    Shame that. So unlucky with his injury and get the fact he wants to be the first choice keeper

    see they have just signed Adam Le Fondre too, thought he was well past it. Good luck to JoJo.

    Best wishes Jojo. A bit hard done by to be behind AMB, as both are at a similar level really, but that's the nature of being a keeper, with only one spot available. A decent move for him, and another of last summer's signings off...

    not sure AMB is up to scratch after seeing him end of last season.

    Can't help but feel we've got this one a bit wrong. I liked Jojo, he was a decent keeper and he could play out effectively. There were aspects to his game that could improve but keepers do typically get better with more time spent alongside a settled defence and we could have seen a lot more from him if he hadn't been so unlucky with injuries. I still don't really understand why Holden didn't at least look at him in a few games, especially when AMB looked like he would have benefited from being taken out of the firing line for a little but without actually being dropped. We'll have to see what we do now, but if we go for a proper benchwarming backup keeper then I worry we might end up in a bit of a mess if AMB's form dips again and we don't have a quality player to bring in. Fingers crossed all that potential in AMB starts to come through quickly and consistently now.

    if so you'd think he'd get a better gig than Hibs. He was an ok keeper at our level, no more, although that's where I see AMB too at the moment but he's younger with the potential to improve.

    would be nice where we have the same keeper for 3-4 seasons. Feel like we've had a merry go round of keepers recently with none actually being that great overall.

  • Not much between him and AMB i feel but i trust Holden's judgement and if the rumours are true about Isted who did well at Barnsley last season coming in on a free then i'm happy with that.

    Wish JoJo every success as he leaves our club for pastures new.

    He has moved to a higher level than us in midtable League One.

    I think Dobson is the only player in our squad who has started 50 games for us. Very difficult to get any sort of continuity when you have an ever revolving door of players.

    JoJo unlucky in his time here. Would actually say he's a better keeper than AMB but with a lower potential. Best of luck.

    Ben Hamer was probably the last keeper who was first choice for a decent period of time.

    I liked him and felt he was unlucky.

    Good luck JoJo.

    Will be interested to see who his replacement is. I rate AMB but he has had problems with injuries and concussions

    Always felt he was the better of the two goalkeepers.

    Keeper out for a fee and a decent replacement hopefully lined up on a free is good business imo.

    Another one in on a free and out for a fee

    Good keeper, can understand letting him go though. Rate AMB higher and He will want to be playing to get into the international squad

    Probably £50k or something like that I'd guess?

    Good luck to him thought he was a good player and unlucky not to play more after his injury.

    Thought he was OK but not up to the standard of keepers we have had, even in this league. Just hope we get a decent replacement otherwise its up to AMB to stay injury free and to progress.

    Letting him go now that Isted is signing for us?

    "Undisclosed terms".  Terms is an odd choice of words - it's usually "undisclosed fee" isn't it?  I'm guessing no money up front but a few quid based on appearances....

    Well I hope we have someone lined up otherwise if AMB gets a long term injury then we're f**led.
