With the rumour about Lewis building, #BCAFC should look at Lawrence Vigouroux, signed as 3rd choice keeper for Burnley and in my eyes was the only keeper better than Lewis last season.

Thoughts on Young? Here’s mine: - On the injury, a fair few Swindon fans say he was playing through an injury for a while before he left, so it’s far from fiction. - if sold, it’s clear Alexander won’t let him go for a small fee, so couldn’t be too bad How about you? #BCAFC

@RedimpsLCFC @_kjs1874 It’s not saying this team was better because they had higher xG - it might imply they’re more creative but if two teams have an xG of 2 each and one team wins 2-0 it is a good way to measure their finishing capabilities, xG doesn’t win games no but it’s a good tool imo to measure

@ParadersThe He's a very good keeper and isn't anywhere near as bad at coming off his line as you might think. Started slowly for us but then because a very very good keeper. Was gutted he left and I reckon we would be 3rd rather than 4th had he been between the sticks.

- Sam Johnson Playing in the National League football for Halifax, Johnson is certainly a strong player when it comes to shot-stopping. Some might consider him weak with the ball at his feet, but at times so was Lewis, and in GA’s direct play style this might not be an issue.
