I have to agree with the sentiments on this thread, anytime Scunthorpe United have done well we have always had a good, solid, dependable goalkeeper. It is early days, but from what I’ve seen of last season, and the pre-season, it is clear that Mason is a little rough round the edges. I feel there is a good keeper in there, however I have to wonder if he will be up to the demands of being a number 1 in a highly competative league.
Statements like “this is a make or break season” mean that Butler is putting unecessary presure on Mason.
I know finances are restricted however, I think we should really be looking to bring in a number one and send out Mason on a half-season loan to gain some first team experience. Failure to do so will likely cost us more in the long-term.
