Deserves his own thread - what a performance by the young man today!
-
Kept us in that shame he couldn't keep the clean sheet but was just one of those things really hope he is back with us next season has improved massively and will only continue to do so
-
TSL has improved all season. Let's hope he can do it for just one more game and we will be champions.
-
I've been saying it all season, he's a great keeper and going to be playing at a high level for sure.

Yeah, League One with us ;)
-
I still wouldn't have him next season but he was brilliant today. Cheers Teddy.

I’ve not been sure about him at times, but that was an excellent goalkeeping display today. Kept his concentration when he had little to do for long periods. Big saves at big moments (different kinds of saves too), huge penalty save. And then as big as all of them was claiming that corner in the 97th minute. If you’re looking at how a young goalkeeper can handle pressure in big moments then that’s was as good as it gets.

James Maxwell should be buying his drinks all night!
-
He’s really grown and has been excellent this past 10 games. Hopefully he can continue his development with us next season

I hope we get in for next season he’s probably been the best keeper we’ve had on loan, he’s player who looks the part but still only young and another successful season under McMcann and his value will rise !!

He's improved massively over the season.

He’s a young keeper who is still progressing and whilst he wasn’t perfect at the start of the season, he has improved massively and in my opinion would be a great number one next season if we can sign him again.

Johnstone and Dieng are better in MHO , but TSL isn't far behind .

Written himself into Rovers folklore.
Thank you young man.

Definitely..

Add him to the long list of players really giving it in the Sal.
Well played big man.

Good shout about his claim from that corner in the 97th minute Jonathan.
He was right on his line, crowded by players, but took a clean catch and held his position with absolutely no room for error.
For the first time in the game, I relaxed when he caught that ball.
I’m reminded of the moron who sat next to me at the away game at Salford just a few short weeks ago who said “This keeper is f*****g s**t isn’t he?” when Salford scored from a direct free kick.
I hope the same moron feels suitably embarrassed tonight but I doubt he possesses the required sensibility.
So pleased for Teddy, he deserved that moment today.

It was probably the right thing to do, but in my excitement I was screaming for him to get up and have a pop at a goal with his long kicks, the Bradford keeper had gone up, there was no one in the Bradford half
-
I’ve been critical of him at times, and justifiably, but that was a superb performance when it really mattered.
-
He is a fantastic keeper, I think probably well out of our price range though -wages wise. Grant has already said he is on more than a few players put together. Unless he stays at Chelsea he is in for quite a drop in that salary.

Johnson would cost 10 million and dieng about 5 million TSL would be a class singing for next year

TLT is better and realistic in League One.
-
Just watched some extended highlights and Teddy pulled 3 massive saves off. I never saw them to be as good as they were during the game, but wow they are big game changing moments.
We have been blessed to see some top draw keepers on loan, and Teddy is right up there with them. I’d love him back, he is a big part of rovers history with what he did today.

He’s been great all season. What a bizarre comment!

No it isn't knockers. People are allowed different opinions on a forum...

Talk about hedging your bets!
That’s a post that ought to go down in the annuls of ‘Why Bloody Bother’.
TSL couldn’t have had a better team/club/division in which to test himself in ‘the man’s game’ this season.
He’s played in every league game as Grant’s No.1 keeper this season & with all due respect to Ian Lawlor, he absolutely deserved to be given that role as he grew physically & mentally into a position that has the ‘snipers cross hairs’ on you every game.
A goal goes against you. Could the keeper have got down quicker, come out sooner, been braver, more aware of what was around him, distributed the ball better, played long, played short, stood up tall, come out etc, etc, etc.
No other position are you more under the ‘spotlight’ than that one between the posts.
This lad is 21, an age when goalkeepers a decade older than him are still considered to be in their prime.
I have no doubts that when the fans today were chanting ‘his own song’ from the South Stand after the game, he will have embraced that moment & it will stay in his memory bank for a very long time.
“I’ve been critical of him at times, and justifiably…”blah, blah, blah.
Do yourself a favour ‘Pundit of the season’.

We've just been promoted and you're still being an absolute cock womble trying to bully Gaz. You're obsessed with him, it's unhealthy.
-
It’s whether he thinks he will get a chance at Chelsea, as to whether we could ever sign him permanently. Plus the wages as has been said are higher. I would love to see him at least sign on loan for this coming season. When he was needed for the penalty he came up with a good save. He has been good for at least half the season as his confidence has improved.
To me he has all the attributes to be a top goalkeeper. He has things to work on. Just need one more top game from him against County and he ends the season with a winners medal if things go right at the other end of the pitch.

Apparently you are a grown man. That’s sometimes hard to believe with the drivel you spout on here.
@Admin Any chance we can get this guy banned. Personal attack after personal attack on here.
Pretty sure you know who I am (or could find out pretty quickly) as I don’t miss many games. Come and pipe up to me instead of being a keyboard warrior.
-
Aerially he's been better than the keeper we had last season. Second half of this season he's commanded his area well.
I think he did what Pope did last week personally to con their penalty taker which way he was going too.
-
A better No2 required for cover on Internationals?
-
It would appear Chelsea are looking at him to be in the Championship next season.
Never a cat in hells chance we could afford to sign him but a bit of Grant blarney might get him back next season.
If not as GM would say, we move on
-
Dare say he's the best keeper we've had for distribution, his kicking is very long & accurate with a good trajectory. Sharps goal was a classic example and good flick on by Ennis

In my opinion TLT’s distribution was better
-
The question about TLT might be taken out of our hands in Hull come down. They'd be silly to not play him and if they don't I doubt they'd allow him to come to a divisional rival.
As for TSL, he's improved massively over the season and yesterday was a culmination of it all. Confident, strong, brilliant.
If we could, I'd definitely take him next season. He's not ready for the Championship yet so hopefully Chelsea could see a year in League One being beneficial.
-
I still wouldn't have him next season but he was brilliant today. Cheers Teddy.
Just lol
-
I would be more than happy if Chelsea loaned him back to us next season. He is getting better week on week.
-
Just my opinion but, anybody who wouldn’t be comfortable with TSL in our goal next season then I have no idea who else realistically would be better. I feel there is a premier league goalkeeper in the making there. TLT’s name is being thrown around a lot but I don’t think he’s realistic as would cost a lot of money.

In my opinion TLT’s distribution was better
Comparing 24/25 TSL to 23/24 TLT using FotMob
Long ball accuracy TSL 38.5% TLT 33.6%
Says TSL has far more sweeper actions too so stats say he is also much better at coming off his line than TLT.
TLT has slightly more high claims (both good) and is comfortably better at shot stopping.
-
If we even have half a whiff of getting either next year, I and I assume we all, would be very happy.
-
I had some doubts about TSL earlier in the season but there’s no doubt he has grown and developed as the season has progressed
He’s very young for a goalkeeper and has been thrust into the spotlight this season but he has done really well in my opinion.
This is the most difficult position on the pitch and this young man deserves huge credit for what he has done this season.
His penalty save yesterday was as vital as our two goals in getting us over the line.
Chelsea must be delighted that we have given TSL a full season of valuable experience. He wouldn’t have played for England’s U21’s if he hadn’t played all these games for us.
I have no idea what Grant’s thoughts are for the goalkeeper position next season but I’d be happy to see TSL back here for us in League One and it wouldn’t surprise me if Chelsea agreed to that.
-
Can't remember him having a save to make yesterday but very assured coming for crosses, just takes the pressure off our defence.
-
The goal that he conceded was clearly off side.

Looked blatant from the TV angle. Thankfully it didn't cost us!
-
Jatta was off and also the player who squared it across looked offside to me when he received the ball although that was a lot tighter
-
Have another look, perhaps Nixon going back for the challege out wide put Jatta onside?
