ONE keeper or two? That's the question Grimsby Town's bosses are mulling over ahead of the new season.
Following the release of reserve stopper Greg Fleming, the Mariners only have established number one James McKeown on their books.
And Rob Scott admits that it may stay that way as the co-managers aim to make the most of their reduced playing budget.
He said: "It's not ideal, and we'd like to have two keepers because one pushes the other one, as we saw this season with how Greg pushed James to improve.
"Having one keeper also restricts what you can actually do in training.
"The proof was in the pudding this season and James picked up a lot of the end of season awards.
"It will either be that we run with one keeper, or it will be a young goalkeeper who is not looking for too high wages, but is someone we can nurture along. We're going to have to prioritise and we're not going to have the luxury of certain things that we've had in years gone by."
