It was their U-19 team according to a Dublin reporter - who is a town fan - on Radio Swindon this morning. Hodgetts also said our new goalkeeping coach was present, Paul Crichton.  Didn't he have a loan spell with us in his playing days?

Ex Grimsby keeper wasn't he?

Yeah I recall him from his Grimsby days (when they were good). Plenty of coaching experience too.

On 23 June 2014 he returned to former club Grimsby Town as the club's new goalkeeping coach.[16] On 9 July, having only taken part in a week's worth of pre-season training, Crichton departed Grimsby and joined Blackpool in a similar role.[17] On 7 August 2015 Crichton joined Queens Park Rangers, again as goalkeeping coach,[18] and left the club on 28 January 2016.[19]

Doesn't seem to stay anywhere very long!

There's a huge list of clubs he was contracted to as a player too!

Not that that's an issue, more of an observation..

I did the Paul Crichton stuff when we signed Jake Kean in the dog days of last season.....

Never heard of him... but good luck to the lad!

Sort of reminds me of pitching up at Elm Park, Boxing Day 87. To find some bloke in goal who wasn't Fraser or Nicky Hammond.
Fraser had bust his thumb earlier in the season....Lou obviously didn't fully trust Hammond, so got Tim Flowers in, when his loan ran out, Hammond came back in, but he got injured in training just before Christmas.

As there was no media news because of the hols...had no idea who he was, let alone heard of him. It transpired it was Paul Crichton who Forest had let us have for the emergency....we won 1-0. Hopefully Kean can have a similar impact.

Crichton was still going at 40 and picking up a pay cheque for coaching and bench sitting....goalkeeping can be a very decent career.

No that's a fair point, wasn't a criticism per se, merely something I noticed.

Paul Crichton wasn't a bad keeper, made his debut for us in an away local derby vs Reading when he played really well in a 1-0 win, at the time he was very highly rated by Forest and we tried to sign him permanently but it never came off.

I do remember he was a good kicker and commanded his area well, hopefully he can pass that onto our keepers.

As for the game, seemed like a good result, shame no trialists played but then again even if it was their youngsters you can only beat the team in front of you. Sounds like a good run out.
