I think Hessy will be looking for a bit of experience, think that is essential inbetween the sticks, need someone that has some presence in the box. Can only see us buying one keeper considering our budget with the young chap Daren Hawkes sitting on the bench, Hessy only seems to have good things to say about him!
I have it on authority from a Fleet supporter who saw the majority of Hawkes matchs that he wasn't very convincing, a bit over weight and had a problem with his kicking. We may need two decent keepers...
Yeah, But I think he will get better, From what I see of him a few months a go, He is good, Just a little too early for him to play, Maybe give him till he is 19-20 for first team, Maybe a year out on Loan as number 1 would be good for him, With Keepers it is better that they sit and wait for a while, Goalkeepers don't seem to start as early.
Hawkes will need to go out on loan again this coming season, no doubt. How about Jake Cole from Barnet? Lost his place toward the end of the season, but might be good backup.
Well he is ok, yeah hawkes does need to go out on loan for a season, as number 1 somewhere, Maybe somewhere like Tonbridge angels.
I seem to remember when Hawkes signed his contract Hessy said it was a gamble? Makes me think that he isn't as good as some of us are hoping him to be.
