Glover hardly set the world alight against us last Saturday.

Halifax money comes from the sell on of Jamie Vardy.   We have a player who could well do a similar thing for us in a few years.

Harrogates money comes from a Dad playing fantasy football to give his son a job in football.

I know just disappointed hoped that the fixture congestion would scupper them, perhaps lack of playing time together might

To be honest, I thought we might do more than just sign a load of goalkeepers at this stage of the season, but hopefully we can stay fit and healthy over the next month or so.

There seems to be some confusion ( and probable manager beating ) with the goalkeeper situation unless I am missing something?

We signed Collister who then got a problem with his arm and has had to have tests and won't play this season.

So we went and signed an experience local keeper in McMillan as cover for Stuart.

Adam Reid is getting games out on loan to improve and the young lad Bullen isn't thought to be quite ready.

So really we have two keepers at the club?

To be fair Ecky, that's exactly what I thought was going on. People just seem to grasp the "5 keepers at the club" and run with it.

That being said, I am surprised we haven't brought in a couple of names to strengthen for the run in. Obviously Boshell is a great acquisition and something we needed. I just think we may need an extra defender and possibly another striker to give us a boost in numbers for the run in. :)

I think the signing of three cover players by Harrogate can be tempered some what by the fact their main man dominic knowles has gone to burton Albion, a massive dent in their promotion aspirations.

Don't get me wrong, I totally understood why McMillan was brought in. I'm just worried that the intense fixture list over the next month might expose a lack of strength in depth.
