SWINDON Town will continue with just Sol Brynn and Conor Brann as the club’s goalkeeping options and have no plans to add another stopper for the time being, according to head coach Scott Lindsey.

After previous back-up option Lewis Ward departed the club for Sutton United on deadline day, Swindon failed in their attempts to bring in an experienced replacement.

The club then began the remainder of the season with Brynn as the only gloveman with professional experience.

Former Galway United Under-19s stopper Brann was brought to the County Ground as one for the future and is not seen as an instant number two.

And confirming Middlesbrough loanee Brynn would play the overwhelming majority of minutes from now on, Lindsey said: “There haven’t been any (free-agent goalkeepers) who have jumped out at us where we’ve thought: “we’ve got to sign that one straight away.”

“At the moment, we’re quite happy to go along with what we’ve got, and if there is to be a situation where Sol (Brynn) gets injured or something happens, then we’ll dip into the loan market and do it that way.

“In the long run, it will save us money doing it that way. Not that we’re here to save money, but it makes sense overall, and it will be better for the club financially for us to do that as opposed to offering a long-term contract out to a free agent.”

Another tactical decision which Lindsey feels compelled to stick with is the continual inclusion of Ben Gladwin.

The Town vice-captain has played every minute of all Swindon’s League Two games this season – a remarkable achievement given the midfielder’s injury record – and has been arguably the club’s best player so far.

Discussing the 30-year-old, Lindsey admitted he had considered taking Gladwin out of the time so he didn’t burn out but admits it would be difficult given his importance to the team.

Lindsey said: “In terms of what has happened to him in past seasons, it is incredible he’s played so much. But we also have to be careful with that.

“I speak to him regularly, and he assures me he’s fine, which I do believe because I trust him. We have to monitor all his stats just to make sure, but at the moment we’ve got no concerns.

“I have had thoughts about taking him out so as not to risk him, but I also keep looking back at what he gives us on the pitch.

“If I leave him out, it has to be for the right reasons. At the moment, he looks fresh, and he’s assured me he’s fine. And if he’s fine, he’ll play.”
