Its Joe Whitworth according to Alan Nixon off twitter . Seems quite rated. U21s player of the season. Has played a lot for all of their youth teams and played 2 premier league games too last season. No surprise Hurst looking at loan market for keepers. Reckon he will get a loan and a more experienced keeper to compete for No1 but probably with the assumption loan keeper (possibly this fella) will be No1 He is either 5’ 11” or 6’ 0” tall, depending on which profile you read. That’s short for a modern era goalkeeper, especially as we like them to command their areas. |

Funnily enough my Mate is a Cheltenham Town fan and also helps with transport at the club. He told me that we were interested in the goalkeeper as he had been told about it from someone at the club who monitors social media. I hadn't noticed it myself

He's only 20, probably only more or less stopped growing, so can't imagine those figures are entirely accurate |

I hadn't noticed it myself Luke Southwood pretty good keeper at this level I reckon. Don't think he'd be signed as a back up keeper. First team or at least competing for No1. Mickey Moore and Tom Ware will know him well as he was on loan at Cheltenham in 2022/23 before signing permanently with them last season |

I wonder if he's referring to Pardington (also released) and incidentally released by Hurst after a few months at Grimsby as back up. If its the latter then the budget cost cutting is on a different scale than what I thought it would be. |

That's a very different level than Southwood. Not a single start registered for either Grimsby or Cheltenham in league or cup. Only a single ever start for an EFL club was for Mansfield in 2021, in last game of season dead rubber. He's from Walsall too so makes even more sense. But yeah if true my hope that it town got a loan keeper, the second one would be an experienced player to compete look a bit fanciful |

i can see sercombe being a player of the calibre we can afford, Cheltenham links and 1 yr contract, this is where we probably will shop Looks to be leaving them, wouldn't surprise me if we were after him robinsnestforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=32185 |

Jon Palmer, a Cheltenham based journalist who has good links to the club has said George Lloyd is close to signing for a league 1 club.
You’d presume it’s us, MM link & Lloyd had a good loan spell for Hurst at Grimsby.
His goal scoring stats are poor on the whole but sounds like he’s hard working & has a good jump….

Well....the league of Ireland players were a success weren't they!!! sobowales gone,and the other 2 on 3 year contracts,and hardly pulling up trees🤦🤦....Moore needs to up his game drastically,and make sure all or most of the summer signings are up to scratch,and basically 1st team ready to go....we will see what happens!!

Of course the LOI players may simply not be up to it. It must be remembered, however that players coming from other leagues to English football (especially from Holland and Scandinavia) often find the speed and physicality of our game difficult. Its not unusual for a player to take a season to adapt. Not ideal for an ailing L1 club.
Hopefully we will see improvement next season. If not criticism may be justified.

We cant afford players to take 12 mths to settle in......we need players primed and ready to go.... it's as simple as that

In his recent interview the CEO was very complimentary about the Director of Football's experience in player recruitment.
I hope the CEO's confidence is not misplaced.

From what has happened since the Director of Football has been employed it is clear to me that his experience and contacts are totally not up to his employment at Salop.
Isn’t it a case of learning from mistakes and the club need to learn quickly about the mistake of employing him.
I would like to know who spotted the under 21 keeper we are supposed to be keen on bringing in. Also apart from the so called midlands contacts, who is looking elsewhere in the EFL and National league for potential at salop.
It would appear that long trusted scouts at the club have disappeared.
If we are going to carry on with the current way of employing players and staff, Hurst apart, there will not be any improvement and the writing will not be removed from the wall, ie relegation candidates.

So we have Moore , hurst and doig on the case of looking for new players , bottom line hurst has to agree to any signings So Take one of those away and hand him some free money to go will Improve us and improve our odds for next season ? You think so ? I don't Didn't someone tell us Moore was going back to Cheltenham ? |

Ok let me be even more blunt.
Moore is a waist of space and the quicker he goes somewhere else the better.
Then can we get out previous scouts back and then maybe we will get some stability around recruiting players.
In your reply Pilch, I think there was a slight I agree with you stance.

Moore going back to Cheltenham was certainly a short lived rumour.

Saw this on X and immediately thought it looked destined to be us. Ex-Cheltenham player relegated from League One last season with a dreadful goal scoring record. Absolute shoe-in. In fact, the only two goals he scored last season were against us. He didn’t score in his other 26 appearances… |

The fact is Caldwell & cotterill between them cost us massively, neither of them answered to each other and both played the chairman off against each other , and they soon fell out with each other Clearly a system there that doesn't work , hence a director of football being installed , if hurst had been available 12 months ago I'm pretty sure the chairman would have jumped for that plan instead , but it wasn't an option Circumstances has dictated we now have both , and whilst we continue to pay for both I cannot think of anything more sensible than to leave things alone at least until the time comes to renew contracts and we have more to judge them on at a time when we have no money , paying anyone off is a crazy idea |

Totally disagree.
It’s time to cut our losses instead of digging us deeper in a hole.
The bit I can go along with is to get a director of football who has the credentials and experience that will do the job.
There is no point in us getting players in that resume the problems we are trying to get rid of.

We should have a better idea what’s going on next week with an update due from MM to the fans.
Article dated 22/03
And that’s why I think it's important I write to you every 10 weeks or so to inform fans what we’re doing to improve all football-related matters at the club.

Given the chaos both on and off the pitch leading up to this time last season, I just want to see some much needed stability at the club, certainly for now.
We've got a lot of recruitment to do this Summer and given our much reduced budget that's not going to be easy. We need Moore to step up and prove his worth, let's judge him on what he can unearth this summer.

That's true.. judge him this season.....the only reason I wanted Moore to go,was for financial reasons only...IE...use his money/wages on new players for this season......but I'll be looking carefully what he brings in this season.....very closely
