I've been saying it all season, he's a great keeper and going to be playing at a high level for sure.
Deserves his own thread - what a performance by the young man today!
He’s really grown and has been excellent this past 10 games. Hopefully he can continue his development with us next season

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

I still wouldn't have him next season but he was brilliant today. Cheers Teddy.

I’ve been critical of him at times, and justifiably, but that was a superb performance when it really mattered.

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’.
