Can't see it elsewhere, but Sky reporter is saying that Pope is leaving on loan to join Bury for the rest of the season. I guess this means that a new keeper deal is done?

    Check Etheridge thread. Signed until end of the season.

    All well and good, but if Pope goes on loan that leaves us until Henderson gets fit, with Mitov as the only cover. Phillips has already gone out on loan as well.

    If Pope goes out on loan then someone else will come in. You need 3 keepers available.

    I hope and pray Henderson is fine but think he'll be out for a good bit and a new body will join. I don't think anyone sees Etheridge as first choice in anything but the very short term.

    A fair point.

    Very true Clem.

    They wouldn't let Pope out unless somebody else was coming in.

    Gutted for Pope who clearly lost his nerve with us.

    I really believe he'll be a very good keeper one day but sadly I don't think it'll be with us.

    Ben Roberts saying on the OS that Henderson' s injury is a short-term. Still only leaves us with one senior keeper in the meantime though.

    What did Henderson actually injure?

    Lost track with the amount of goalkeepers we've had on the books coming and going this season.

    Bury are in league 2, albeit competing for a play off place. Pity he couldn't have gone up a league to Div 1 after his successful spell with York last season.

    There can't be many players who've played for both Bury Town and Bury FC...

    Pope will come good, probably not with us, now, and I would have stuck with him, not bothered if I'm in a minority of one.

    Wouldn't disagree with this. Until Etheridge starts to dominate his box coming for crosses and commanding his defence my opinion won't change however Ben Roberts must prefer him of the two from what he sees in training and the contract offer he was made in the summer. Six goals conceded in three games, not just down to him but he is part of the defence and must shoulder some responsibility. I'm yet to be convinced.

    I'm with you there. Easy scapegoat for Bob when Bikey and TBH have been just as at fault.

    Etheridge has only been given a contract to the end of the season.

    Hardy a ringing endorsement.

    If Pope leaves that means Etheridge is the only available keeper until we sign someone or promote Mitov.

    There's nothing on the OS about it.

    A good move for Pope, get plenty of games and rebuild his confidence. Clearly wasn't ready for Champ football but will be in a year or two I'm sure. I'm also certain that we're not writing him off just yet as a club. How long is left on his deal?

    Not sure on either Hendo or Ethers... I'd take Hamer as back up.

    Pope seems to me that he is short of confidence. Not sure why; however he may be intimidated by the presence of Bikey and TBH, who seem to be very dominant personalities. It must be hard for him to give those two a bollocking when they need it.

    It will be the same for Etheridge and I said as much the other day, would rather have seen an experienced keeper signed on loan who won't take any crap from those in front of him.

    Or maybe because Bob is quick to publicly blame him.

    Pope has the making of a good keeper in time. Hope it works out for him .

    He does seem to shoot from the hip. TBH, Harriott,Tucadean and Pope have all copped it. He is wrong to play the blame game so publically.

    Agreed he is wrong...butcher must be under tremendous pressure to make this work. Let's hope we have some luck on Saturday.
    Re. Choice of keepers we just need to get through to May in one piece then plenty of time over the summer to re-align the squad ready for next time.

    What a load of bollix

    Surely Nick can get a game in league 1? Not really going to help him training at that level. Can't we offer better training than Bury? (oh yeah we don't have any strikers to shoot at him because I hear BP likes to be the best in training ;)

    Knew he would make mistakes. Inevitable for a goalie. His errors pale into insignificance when compared to BPs management of a young player making his debut at this level.

    Totally agree @calydon_road‌
    If he was rated one of the best in league 2 last season then league 1 is the natural progression especially after some exposure in the Championship
