(Hope,NJ)- The Morristown 1776 AFC Manager Dan Clayton controversially removed starting goalkeeper Ryan Vinton, in favor of long time first choice Mark Basso, at halftime of Monday's match with the score 1-1, sparking controversy amongst Continental supporters for pulling a keeper in a tight match, and leaving himself open to "Monday morning quarterbacking" when the club eventually fell 4-2.
Basso and Vinton have been locked in a positional battle for the first choice keeper slot since Vinton returned from injury earlier this spring, with neither player emerging as the clear number one.
"Our depth at keeper is a good problem to have." said the gaffer, "What we really have is two first choice quality keepers, I'm trying to play the hot hand and give them both time between the pipes."
"My plan is to stabilize the keeper slot by starting Vinton tonight and allowing him the full 90 if things go according to plan and then do the same thing with Mark on Friday. I'll reevaluate the position come the weekend, hopefully with a full 90 from each player to analyze."
