Hell of a save to push it onto the post! Proves that you need a top keeper no matter what measure you play in. Well worth whatever fee we've agreed with Munich
Learned from the best BUT needs to improve his long ball kicking , but we can’t complain as he is still settling in .
I banged on and on about getting a new keeper, most people thought the same as me, but puzzlingly a minority thought Burge was ok at our level, clearly they did not know very much about the value of having a good keeper. What we wanted was a keeper that was better than our level, and it looks like we may have found him
aside his wayward couple of kicks into the stands, there was also a 'pickford style' kick that went straight to pritchard...he does have it in his locker.
Yep agreed and this lad is still a baby in goalkeeping terms. Great to hear Johnson saying that the lad was annoyed with his kicking, the lad wants to be better and will be. The young lads will have learned a lot today from playing against Gillingham. Great experience for them and delighted they’ve stood up to the challenge and prevailed. Twelve months ago we’d have got beaten heavily. Today we’ve won with a lot of players out injured and as a result a few playing out of position. Add in that we were down to 10 men for a good 20+ minutes and it’s a brilliant three points on a day when all the teams around us won. Interesting to hear Flanagan talking about the travel/recovery plans. Well done lads, the management team and KLD.
