We still haven't got a goalkeeper coach .the keepers are warming themselves up before games. Really really bad in fairness.

I've always wondered why the goalies need a coach.

All you need to do is catch the ball, kick the ball and dive around a bit.

Surely every keeper who's reached a professional level can do that without having to be coached?

Imanol Etxeberria has signed to be the GK coach. He was with the goalkeepers at Forest Green away.

Just waiting for the paperwork for it to be official.

Good news re goalie coach. But why does it take so long to do the paperwork? I’m not saying it’s the club’s fault as I di not know but FGR was ages away.

Yeah I agree. Can only assume we're waiting for some sort of international clearance but does seem to be taking a long time, whoever's fault it is.

For managers and coaching staff, work permit regulations are often even stricter, requiring proof of high-level managerial experience in top-tier domestic leagues or major international tournaments. It’s not a simple standard contract.

I recon its complications or ineptitude with the welsh fa that holds things up.

Too right it could!

I heard a cross was put in the wrong box so he was waiting for his shot but it never came.
