    I think he is a perfectly serviceable keeper too for this level. As i say it's just something I've noticed over the season, he favours the punch to the catch. But the punch doesn't always land well whereas a catch just defuses the situation.

    Punch and palm is now more common in the game.

    The coating on the balls makes them fairly slippy to catch, especially if under pressure.

    Drop the ball when an attacker is close and you can get punished! I would prefer catches, but understand why keepers do it.

    It is ‘how you punch’ which is important.

    Getting a good contact and directing (as far as possible) the ball into a safe area is important.

    I'd hope so. You wouldn't want to be the person having to superglue a live fox's paws to a lump of wood. And even back then I reckon the RSPCA might raise an eyebrow if they were doing that and it wasn't already taxidermy.

    Watched the goals from Walsall's game and MK gifted them.
    We should really have won at Walsall and I am confident we will shatter their good run next week.

    I agree at their place Walsall looked a very good side for the opening 30 minutes then Walker won the ball and laid a great pass on for Sanderson to equitize, second half we were in control but fell for a soft free kick which allowed them to get the ball out wide to Adomah who put a great ball in for Johnson to head in unchallenged, but even in that game although we had the majority of possession 60% Walsall managed 14 shots with 6 being on target, they do like having a pop from anywhere around the box.

    Keeper saves it if Kelly wasn't there. Look at Walker pull his hands back. It was easy in reach for him

    Said the same. I'm not wanting him to turn into some England wannabe but if he could just run a bit more and jump a bit more then he'd be in a better position to clear it. He hardly gets off the ground when he jumps.

    I looked at the history and yes a fox was stuffed for sure. Honestly I believed it was a pet fox on a lead, , I drove up so certainly hadn’t had a pint or three. Mind you it was a while back . I now struggle to recall last Wednesday ;) .

    Is there less risk in a punch than trying to catch a ball when overstretching…..There probably is …better than dropping the ball in the middle of a melee.

    They certainly have an inferiority complex, all of a sudden we “ hate them” . I don’t see why , they aren’t even close enough for tribal warfare . It must be a figment of their imagination.

    He sounds utterly broken . He can’t even make spin sound convincing.
