MANSFIELD Town will work with Sascha Studer to improve the goalkeeper's kicking in a bid to help him realise his potential.
The 23-year-old was dropped earlier in the season, with boss Paul Cox citing Nottingham Forest loanee Dimitar Evtimov's better distribution.
A groin strain to the latter gave Studer a way back into the team and he has played the last five games, conceding just three goals.
One of those came on Saturday, when he paid the price for some wayward punts, sending one straight to York City midfielder Russell Penn, with the opening goal the eventual result.
Studer made up for his error in the second half, pulling off a fine save to deny goalscorer Diego De Girolamo in the 1-1 draw.
But Cox is keen for the Swiss stopper to further his development and work on his flaws.
"I'm not going to have a go at the lad because I thought he pulled off a great save in the second half when we were chasing the game at 1-1 and looking to win it," said the manager.
"He's a baby in terms of a keeper.
"When I left him out earlier in the season it's not because I dislike the lad or he was playing badly. Sometimes with young players they need to play a few games, then they need to come out (of the side) and work on the training ground on things they need to improve on.
"Personally, I think that's part of Sascha's game he needs to improve on.
"I'm not expecting Sascha to be a world class goalkeeper at this minute.
"He has potential to be frightening and to play at the highest level.
"I thought the kid was excellent in every facet of his game, but his kicking is something we need to work with him on."
At the other end of the pitch, Cox was pleased to be able to deploy a target man in debutant Vadaine Oliver.
The striker joined last week on loan from Crewe Alexandra as Mansfield look to cope with injuries to Alex Fisher, Matt Rhead, Ollie Palmer and Liam Hearn. And he put in a fine performance at Bootham Crescent.
"If you look at this league, everybody has got a big, strong front man," said Cox.
"He was out of this world.
"Everything he did, in terms of leading the front line, was excellent.
"We only brought him off at the end because he had cramped up.
"I thought going forward we were excellent. We just needed that second goal."
