I thought he did well when he played for us. Far from an Alex Paulsen and had some bad moments but considering he's only 18 I'm willing to cut him some slack. Just gotta hope he keeps improving and doesn't make mistakes on a regualr basis
He controlled his box well. Got his arms high and caught a lot. Was he a young lock?

We played to his strengths and we got our team working, and then we shelved him and a few others for players coming in who cost us finals football imo. A more gradual transition of personnel and I think we’d have been playing in the finals. 

 And wouldn’t have tried Josh sweeping and heading. Chief’s madhouse tinkering and convoluted tactics might have worked, but so many times he just needed someone to say no to him.

I’m always going to be suspicious of a keeper, too, who made glaring errors which cost us games, particularly derby games.
