we have a replacement lined up to come in and challenge for the no1 spot.

 

[palexander]

Announce Justham!

 

[Callumturner22]

Announce Justham!

Surprised he not joined by now tbh

 

[bigmolt]

Oh are we going into the sandwich business?

 

[Shrimper]

Whose our youth GK?

 

[Holy Joe]

So he's dropped a division - maybe why Kev didn't stick him in goal ahead of Collin

Salisbury return for highly rated goalkeeper

Salisbury are delighted to announce the signing of highly-rated goalkeeper James Hillson from Southend United. Hillson, 23, spent time at the Ray Mac on loan with the Whites during the 2018/19 season while at Reading. The stopper then spent time with Arsenal's Under 18 and 23 squads...

Pointless.

Brown is a very very good young keeper, but currently would struggle even at Step 5 due to his physicality. Too young to be called upon if needed so a worry that we don't have a senior keeper at the club, hopefully Hillson leaving is a sign that a new keeper is on the horizon

But in Colin I trust!

He's our number 1 and I've said it before, time and time again, a keeper is only as good as his defence. And that's not just an old saying, it's true. The back four has been disrupted this season and this has a knock of effect with a keeper. It effects when they should come and go it effects their starting positioning. Honestly, unless you've played in goal, you will have no idea.

Sort the back four out and we will see the old Colin back

Back three!

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

No surprise. This was always temporary cover (hence being non-contract) and he’d have been cuptied if he played today.

 

[Chairman Trigg]

Pickford incoming!

 

[Shrimper83]

Announce Justham!

A keeper we could trust at this level

 

[BlueBore]

Pickford incoming!

Surely he's an outfield player?

 

[Sufc.2008]

Desperately need another keeper. A keeper like Collin needs competition to keep him on his toes. Unfortunately without having much in the way of competition coupled with losing Dave Martin (and replacing with a coach I’m currently watching struggling to kick straight) can probably be attributed to Collins lack of form.

His parent club probably thought that if he doesn't get selected with our usual keeper's form he might as well go back home.
