The one player who really did stick out for me in Gillingham's 1-1 draw against Chatham Town was Tom Hadler, and if I was Justin Edinburgh I would be looking to offer Tom Hadler a four year contract and getting him tied down for the foreseeable future, With Stuart Nelson and Glenn Morris at the club as Number One and Number Two Goalkeepers respectively (what order those two will be, I guess we will find out eventually), but with two experienced Goalkeepers at the club, I think it would be a good idea to send Tom Hadler out on a Season Long Loan to a club in The Conference South to continue his development by playing regular competitive first team football on a week in, week out basis.
Then, in a year's time, there could be a scenario of where one of Stuart Nelson or Glenn Morris, or both goalkeepers are released at the end of the season, if that happens, Tom Hadler has to be back up to whoever Gillingham has as our Number One Goalkeeper for The 2016 / 2017 season, if we don't offer Tom Hadler a long term contract and if he keeps being third choice goalkeeper in 2-3 years time then someone will sign Tom Hadler and Gillingham will lose out on a really promising goalkeeper.
