Played 90 mins v Telford and kept a clean sheet in a 2 nil away win

Played all 12 games for Salford City in the National League North Conference, only 2nd in the league on goal difference.
Not a great standard of League by all means, but he's at a club with lofty ambitions, and seems to be making a good fist of his opportunities so far with 6 clean sheets in those 12 games. Latest result a 1-0 win against the mighty Gainsborough Trinity FC!
Picked up a red after urinating behind the goal

I'm an optimistic pessimist.
I'm positive things will go wrong.
Did anyone see a stream of the game? Did Crocombe look pissed? I mean, you know urine trouble when you get caught doing something like that. Will his wages get slashed? The club might even decide toilet him go
People like Coldplay and voted for the Nazis. You can't trust people.
Watch Hudson reward him with an All Whites call up.
This was my first thought when I heard the news this morning.
Salford concede four in Crocombe’s absence against Kidderminster. The upshot of this was that they were the protagonists in one of the greatest footballing comebacks I’ve ever seen:
80th minute: Kidderminster 4-0 Salford
Full Time: Kidderminster 4-4 Salford
What a crazy turn of events, but it’s safe to say they missed the big man in goal
He was pretty quiet against Canada overall wasn't he? But I think he looked pretty decent.
Salford are now 6 pts clear of Harrogate in 2nd (only team within 14 pts) with two league games left, so looks like they have clinched the sole automatic promotion spot. A single more point will do it.
Crocombe hasn’t played since AWs game v Canada. Pick up an injury in Spain? The league continued in that FIFA window, so maybe going away gave the other keepers an opening.
He did concede 4 against Kidderminster being his last club start, pre joining up with AWs.

Crocombe missed that game, Tim Erlandsson played instead :) Erlandsson's been in goal ever since and Salford have played without a keeper on the bench, so something's definitely up with Max
Apologies and well spotted, yes Crocombe didn't play in that 4-4 draw.
Seemed rated highly recently by Salford.
Either injured, or optimistically on a trial somewhere?? Got spotted by someone in Spain, and made an impression?
Took him a couple of years, but Marinovic managed to use the AWs to springboard from the 'pub' leagues of Germany to MLS.
His Twitter feed, would say still happy at Salford
There's a Netflix dico on Salford called the class of 92 by the way. It's quite goo too.

Binge watched it in a day. The Juve one on there is well done too (club aside of course). ;)
Won't be watching anything to do with those scumbags - but I'm certainly enjoying the Salford doco :)

Crocombe was back in goal for Salford on the weekend, as they completed their season with a 4-0 win away to Leamington.
Be interesting to see to whether he stays at Salford (now promoted to English 5th tier) - or now he's an international keeper, is trying for a gig at a higher level somewhere.
I'm sure he would be available for any AWs trip to India.
Interesting fact his middle name is Teremoana. Some Maori bloodlines?

His grandfather (I think) is from Cook Islands.
in fact he was in training camp with the CI or a youth championship, can't remember
On the bench as Salford (2nd on the table) win 3-0 at Lleyton Orient (1st).
Gap now only 2 pts.
Salford seem a reasonable chance of the jump to League Two. Lock them in for the promotion playoffs (which wil involve 6 teams) at least, being 8 pts ahead of 7th placed Harrogate. Only the league winner gets automatic promotion.
Crocombe has been no 2 keeper all season, losing his starting role near the end of last season.
Salford finished the regular season 3rd in National League (5th tier). Would have been 2nd if they hadn't lost their last game 3-2 away to lowly Hartlepool, after having a player sent off at 45 mins.
Leyton Orient are automatically promoted to League Two as champions.
The winner of the promotion playoffs will be the other side promoted.
Solihull Moors (3rd) will play winner of Fylde (5th) / Harrogate Town (6th).
Salford (2nd) will play winner of Wrexham (4th) / Eastleigh (7th).
Two winners of those semis meeting in the final, with winner being promoted. Not sure if the final is at Wembley?
Crocombe on the bench for every one of Salford's 46 National League games. Real splinter material.

Class if 92. I binged the first two seasons... Really good doco!
On the same note, the Sunderland till I die series on Netflix is also really good.

So you don't get confused with the Class of 92 doco on the United boys the series is called Class of 92: Out of their League.

Salford beat Eastleigh on pens in playoff semi.
1-1 after ET. Crocombe on the bench.
Salford will play Fylde in the final. Winner going up to League Two, which could now feature 3 Kiwis next season.

\u2014 Max Crocombe (@Meeiix) May 11,
Max Crocombe@MeeiixThe tale of Salford City has been a crazy one. Founded 79 years ago, it had never been close to the Football League when it was taken over in 2014 by a bunch of old mate Manchester United fellas (Giggsy, Scholes, Butt, and a couple Nevilles) as well as Singapore billionaire Peter Lim who took on 50% of the club a few months later. The target then was four promotions in eight years to gain League Two status. Well, with a 3-0 win over Fylde in the National League playoff final this weekend they’ve done it in five. Four promotions in five years. Amazing.
Max Crocombe signed with the club in 2017 and has spent the last two seasons there, starting in 31 games in the National League North in his first campaign but dropping down the pecking order this latest effort. Chris Neal stole his starting gig and that fella got a little greedy in playing every minute of all 48 league games this term, Crocombe literally an unused sub in every single one. He got some games in cup stuff so not too bad there. Plus he gets to go wild in yet another promotion celebration – Salford City gonna meet Steven Old’s Morecambe and Clayton Lewis’ Scodhorpe in League Two next season… assuming all three are still at their current clubs by then. Crocombe’s contract ends after this season so we’ll see if they keep him around.
