sorry, was meant to be in a matchday thread - just got excited with the 3 points and didnt check before posting

If lavercombe had made the errors that Moore has in the last couple games he would have been slaughtered by some on here. Especially last night where he palmed a cross in the air behind him, and a combination of a rubbish header and quick thinking by butler cleared it from off the line.

Not that I don't think Moore is decent. Hoping if he gets released from fleetwood we may have a bit of a chance of signing him as number 1 to be honest.

Dan could have played in goal last night and we'd have won 2-0 to be honest.

First look at Moore, throw back to an old English goalkeeper and typical American! confident and came for every single cross into our box and took the pressure off the team. Didn't have any saves to make of note, kicks well but needs to work on his handling a bit. It's all well and good coming for those crosses and he read the game superbly but need to be taking them clean, he got every one of them at the 2nd attempt and one had to be hacked off the line which he didn't deal with brilliantly. I like him though, he'll have a decent career in the game methinks.

I have been an advocate of Dan for the past year, but he was back at the club last Tuesday helping Moore to warm up (wasted as a ball boy). I really don't go for dropping an outfield loanee - we simply can't afford to IMHO.

That makes sense now. I misinterpreted your post (reference to ballboy). My blood pressure is back to normal again now !

Altringham have a very poor away record, long may it continue!

Moore is an 'emergency keeper' signing so we can't have him in the 16 if Lavercombe is in it, so it's literally one or the other + Fisher.

No - not necessarily. One of the other loanees - Josh Rees for instance - could be omitted from the squad. Not really fair on Josh (or whoever was left out) but it could be a hypothetical option .........

Anyway, whatever happens, I'm sure all on here without the memory of a goldfish will thank Lavercombe for his part in the Gull's revival and wish him well at Wigan and his future. He seems to be a level headed lad with a good attitude and I think he has a bright future in the game.

That means Fisher starter as Moore and Lavercombe cannot both be in the matchday '16' together due to loan limits!
