    It certainly was Kelly. Brilliant ’off the line’ last ditch defence. I thought it was going in.

    They wait for the swelling to go down and then they prefer to get some strength back in the major muscles for the rehab post op

    I am with you I think it will be a private operation so there must be a medical reason. I was surprised to see him upright to be honest.

    What's Williamson on about any wonder his players struggled, I don't think they were the better team the first half and we didn't give them chance to play the second have which we more or less dominated.

    He is a miserable man or at least comes across like that.

    The important thing for us is to keep winning, some where along the line one or two teams up there will come off the rails hopefully not us

    Yes. I think we are safe from relegation for another season

    Why on earth Walker could have taken a bit more of a run up and a proper jump god only knows. He could have punched it much further. He walked towards the ball and then tried to reach it from too far away.

    Not looking to poke holes in his game, but does anyone else think Walker should catch the balls in the box? Watching yesterday, he started to move toward the ball and i thought he'll just catch this and he didn’t attempt to.

    He always opts for the punch and rarely gets a good connection on it. He's a huge guy and doesn't seemingly ever jump, he sort of leans into a punch of the ball rather than using his frame and claiming it. Something I've noticed a few times this season.

    Williamson points out that we did the basics right, for me this shows how mentally focused we are as a team. It then makes us a difficult team to beat.

    I guess that is why he is a League Two keeper. All the players at this level make errors (even premiership players do). I always think that the biggest differences are: less errors, and read the game better. Other issues such as speed and stamina can be improved through coaching.
    Walker is a decent keeper. It was a very crowded area, he is a tall and big guy and needs space to manoeuvre. He seemed to flap a bit on that occasion. Overall I think he is a decent goalie at this level, not brilliant, but good enough.

    My other half said exactly the same. I thought he was being harsh. He says he is tall and use that to his advantage.

    Me too. Just a point I've noticed in his game, he seems to watch to come out and punch and it doesn't always go well, whereas he can use his frame and actually catch and the threat is gone.
