capt_oats Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) Robinson confirmed at Morecambe. I see he's keeping their previous assistant manager but has brought O'Carroll in as First Team Coach.

crazylegsjoe_mfc Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) Crewe seems to me like the kind of move Long could have got himself this time last year, had he not had an over inflated opinion of his own ability and saved both us and him the season of him being a moody, expensive substitute.

Ron Aldo Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Had a look at Crewe's squad out of interest and along with the mythical Eddie Nolan, Long will also be playing alongside Chris Porter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League 1 and if Google Maps is anywhere near accurate it's about an hour from his house. Clearly delighted to have signed. So excited he forgot to do up his fly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) Fox signs a 1 year deal. Presumably this means Morrison's away out on loan given this is what he was saying at the end of the season: Quote The Motherwell prospect believes the QPR keeper is a great example of what loans can achieve: “We will see in the summer what the plan is for me at Motherwell, whether that’s going out on loan again or not. Graham Alexander (Motherwell manager) hasn’t been in very long so I haven’t spoken to him too much. “But he knows I have got another year left on my contract. He knows I need to play games. I have been really lucky. Liam Kelly has come through the same path as I have, going out on loan and getting games. It’s brilliant to see that this path works out, going out on loan and catching the eye for Premiership level. Liam is a great goalkeeper and a great guy.” Link Edited June 7, 2021 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubly so because of the Kelly situation as well - I mean, we've been extra public about wanting him so it suggests that we're after another GK one way or another and it doesn't seem like a decision will be made until later in the window until QPR work out what they're doing. Given Alexander's chat about wanting players in whose fitness we can rely on then rightly or wrongly it puts a question mark over whether he'd be happy to go into the season with Carson as his #1 and if that's not the case where does it leave Trev? Do Morecambe happen to need a 'keeper by chance? Tbh, I get the impression from Fox that he'd be happy enough to take a squad role as long as he's getting paid though, Edited June 7, 2021 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh, I get the impression from Fox that he'd be happy enough to take a squad role as long as he's getting paid though, I think Fox is more than happy to be a squad player, it does however pose more questions than answers. I’m worried about Carson going into next season as number one given his injury record and don’t think Fox is a regular number one, more someone playing the odd game or two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I think that's the point though. The fact we've been as open about wanting to keep hold of Kelly suggests that we're not 100% on Carson as our #1 either but the year he has left on his deal is the elephant in the room. It raises the question if he's happy to sit on the bench and be back up after his injury hell or not. Personally I'd be much happier going into the season with Kelly Carson and Fox as a 3rd choice with Morrison getting a full season on loan in the Championship than I would a repeat of the shitshow we saw this season with 'keepers all over the place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest superward Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) I'm not so sure on the Kelly v Carson take. I think it's more that Kelly performed so well that we'd have been crazy not to try and extend the deal for another season. He made some positive noises too so it gathered a bit of momentum. Rather than we wanted to/needed to replace Carson. Carson would also likely understand if he did sign given he watched Kelly come in and do so well. Kelly would be great to have back but the club could also feel that Carson is ready to play again and can play at the previous level. So, if the Kelly deal doesn't pan out we don't necessarily need to get another goalie in. Can we/should we carry 2 legitimate first team goalies and the wages that come with that? Probably not. Last season was a freakshow of injuries. As for Lafferty, I'd have been fine with him coming in. But if he doesn't also fine.

So, if the Kelly deal doesn't pan out we don't necessarily need to get another goalie in. Aye, I mean, it's entirely possible that I'm a mile out with that but it just feels difficult to square Alexander coming out talking about wanting to run with a smaller squad and having players we can rely on for 40-50 games with making an (albeit excellent) goalkeeper who's managed 24 league games in the past 3 seasons his #1 going into the new season. (Mea culpa, I should acknowledge that a fair chunk of those games he missed will have been down to losing his place to Gillespie rather than injury) For avoidance of doubt, absolutely none of that is a criticism of Carson. He's an outstanding goalkeeper who's had utterly shite luck with injuries and probably wasn't helped by us rushing him back in December.
