In his interview after Morecambe Olikigbe said there is no point in dwelling on the other matches we can’t influence only our own which we can
Wise words.

Apparently the Bowls went aeons without a pen before getting one recently.

We have been spoiled for keepers in my lifetime and this is probably the longest we have gone without an outstanding one, Tommy being the last, although in my opinion even he was a notch below the likes of Stevenson, Hardwick and Mercer, Billy being the last truly great one we had (he kept us in the semi final against Middlesbrough and nearly saved their penalty.) It intrigued me what he was doing playing at our level.
I doubt we will see such keepers again. Regarding Boot, yes he’s flawed but will suffice at present unless we can get someone better. I wouldn’t want another young loanee who turns out to be no better than Boot.

I expect had we lost or even drawn this thread would be double the pages.
