Mansfield at home!! Gah!!!!It is not a good sign when you're dropped in favour of Benji Buchel who was only an "ok" keeper.

Yes, I reckon if we had a decent keeper that season we would have gone up as Champions. We had a really good team but the Goalkeepers were a liability on occasions.It is not a good sign when you're dropped in favour of Benji Buchel who was only an "ok" keeper.
If we had Eastwood a season earlier (back when he was still POTY standard) we would’ve smashed 100 points. Any slightly above average keeper would’ve probably been enough for that, actually. The pair of them were a liability, and even Mapp knew it. Back then, though, he was the head coach and the recruitment team signed everybody. They got most other things right, mind. Leeds ended up taking most of them two years later, at the end of our first season back in L1.Yes, I reckon if we had a decent keeper that season we would have gone up as Champions.

Ryan Taylor signs for Grimsby ahead of their return to the Conference.
Gah, remember all the blowhards on here? Not for me, could do better, etc. Mind you, joining Birmingham is a bit of a kiss of death all round, it seems.Jordan Graham about to sign for Birmingham apparently, done well for himself:

Wow.Jordan Graham about to sign for Birmingham apparently, done well for himself:
He wasn’t as good but I thought still pretty good.Tbf to those, I remember him not being that good on his last loan with us.

I really think, if you’re a decent league player and you let your contract run down, you can usually find a team in the league above willing to take a punt on you.
My memory is of him playing a bit too much for himself.
Still definitely worth a punt for Brum.
I thought he played well for Gillingham and was more hard working and team-focused. I'd probably rather have him signed for a couple of years than borrow random wingers every year.My memory is of him playing a bit too much for himself.
