That’s three pro goalies on the books, surely a full complement.
Howes to be first choice this season?

Literally no chance.

Good luck to this lad. Presumably he'll be loaned out to a step 2/3 club for some game time, so no impact on our numbers.

Hope you are right, although with 4 weeks to the Bolton match we could do with getting a shift on. The Vigs rumours seem to have faded away.

One would hope that's just to ensure he's covered under the compo rules should we sell at some point. Howes as #1 is basically accepting relegation before you even start the season

Only 4 weeks to go before our opening game against Bolton and still we need to sign another 5 or 6 players. We had better get a move on

Why is everyone being so daft?

Everyone knows he’s nowhere near good enough to be first choice.

He's rated, but is nowhere near ready for the 1st team.

I know I had a dig at someone the other day for predicting relegation in July, but if Howlers is a first choice goalie this season then Lord help us. It’s bad enough that we don’t have any goal scorers, add a butter fingers conference goalie at the other end and we might be confirmed league 2 status by February.

But Howes isn’t and never will be our first choice keeper.

What is wrong with people?

Can’t you imagine the reaction in 4 years time if we let this highly rated kid walk and he’s playing in the Championship?

If you watch Richie's interview on the website after last night he gives a little smile when he talks about needing a keeper. I reckon one is pretty much sorted and we'll find out soon enough

I reckon Richie's knowing smile means Vigs is coming back.

A month out from the start of the season and we've confirmed that Howes is going to be our number 1? Unbelievable, I never would have renewed my ST if I'd known that would be the case. I feel cheated.

Just seen that Howes has been up graded to no 1 for the squad numbers for 2024/25 - guess that's it then?

Might be remembering this wrong but didn't Vigoroux wear a fairly random squad number for us when when he was obviously first choice? Still got a feeling he might be the keeper that's signing
