Yeah, and obviously the goalkeeper situation, I thought Conor did really well tonight.
00:05
No, you weren't tempted to come out of retirement, no, for tonight.
00:09
Couldn't think of anything worse. I think those days are gone. A couple of years ago when I was,
00:13
when I used to train a little bit, yeah, but no. And then when you see Conor, I thought, I mean,
00:18
look, Conor's been someone who's a very good goalkeeper through injuries and whatnot. He's
00:22
not played loads of games, but I think you can see from tonight why he's so highly rated. And
00:26
I think the big thing for me was that you talk about goalkeeping and saves and everything, which
00:30
he, you know, he produced, but his kindness on the ball, but also he trained with us one day
00:34
yesterday, he plays tonight and plays like that. And it takes, that shows real character and that
00:37
shows someone who's got an opportunity to play, who's going to have a good career and going to
00:41
play more games. And yeah, so we're thankful that we've managed to get him in and he obviously put
00:45
on a good show, got himself, was very sharp and hopefully that helps him ready for Saturday and
00:50
a bit more understanding of what we're trying to do as a team. Yeah, and with Jasper, we obviously
00:54
called it back off loan. Is it just a little bit too early for him to be starting for Quarley Town?
00:59
Yeah, it is. And we spoke to Jasper about that. I don't know, he'll be a little bit frustrated as
01:02
all young goalkeepers will, but we're going to try and work hard and we'll see if there's any
01:06
solutions we can find for that area because we want Jasper out playing. He obviously went to
01:09
Whitehall, couldn't be able to recall him. And yeah, ideally we can get him out playing games
01:14
because, you know, Jasper's been fantastic. He's infectious around the place. He's a very good
01:17
goalkeeper. But like I said to him, I was like, it'd be really harsh for us to chuck you in at
01:21
this level before you're ready and that could be detrimental. And it's about, again, following the
01:25
right paths for him. You know, he needs to go out there, he needs to take off the levels and work
01:29
hard to play the game. So that's something that hopefully we'll be able to fix. Can't guarantee
01:33
it because obviously the situation with the injuries that we've had, we've been unfortunate
01:36
with Bici and Brian, but we're trying to assess it and see what we can do.
