Just got thinking about the possibilities of what would happen if we don't go up. I was wondering whether Macca will want another year in the Conference when he could probably get into a League 1 club.

Its not so much a question of whether he would 'want' another year in the conference, that i doubt very much, its whether there are any offers on the table from league clubs to make him their first choice - i think there probably will be, but reckon if we go up he will want to stay here. Very good keeper, tremendous potential, but not the finished article yet IMHO, most keepers are at their best in late twenties/early thirties, so he has prob got 3 or so years improvement left in him yet.

Well there's been some scouts at recent games, so I imagine there will be offers in the summer, but not sure whether they'd make him first choice.

Isn't there a similar thing to Pearson's renewal last year going on? I've read somewhere (on here I think) that it's pretty much done but hasn't been announced yet.

I seem to be in a minority of one but he doesn't control his box enough for me. There are times when you need your keeper to come and take the pressure off the back four and he doesn't do it. This leads to the back four droping too deep.
Still learning and not sure he is good enough as first choice for a league club.....

He is young for a keeper though, and better coaching at a higher level would probably help him develop in this area.

Fair point, i agree to a certain extent, but you see that at a much higher level as well, keepers seem far less dominant these days to me, maybe its the modern footballs i d'ont know, but every time i see Petr Cech concede a goal its seems to be him allowing his back four to drop far too deep and him dithering around in his 6 yard box - and he is far from alone in that, even at the top level. Macca still has room for improvement IMO, but he has the ability to do it i feel, hope it's with us..

Being a second choice keeper can be a soul destroying place, probably only made bearable by the higher wages of a league club. Macca might get a number 1 slot in league 2 somewhere but any higher and he is likely to be second choice. If Town go up I think he will stay, but leave if not. I seem to think it has been said that the club have made him an offer at present, which he is thinking about. Agree with other posters, he has room for improvement but will probably do so.

Said this , last season , was sat with friend who had brought his golfing partner , turned out he was ex Derby County goal keeper in the 60's . Really nice chap , pointed it out immediately to us , also that he was young to be first choice , decent shot stopper . Again what sort of coaching ? Nothing against Croudson but he should be learning now after 3 seasons .
