According to Footymad, out of contract Paul Gerrard is apparently a transfer target for Gillingham after being released by Forest last season.
The lack of opportunities the keeper has had since leaving the reds is largely supportive of my thoughts that he’s perhaps seen his best days as a keeper – and indeed, but in a very grim era at the City Ground he was certainly one of the more positive players to line up for us, so I certainly wish him well – albeit not too well, as I’m not best fond of the pikeys!
It does bring into focus the ridiculousness of some sections of Forest support suggesting he was “the best keeper outside the Premiership” which was gradually reduced to “the best keeper outside the Championship” ad infinitum. Clearly he isn’t, or wasn’t – and in Paul Smith I feel we have not only a better replacement, but one much nearer the start of his career with room to develop further.
So good luck, Paul – but not too much luck
