Speaking via the Express & Star the manager praised Steve Hale for his work during his short time at the club, before ruling out a move for Wacka, who is currently working with League Two Play-Off Semi-Finalists Lincoln City, he said; "The wheels are in motion and I would expect a new goalkeeping coach relatively soon. Steve was outstanding, he came in and worked really well with Robbo and Gilly.

"He was out of contract so it gave me something to look at. It’s important for me to come in every day and be comfortable with the people I’m working with and be used to working with them. But I don’t see it being Jimmy if I’m honest. Jimmy is one of my best mates but I don’t see it being him."
