    Eastwood is 29 in October and managed a season and a half of games in mens professional football.

    Hoping for a better back up for Maison.

    At the end of the day, we’d all love a Yashin, Banks, Zoff, Shilton, Schmeichel between the sticks.

    We are where we are with the staff (players) we’ve got.

    How are you going to change it?

    Unless you can subsidise a ‘glory keepers’ wages – then you can’t.

    Hence… support the young un!

    If we support the manager and the whole team the rest will follow Rene, it sure beats speculation and second guessing.

    Absolutely… too much ‘fantasy football’ at times.
    Electric, water, gas, telephones etc all need paying – it’s a business at the end of the day… and not that profitable a one either.
    We’d be defunct if it wasn’t for the fab four!
    It is what it is.
    Let’s stop moaning and support the board, the football staff, the players and the office staff.
    One United!

    Shocking tonight and GK position worries me massively. Surely an experienced head has to come in as the other GK ?

    2-0 up, then to lose 2-3… tsk

    Yeah, it’s only a ‘friendly’… but there’s no such thing! Players are playing for contracts and to cement their place in the starting X1 for when the season commences.

    To be fair Campbell only let in the first of the three. Trialist keeper couldn’t do much about the other two.

    The second half back 4 however, 3 of whom started the play off final, could and should have done something about App Frods equaliser and winner.

    App Frod’s right winger had a fine game and their centre forward took his goals well.

    An inexperienced 22 y.o. challenged for No 1 by an inexperienced 20 y.o.?
    I don’t think so!

    Another thread on Bru deems to undermine the fact that we need a first team goalkeeper.

    If we start the season with an unproven keeper who makes basic handling errors we will lose games and be at the bottom of the table.

    Most fans I suspect will take a season of consolidation in the National League without the drama of a dogfight trying to avoid relegation.

    A bad start sets the rot and undermines a teams confidence. First team keeper needed asap.

    Couldn’t agree more Ironking. Most critical piece of outstanding business to be done, I would go as far as to say season defining.

    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.

    If we send him out on loan then we’ll need to sign 2 keepers surely.

    And where could we send him anyway, poorer of the 2 on show yesterday by a country mile.
    If the crowds turning on you in friendlies it’s going to be a long way back for him.

    Unless mussie is just a yes man surely it’s up to him to have a quiet word with Butler.

    Was the crowd turning on him? Is this going to be another Kyle Wootton scenario AWG?

    Did the fans turn on him no, more Butler, watch Gareths blog fans around him vocalizing empathy when he made a save just before halftime.
    Said many a time before fans will back everyone from the start of every game but they won’t stay silent when they see continues errors especially when it’s the goalie.
    Given that it was at the other end he maybe got lucky with the fans.
    Glad Kyle went on did the business with someone else but he just couldn’t do it for us, happens all the time at all clubs.
    I do believe he’s toast though.

    Butler’s already said they’re looking for another keeper that will challenge him so I don’t get some of the panic narrative.
