3-0 Bognor.
Albion's goalkeeper tonight is Billy Collings, who makes his.......4th appearance of the season (2 of the other 3 appearances were also in the SSC, his lone other appearance being against Peterborough in the Checkatrade Trophy). He hasn't been injured because he has been the almost-permanent substitute goalkeeper for the U-23s (20 bench appearances).
It is difficult to understand why Albion ever took up the option on his contract in the summer. He is in his 3rd year as a professional (next season he will be too old to qualify as an U-21 player). He joined the Albion from Reading in January 2017 and signed an extension for 2017-18 (when he made only 3 appearances in PL2, and 7 appearances altogether).
Why give a contract to a goalkeeper for two years, and play him in what amounts to 4 "competitive" appearances at U-23 level in that time?
What am I missing?
