OK, I'm assuming he'll be backup now as he seems to be lacking match practice. I'd never heard of an ESC payer before; in Germany, ESC is what they call the Eurovision Song Contest

esc is the escape button to me, so i hope hes good. 🤣

question is, how does @Piethagoram feel? i think sam slocombe might be retiring or at the very least moving on next season. i personally think hes good enough for the backup, but this would be the long term solution and could mean no need to focus on keepers in the summer.

@liampie

Tyler only has a contract with Notts till the 30th of June so I'm assuming that him coming to Notts is only for short term cover while Bass is recovering from his injury.

Be interesting to know if he was in the country already prior to joining us, I just wonder why you’d move from the US for what will basically to play for 7-10 matches… Maybe we’ll get a little interview with him soon.

Anyway, I’m assuming we’ve signed him to play and will probably see him against MK otherwise the move will seem even more bizarre!

Also in my time supporting Notts I can't remember ever having a US player in the squad before, is he the first? 

@liampie Even at Newport, there was a moment when Slocombe had the ball at his feet, my heart was experiencing palpitations!

I think he is being signed as a #1 keeper.

Bloody hope so....I'll never forget the first 20 minutes at Wembley!!!!

@gtownjohnno Just prior to Wembley, Luke said come what may, he would be looking at how the players handle the "pressure"

I was left completely baffled when Sam was issued with a new contract!

Tentatively, Ade Akinbiyi joined #Notts having played for Houston Dynamo. Can't think of any US born Notts players at the moment. There was Marcus Haber but he was Canadian

 

 

So he’d moved to Notting Hill I wonder if when we, Notts County, first called he thought he’d be playing a short walk away!

Still given the size of the US and distances they have to travel, Notts to London will seem like a short drive.

Great interview though, seems a really positive and driven guy.

Notting Hill..when he saw there was Grant at Notts, perhaps he thought it was Hugh

A really positive interview

Also, referenced knowing #Notts from Welcome to Wrexham @Dry Nelson Ray

 

 

I believe that Sam deserves to keep his place in the Notts side. He has three clean sheets to his name since he replaced Alex.

I agree Sam has earned his place since Bass was injured, I think it would be a slap in the face if the new keeper was picked ahead of him.
