Where's the love?

 

This guy looks very good. Tall, powerful, agile, what's not to love?

 

I've been impressed with what I've seen of him, certainly a massive improvement on brown and the other imposters pre and post ward.

It was some save in the second half. Looks like he's a goalie who will not be bullied.

I was initially impressed with his stop in the first half. It came through a crowd and he reacted real quick to get solid hands behind it. When it parried off one of their players and behind, I was reminded that somebody was quick to criticise Ward for his parries, his argument being that this was a supposed weakness of his. After a decade of Langfield, tolerated by too many for too long, we know not to expect that knowledge of goalkeeping is a given. Christ we had four successive managers who didn't instantly sack the blundering fool. When your reactions are good enough to even get to a ball like that, there's no time to direct the parry. With some saves certainly but not these instant reaction stops.

He has impressed me. Personally I think he has played very well for us so far.

Yawn, give it a rest.

 

Joe Lewis = good though, you've fluked that point.
