Seasonal Emergency!
 

Can we sign an emergency 'keeper if our emergency keeper suffers an emergency? :confused: Or does young Dawber ask Santa for a pair of goalkeeping gloves for Christmas, like we all did ...............? :o

Keep the Faith! :D

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

No matter what happens,we must have a keeper on the bench also.:eek:

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

Are you offering, Cashy? :D

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

Will be a massive test for the young Dawber, thats for sure.

Im confident he is good enough . :)

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

Good confident kid,who won't let anyone down.We have a young back four,so he will feel comfortable ,hope they do give him a go,although generally,keepers seem to blossom a lot later than outfield players,he has the tools to succeed

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

Give the lad a chance........could be a blessing in disguise.

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

lets get behind young dawber because he his the future of our club

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

No ones disputing that, but is the fact we must have a keeper on the bench too difficult to grasp?:rolleyes:

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

Kieran Wolland is the youth team keeper........

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

since when was it a rule that you HAD to have a keeper on the bench?

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

It isnt a rule Macca........ Just a big risk !

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

No rule common sense.:rolleyes:

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

not if you have Paul Beck or steve bramwell

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

have not seen the sending-off incident, but assuming no appeal/joy, then Andrew Dawber has three very tough games before ban ends/window opens. Should put some steel into the defence knowing they have to support a young teammate between the sticks - and, anyway, didn't he have a very good match in the paint-pot trophy early season ? I'm behind the young man - whatever the results. Aye, and youth team keeper on the bench for the next few games can't harm his development.

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

He did have a fair game in paint pot, have no qualms about the lad playing, but do not think the youth team lad should be on bench.

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

Since the options are severely limited, just have to hope the lad can do the best he can & that the back four buck up to ease the pressure on him.
Regardless of what happens it'll be valuable experience & a major step in his learning curve.

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

fact implies rule

Cashy calling someone thick implies everyone knows this rule

so was just checking :confused:

there's a good number of teams don't bother on occasions to list a spare goalkeeper, preferring to increase their outfield options instead, as the likelihood of needing that spare keeper is rare.

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

May be rare, but on 2 occasions so far this season warranted, its sods law macca yeh will need one.;)

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

i kinda agree, and its definitely sods law that we'll need one in the next 3 games if we cant acquire another

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

Stanley's appeal refused. Are the panel blind?? They have condoned outrageous cheating. I am disgusted.

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

Not a great shock, wrong but expected.:(

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

he put his head into the numpties head, its intent.

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

he could have been killed!!!

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

Not from being head butted you can't, only if the ball hits you on the head :)

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

I don't know about killed, but Chadwick could have got a part in Reservoir Dogs.
Did not his reaction have 'intent'? Intent to cheat.

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

there was no way the appeal would have overturned the ban. What it should do though is force the FA to look at the video and decide whether Chadwick should be allowed to carry on playing football. Surely he is a health and safety risk if he can be hurt so easily? God forbid if he ever has to head a ball at pace!

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

Between em, Chadwick @ the F.A. have made a complete mockery of the Respect Campaign.:(

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

Doubt it, it wasn't up Shad.:rolleyes:

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

Looks like young Dawber will get his chance :)

Im confident he has what it takes !

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

...................

Another keeper arriving on loan aparently.

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

If another emergency keeper is flown in for tomorrow, I do feel for Mr. Dawber.
I appreciate the arguments as to why he oughtn't to get his chance right now but, equally, how is he ever to show his worth? He's been warming up the first-choice keeper and the bench all season, and despite an injury to Dunbavin and a ban for his stand-in, the lad may continue to have to sit out another match.
Maybe he is too young and inexperienced but I recall Rob Elliot wasn't much older, if at all, when he started at Stanley.
Without regular reserve games and an abundance of 'unused' third choice keepers at bigger clubs, it's hard to see how a young keeper could establish his place in a team.

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

Not on his performance against Stanley in pre-season.
Obviously the chant of "England's No.1..." he received from t'Rovers fans was an abbreviation of "England's No. 1...butterfingers".:p

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

I tend to agree Exile............ BUT the kid has only just turned 18, has bags of talent and without a doubt will get more chances between now and the end of the season.

IF he has a nightmare then it could destroy him.

On the other hand he plays a blinder and becomes our automatic first choice at 18 years old. Its a massive problem to have, and maybe Leam is right not throwing him into the side at such a young age.

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

I've not read or heard anything about a second emergency loan goalkeeper, so can only assume Dawber will get the nod tomorrow. He's a confident lad

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

According to Dany Robson on twitter we have signed another keeper on loan.......

She usually is a good source.

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

Dany is a good source. Do we know who the 'keeper is?

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

No name as of yet.........

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

Cameron Belford from Bury according to Twitter!

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

Also Observer says Dawber isnt on on a pro contract!

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

just picked up cameron belford on twitter doesn't look too bad on wikki!

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

If thats the case? yeh gotta wonder why not?:confused:

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

I seem to remember him playing in plastic eye shades when playing against us, or am I thinking of someone else?

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

Seem to think he got a facial injury so possibly?

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

2010-11 he broke his cheekbone playing for Bury at Southend, so that's very probable ....... :)

Interestingly, he seems to have made his Bury debut as a late sub against Accie at the Crown Ground on 3rd May 2008 when Bury won 2-0; now why does that game ring a bell...............................? :o:o:o No reflection on him, I hasten to add

Decent reputation; welcome on board Mr Belford..............24, with a decent amount of experience at our level. :D

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

all this guff about Dawber not being on a pro contract, does it matter? does that stop him from playing? if so why is he on the bench if he cant come on?

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

4 keepers before the new year is that a record? Then 3 in a week could be!

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

Having watched him (Belford) a few times...he's a very good keeper at this level...

Other option...

Throw an 18 year old in for a league debut at a game..... where we'll play in front of a hostile 6-7k+ plus....with a makeshift defence in front of him??? Where we may take a hiding???

Destroy the lad's confidence????:confused::confused::confused:

Dawber may play a blinder (if played) , but I can understand Leam's reasoning!!

Get 50+ points on the board ( & SAFE ) then blood talent.:o

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

Correct, he is in his final year of a youth contract.

Sign him up NOW Leam ! Or he can walk for next to nothing.

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

He can come on, he did last week after the sending off

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

Belford confirmed - ASFC News Story > 5159 - lots of fiddly paperwork and whatnot for these emergency loans, hence the late arrival (just ask Mr. T!)

To clarify the Dawber situation I believe that the management are very keen to give him a pro deal (and have been for some time) BUT if he signs as a pro then the club aren't allowed to bring in an emergency loan, which would only leave Dawber available... and as we've seen in recent weeks it's probably a good idea to have two keepers available!

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

Very good point made by Dan about if Dawber signed Pro deal we would be unable to loan another emergency keeper.
With Belford returning to Bury on Jan. 3rd it means we will still be requiring a goalkeeper
Belford joins Accy Stanley

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

That explains things very well cheers.:)

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

Hi, Chesterfield fan here!

Belford was Bury's goalie that we ended up in the papers for one of our idiot fans running onto the pitch and decking ... should make things even more interesting ...

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

to answer to Nige b, i dont think we will ever beat 3 keepers in one day.

20/8/2005 away v cambridge united, Jones jacked midweek, Gallagher was signed and a lad called harrison, gallagher didn't turn up harrison was on the bench bertrand bossu played in goal, that was a disaster he couldn't catch a cold, all three never played again,
in came randolph all history

Re: Seasonal Emergency!
 

For what its worth, Belford did nothing wrong today.

He looked gutted at the final whistle, so fair play to the lad.
