Young goalie has just signed a two-year contract. Think he was the one that featured at the weekend (those of you that were at that game can confirm this)

We needed another goalie but hopefully Corey can provide Glenn with a challenge, unlike some others we've had in recent years

Yes, he was the keeper at the weekend. Hard to judge as it was so one sided but he pulled off a couple of smart saves, his positional sense was very good and he was commanding - he uis pretty tall.

A good addition.

I would like to see more of/signing of Lewis Gordon - he looked more than decent.

Hopefully a good signing for us. We definitely need a good back-up keeper for Morris. Some competition/cover between the sticks who isn't just a kid. Has Taylor Seymour left the club then? Nothing on the OS about it. He is still listed on the squad list on the OS, as is Mark Connolly for some bizarre reason.

And yes the club website needs updating without doubt, all the players who have left this summer are still listed on there

Well that certainly will be one of the interesting things to look out for. I am one of those who think pre-season tends to be about fitness rather than any big tactical masterplans being unveiled but we'll be able to see the minutes given to each keeper for any clues

I was surprised to see he will be 25 soon after the start of the season and has just made his Jamaica debut.

Chicken and egg really, if he doesn't start playing regularly he will never become experienced.

If Corey Addai was someone who had played under KB previously, I could see him maybe being first choice for the start of the season, as he would be a player KB knows and trusts enough to give him a go.

But I don't think that's the case, it looks like we needed a back-up goalie urgently, as pre-season is upon us, and Corey did well enough in training and in his trial game to get a contract with us. He will probably be goalie for the B team, if that gets up and running, and will get first team opportunities in the Carabao and pizza cups, as happened with Blondy when he was with us.

I don't see Morris not being first choice keeper when the league season starts.

I think with goalkeepers you can subtract 3 or 4 years to get their outfield player age, so for a 25 year old goalie that's like 21 or 22 in outfield player years. He should definitely be looking to play regularly though or his career might not take off.

Well Ben Hamer was pretty much ever present for us at 19 (he missed 1 game I believe). And Freddie Woodman was even younger before he was recalled.

But the point being I would be surprised if Corey has joined us at 25 to sit on the bench....

He hasn't got a lot of first team experience. Do you really think this is the guy KB has chosen to be our first choice goalie this season? He's completely unproven. Morris is a known quantity - a very decent keeper with a safe pair of hands, tons of experience and a back four who trust him.

It would be a risk dropping Morris. Look at what happened when Dermot Drummy brought in Beeney and Mersin. They weren't good enough, and the goalkeeping coach ended up between the sticks, and he is still there now.

Addai could turn out to be a great keeper, and the successor to Morris. But he will play the cup games, and be first choice for the B team if it ever happens.

If I have called it wrong, then let's hope Addai is of Woodman/Hamer quality.

Yeah I think Hamer was the exception to the rule and I don't remember Woodman being first choice while he was here, although he was only 18 at the time.

Freddie started every game until he was recalled in early October.
