.... and thats the beauty of hindsight.When Lawlor punched that one in first half (and it may have been moving in the wind - looking difficult for catching) there were people around me asking what he was doing - should have caught it etcHowever he got it fairly clear and regrouped (if 1 man can regroup). Imagine he had tried to catch it and it had gone through his hands into the net OR he had dropped it at the feet of a Forward (a la Ikeme) everyone would have said " should have punched it in this wind"I think he gets 3k or more a week for his talent and I for one have to respect his judgement. He is in the thick of the action and I am sat in the stands watching

For a young L2 goalie, I'd doubt that to be honest, the average a while ago was about 69k a yr. He will be on between 2 and 3k you would think. Our wage bill is nothing like average in this division, that's why we are top.

modern day keepers are coached to punch crosses away as well as push shots out

watch Sam Johnston now , has a different style to his 1st loan spell with us, punches crosses a lot as well as pushing shots out.
Is it that the balls are less grippy even with the super grippy gloves? I don't get the logic of the fashion for punching.Though from what I've seen of Lawlor, despite having lots of excellent characteristics, he's simply not good at catching.
Scratching my head Wolfy, need a big hint or a clue.I blame it on my age.
