If the keeper you mean is Fisher he needs to grow about 6 inches taller.

Amazed no one is saying Rankin Costello.

Is he smaller than Raya?

I think so, I've only seen him once. He played pretty well but his lack of stature was an handicap in the shoot out.

Jesus, he must be pretty small as Raya would not be big by current standards for a goalkeeper. Fisher still has some growing to do I suppose.

I hope so. Apart from that he had a decent game.

It is difficult to think of a keeper in the premiership under 6 feet 2 inches. They are all huge

Yeah, that's the way of it these days. And most of them still struggle when a corner comes in !

Game tonight vs Wolves at Telford. A win would put us top of the table at Xmas.

I noticed Dean Rittenberg pop up on the BBC teleprinter the other week. He was scoring for Bangor at Barry Town. I remember him scoring quite a few for the ressies and being well thought of. Shows how hard it is to get into the first team even in Div 3.

Platt has signed a new contract. Is he any good? As good as Wharton?

I've only seen him the once but he did pretty well. He's a bit more of a " no nonsense " type of centre half than Wharton. Two good lads there for the future.

I remember saying that when we had Taylor and Johanneson playing there but it didn't work out that way.

[blueboy3333]

Matty Platt is magic,

He wears a magic hat,

And when he saw his new contract

He said 'I'm signing that'.

Spoke with someone connected to the club earlier. Aparently Raya ia 6' 1" and Fisher is 6' 3". Fisher aparently is young and needs to fill out.

He also said he has previously done well at penalties saving 3 in a cup match v Southport.

Very comfortable performance, particularly in the second half after Morecambe went down to ten men.  Travis and Charley Doyle looked particularly good and young Buckley, promoted from the Under-18's, looked very comfortable in midfield on a difficult pitch.

It's a joke that Travis hasn't been on the bench much in recent weeks, he's a perfect substitute.

Doyle coming along nicely, makes the signing of Hart a bit of a mystery.

Different Doyle, Tyrone. Left back Doyle is called Jack. Charley Doyle has played as the right of 3 centre backs in the games that I have seen, he doesn't look like a footballer at all but is weirdly quite good.

Sorry, my mistake. 

[BlackburnEnd75]

For anyone watching the under 23's regularly who's ready to step up to the first team ? If anyone?

From what i've seen and heard previously its Travis but I've not really seen enough myself to comment.
