" I informed Carlisle again this season about Adam's form and the fact that they had been changing goalkeepers a lot. I just put it to Greg (Abbott) and I knew that they were aware of his ability previously. I just said that he had matured again this season and his game has come on a lot and for them to come back down and have a look.
" They have liked what they have seen and we have got an arrangement where Adam will train on a Monday morning and a Thursday morning for the next few weeks into January, a bit further on if he does well. So really it is in Adam's hands, they are keen to have a look at him and they are quietly confident that he can actually fill the void that they have got there in their squad.
" He has got everything in his locker, he is a great size for a goalkeeper now, he has got good hands, he can throw it a mile, he kicks it well. His communication has come on a lot this season, or in the last eight or ten months, and I think that that was a stumbling block behind him probably progressing. He has matured a lot more in this last year though and that part of his game has improved a lot, he is not far off now being a really top class keeper. "
