Ollie Crankshaw..moments of brilliance...but probably best draw a line under this economilly disastrous signing



For those Alty supporters of a certain vintage, there's a tragic whiff of Martin Hanchard about the whole Ollie Crankshaw signing.

See slso Brendan Burke.

So, one thing to note from the club's announcement of Ansen's arrival, is that he clearly isn't being seen as long-term stand-in for Ethan, more a short term emergency measure.

Quote
"We are grateful to Norwich and Caleb for consenting to a loan move which means that, while plans are formulated, we can make use of a highly-rated young keeper."

I agree on the presence point and his shot stopping ability is self-evident (interestingly those are the two things he cites as his strengths in one interview I watched) but the weaknesses I saw in the PSV U21 game in December were the same ones we saw last night. I don't think he's ready for first team football yet. Maybe he's a quick learner and those edges will be knocked off in a few games' time.

The trouble is we don't have that time to bed someone in - we need a goalkeeper who's the finished article already.



Spot on.

There's simply still too much at stake this season to be relying on a relative tyro.

On an Alty FC trivia point, Caleb Ansen is our first black goalkeeper since the rather diminutive Jerome John back in the 1995/96 season.

Well. We are trousering some decent wonga from this competition at least. Believe that?s another 15k whether we win or lose in the next round. Far more than the FA put into the Trophy pot. Our midweeks between now & the end of the season look increasingly hectic.

Seems guaranteed to be Newcastle given the format of the draw - much more interesting playing Prem U21's than other teams at this level I suppose.

My guess is that the game will have to be played pretty quickly - I think the QF's were scheduled to have already been played, but I'm guessing postponements have pushed it back.

Assuming it's played fairly soonish, I'm sure it'll continue to be useful to give players minutes - Eddy Jones, Jake Cooper, Kian Taylor, Regan Griffiths, Justin Amaluzor, Ollie Crankshaw, Jake Bickerstaff, plus possibly get one game of Matty Kosylo's suspension out of the way too.

Kacper Pasiek was on Preston's bench last night, so I assume that means he's gone back permanently and maybe Eddy is nearing fitness (or Preston recalled him themselves).



Eddy Jones is another to have incurred an ACL injury. He reportedly underwent surgery yesterday.

Alas, you won't see him again for circa nine months.

If was  less than ten games to go and nothing was at stake then no need  for it to be short term but the  main website yesterday suggests Caleb might be short term presumably a month .Still more than a third of the season left plus cup games
