Roy Carroll

[RobTheRover]

Must be about 45 now and had absolutely zero pace in his legs on the few occasions he had to attempt a jog/sprint, but by God did he give his CB's massive confidence.  Anything remotely dangerous crossed into the box and he positioned himself perfectly and made an easy block/catch. 

It didnt help that most of our crosses were either a) aimless or b) straight at him, like

I agree there but thats experience

[RobTheRover]

Correct Daggers, maybe our Sam ought to be made to watch the match again to see how Roy operates.

On second thoughts, that would be like a punishment and Sam didnt do anything wrong really.

[Dagenham Rover]

Yep I agree  he did nowt wrong Rob

he is 37

[Draytonian III]

Maybe 37 ,but he is the best " full time" keeper in League 1

[newyankee]

He couldn't get a team over there so had to go to Greece. He came out and admitted he had a drink problem. Takes guts to do that, but it cut his big team career short.

... and who can forget that wonder save from a few years back ?

[acko]

played great all season by all accounts,but thats how you build a side,goalkeeper,centre half.centre forward,gte the spine right you are on your way,nodisrespect to sam,and butler but they are not our players and could be gone january

[IDM]

On Carroll, why was he time wasting in the first half when the score was 0-0?

[swintonrover]

Look who's he's learnt from...

[donnievic]

Tbf though when was the last time we put a decent cross in the box last night they was all easy catches for Carroll or should have been nearly f**ked up on the one by copps in last min,where as Johnstone has had to deal with a lot tougher crosses hit with pace and direction

[mrfrostsdad]

Makes you realise just how good Sully was at 40
