Charlton Athletic boss Ben Garner has explained why he maintained Ghana goalkeeper Jojo Wollacot in their game against Queen Park Rangers in the Carabao Cup first round.
The Black Stars shot stopper who joined the club this summer from Swindin Town proved his worth in the game as he saved a penalty during the shootouts after 1-1 draw in regulation time to propel the side to victory.
After the game, Ben Garner hinted that goalkeeper Craig MacGillivray could leave the League One club in the summer window due to the availability of the Ghanaian goalkeeper.
“There’s always a chance for every player while the window’s open. Craig is at an age where he wants to play football. He’s an established League One goalkeeper and it’s a hard decision not to play him because he’s a very good goalkeeper.
“But Jojo’s come in, he’s been given the number one shirt and I just felt that he’s hit good form at the start of the season and wanted to keep that going and get him building those relationships with his defenders etc. He did really well again.
“But Craig’s a fantastic goalkeeper as well. At the moment, we’re very fortunate to have two really good goalkeepers plus young Nathan Harness backing that up as well.” He said.
