There is no way we can start Saturday with Eastwood in goal first thing tomorrow we should be sorting an emergency goalie

Cumming injury doesn’t sound too bad thank god.

Eastwood has been a decent servant but that’s Coventry, Wimbledon & tonight where he’s been the worst player on the pitch.

His arms have gone.

We can't sign an "emergency" loan type signing because Eastwood is available.
If he were to get crocked then we potentially could as Eddie Brearey would be the only pro keeper and he has less than 5 senior appearances. However as it sounds like there is a recall clause on McGinty, I think it would be expected that we trigger that and an emergency loan would be rejected anyway.

Any keeper signing would have to be a full loan until end of the season or a permanent deal.
Or a keeper who is a free agent on a short term deal - but can't be many of them around who have played some football recently.

Having watched the Bishop goal back in slow-mo, actually think the first save is fantastic from Eastwood, point blank, takes a nick in front of him off Bishop who didn't have the original shot and he stops it.
Complete pot luck where the ball ends up going, he blocks a 2nd stab from Bishop, and it then looks like Smyth and Moore get in each others way which stops Moore putting his boot through the ball, leaving Bishop to bundle it over the line.

The defending out wide is horrendous to allow the initial cross to come in.

Eastwood's positioning for the second is all over the place (the old shot across him situation), much like the defence as well.
