The big positive today

It was a very good save, one of those finishes that look great when they go in but very bad if they don’t. If he’d smashed it or placed it and he’d saved it people would be saying why didn’t he dink it.

Didn’t say it was. But it wasn’t routine. Lots of keepers go early on that. He didn’t. He waited and waited. He forced the next action by holding firm. That’s world class. The save was excellent after, the all round goalkeeping was world class. Not routine.

I mean that's not world class it's just not panicking, most taller keepers do exactly that. It's certainly not world class just standing your ground.

Beg to differ. Not many of the GK’s in the prem would have held their nerve like that. I appreciate your pov, can even understand it, I just disagree that’s all and cba to keep going round n round. Have a canny evening.

It's a save right out of the top drawer. He's come out and closed the angles down quick. Then made himself big.

He slipped slightly for Isidor's goal, whicj made the finish a lot easier than Diarra's...

Keeper only really gave Diarra one option in the end and knew it. That said if you go through you should be scoring.

3 excellent goals from 3 different players in a season where goals have been our biggest problem.

With our first team CB partnership, we win that game today.

Very unlucky that Diarra didn’t score also, he did everything right but it was a world class save from one of the world’s best one on one keepers.

Rigg’s goal was world class, the touch and finish. If he carries on playing with this kind of confidence it’ll be like a new signing.

He can still go hard and low earlier to the side or even go past him. It's a massive chance that I'd back him to score 8 or 9 times out of 10. But credit to the keeper.

It's a split second, high pressure decision though. The main thing for me is for fans not to get on his back...

Rigg will make it to the top imo. At 18 he’s constantly adapting and improving when most haven’t even made their senior debut

Martinez held his nerve but if you want to try dinking it, you have to get more height. For me, a bad miss and bread and butter save, in his defence, he was very central and maybe had more time - Sonetimes you’re better not thinking about it and just doing it.
 
There was definitely positives but have to disagree on Diarra did everything right if he squares it to Talbi he puts it into an empty net.
