John Sullivan in Worthing Herald

[cannedheat]

Girlfriend has just got me the Herald bit in there about Sullivan.

I think he is good but not as good as Kuipers.

FOOTBALL: Playing for Albion is a dream for Sompting's John Sullivan - Worthing Today

I don't think I have been more pleased for a youth product to achieve his primary goal of playing for The Albion.

Two years (or more) of bench warming can't have been easy and there must have been doubts as to whether he would follow the path of all our other home grown goalkeepers. He has had a promising start and considering keepers tend to peak at 30+, the future bodes well.

Ive been impressed by his appearances during the absense of Michel. Hope he's given the chance.

ps I loved his lil' quote about his parents: "If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be where I am ".

Agree with BoF. Most of our youth players who 'make it' I look at and just see arrogants pricks who shouldn't be anywhere near our level, yet think they're the next big thing. With Sullivan it's different. He's a REAL albion fan, waited patiently for his chance, and has a huge talent that will only grow as he gets towards his best. I hope he's the man to take over from King Michel when the sad day comes in a few years.

agreed, so many of youth products are shit but massively overrated and given far too many games, unlike john

You can't say that though.I mean when we signed Nicky Rust and threw him into the first team straight away at 20? years of age he done really well for a while.
Then he just became pants.It's to early to judge John at the moment but the signs are good.

But you are spot on about giving the youth to many games at such a young age.Even Wilkins said this about Cox but he had no choice but to play him.Is this why Cox hasn't performed for ages now?
