Thats 2 games Balcombe has made the difference. Imho he has added 6 points already.

Nearly gave 3 away at the end though, but a level above the other loanee keepers we’ve had this season

Nitpicking I know mate but if they had got a 1-1 it would have been two points given away.

We have a stunning goal keeper without doubt. It takes a lot of courage to stop 2 pens in one game. It's easy for keyboard warriors to just sit at home and say it is easy.

He may have caused the pen himself, but he also saved it. It's easy commenting when your a not on the pitch yourself.

You can tell why Brentford gave him a new long term contract looks like he could go on to play at the highest level.

He already trains with the full England side at St Georges Park, so I think his career is already mapped out. He just needs game time.

I'm sure he will learn from it , Richards gave a needless one away earlier in the season

He also made two brilliant clean gathers at the near Post through anticipating where the ball was going. Pure class.

Dubious first penno as the ball had already gone and player threw himself over. Second one, he gave an excuse for the ref to give it. Reminded me of Marosi at Rotherham a couple of years back!

What a keeper though. Lawlor, Bursik, watch and learn.

big fat yorkshire pudding

He had a good game. He made a big error for the pen but then saved it so can't grumble at that. Good player, very good player.

That moment of madness aside, he looks so far as good as Dieng.

Since him and butler has come in the defence looks a lot more solid

Butler was collosus, puts his body on the line

When he flung his head at the kids boot in the first half in our box when they looked threatening & won us the free kick.

Outstanding.

Totally agree with you about the Marosi incident at Rotherham, Baz. Absolute De Ja Vu today. When Ellery ran out, you just knew he was going to clatter their player. Right at the end as well, just as it was at Millmoor.

Happier ending today though. What a keeper.

Just seen his interview. Obviously chuffed about his performance and to learn from his mistake.

Interesting though, it's the first time we've heard a player say “We know what we want". Normally it's the usual clichés, One game at a time etc etc., but this is the first indication the players are really focused and determined to achieving something.

Got a boot to the face and just got straight up and jogged off old school

Watching the foul for the second pen. Is it in the box? Watched it back a few times and it seems to me to be harsh. Not that it matters of course, now.

swain_drfc · « **Reply #58 on** January 31, 2021, 07:39:15 am by swain_drfc »

Wasn’t in the box for me. I felt the ref gave 2 pens that were not pens but didn’t given the once that actually was a pen

steve@dcfd · « **Reply #59 on** January 31, 2021, 08:30:33 am by steve@dcfd »

Just watched two / three times and the contact was not in the box it doesn’t matter now but it was the wrong decision
