Manager Martin Gray believes York City have one of the best goalkeepers in Adam Bartlett despite a rare mistake against Stockport County last weekend.
The 31-year-old allowed a low Matthew Warburton drive to escape his grasp as the visitors fell to a 2-0 defeat at Edgeley Park – their first loss in seven games resulting in them slipping a couple of places to sixth in the table.
One-time City target Darren Stephenson had already set the home side on the way to victory just seven minutes earlier.
“The goal he let in at Stockport was not Adam, because he’s nice and solid, so he’s held his hand up for that,” Gray told The Press. “But, if I look at some of the saves he’s made since coming here, his performances have been good and I put him in the top bracket of keepers at this level and the one above – all day long.
“He’s an outstanding professional, who is very steady and somebody I don’t have to think about much as a manager,” he added. “He goes out and deals with things on his own and, whilst he’s not a screamer and a shouter in the changing room, when he goes on to the pitch he never shuts up and organises the back four.”
