I have been asked by several coaches what I do with matchday warmups, so I thought I would share the basic principles of a matchday warmup that I use. Feel free to use whole or part of this warmup routine #GKUnion #goalkeepertraining #football #GKCoach #footballdevelopment

Really pleased for @__Jakob123 a superb keeper and has been exemplary for us all season. He has a fantastic attitude and is a great person. This is a really good opportunity to get a run of games which is fully deserved. Top man 🧤⚽️

[Portishead Town FC @PortisheadTown]

Jakob Glover comes to Bristol Road on loan 🧤

The shot stopper joins from @WSM_AFCOfficial on a 2 month loan. Thanks to Scotty & WSM for making the deal happen.

Glover’s arrival comes at a time when Posset no1, Ryan Thacker, takes some time away from football for personal reasons.

We wish Ryan all the best as we welcome the posset faithful to get behind Glover, who will be between the Sticks on Saturday.
