Title: TLT
Post by: Butchers Red on November 29, 2025, 07:47:28 pm
Hats off to the lad today - his performances are steadily growing over the last 3 or 4 games and he's looking more like the TLT back half of Season 23-24. Made some smart saves low down, quick off his line to balls over the top and generally looks more assured. A settled back 4 with TLT behind them and we'll be alright second half of the season.

I agree that he was much better today but it worries me that he spills saves too often.
I’m still not used to his standard of kicking (after watching  TSL last season).

He made some good saves today. Credit to him. Came smartly off his line to prevent a goal first half too.

He also got away with palming 2 shots needlessly into the centre of the penalty area and dropping a low cross with a Peterborough player in close attendance.

We could very easily have ended up dropping 2 or even 3 more points due to his errors again.

Not for me - needs replacing in January as a priority.

That may well be a factor but I’m not just referring to today.
It is persistent with his play.

He was poor once again. Extremely lucky with the way he parried the ball today. To stay in this league it is a no brainer we need a replacement. Lots of good keepers available on loan. Easiest position to fill. I'm sure it will happen. He's nowhere near league 1 standard.

It’s my belief that you will change your opinion before the end of the season.

Whilst I hope you are correct, if I was Grant I would act quick. A solid keeper with confidence will make or break that back four.

What a very pleasant reply I really do appreciate this, not the often argumentative reply, thank you.

The goalkeeper position like i said last season at roughly around the same stage is the least of our concerns at the minute.
