The signing makes sense, but one would hope he’s ready to step in and perform well, especially if his confidence was knocked at Port Vale. Our fans won’t take kindly to the occasional mistake; we can be very critical. I believe fans wanted someone who could easily fit in if Sam Slocombe became injured or was in poor form. Nonetheless, it’s a decent signing.

I'm curious to see how Stone will perform in goal for the team. The compliments about him have been mostly encouraging, so I have high hopes for his contribution.

No idea on how he plays or will fit into our squad, but time will tell. Brooks does deserve to get a chance tho.

I can’t say I have heard the name, but he’s young for a goalkeeper, so let’s see what he can do.

We have to keep in mind that there will be signings like Will Randall, who is not guaranteed to get time, although he does seem more likely than a backup keeper. I think the main thing to remember is that we haven’t seen any of the new players, so there’s always the chance that Aidan Stone fits in well with us. He’s quite likely been signed because he can play the sweeper-keeper role well.
