John Sullivan should start on Saturday

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Even if God is fit again. And I say that as Michel's biggest fan.

That's how good he was tonight. Two SUPERB saves that kept us in the game at 2-0, impeccable kicking and catching, and great command of the area. That was absolutely faultless from John, and it's just a shame we defended like morons in the first half so he had to concede.

Maybe I'm being quick off the mark, but I'm now certain when I say that we have TWO quality keepers on the books.

Well played, John

Totally agree mate... drop him and it would blow his new-found confidence

 

[blue and white army]

Thats what i like to hear Sullivan are number one keeper, his kicking is stirling

 

[Mendoza]

Well played, he started shakey, but got better and better as he got more of the ball.

His kicking was suspect to start, kicking 4 in a row straight into touch.

Thought they scored when Leicester scramble it in our 6 yard box, but Sullivan was lying on it the whole time. The Leicester fans were even celebrating the goal

 

[Uncle C]

Micky Adams made specific recognition of his kicking abilities, and we know he is not impressed with Michels kicking.

 

[Djmiles]

Didn't look fantastic 1st half, but certaintly a lot more assured second half.

Good debut

 

[trueblue]

Absolutely. Deserves to keep the shirt, and the distance on his kicking is a big bonus.

Did have that poor spell in the first half, but that appeared partly to be because he was deliberately trying to get the ball down the left wing. And what about that one monster clearance that went into touch about 5 yards from Leicester's corner flag - quality. Jonny Wilkinson would have been proud of that one.

 

[Dave the OAP]

anyone else think it was a cast iron penalty where he clattered their forward at 2-0?

Terrific second half performance and why the hell Thornton didn't start I have no idea.

That side MUST be the one that starts against the cockneys.

 

[Don Tmatter]

Forget about a loan signing unless MK is out for a while, give Sully a decent run, he deserves it, he's waited long enough. I had more confidence in him than i did in Henderson.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Boy did well

 

[HseagullsH]

Good thread! Was class in my opinion and once he got into it he looked very assured. Good saves and great kicking.

 

[Don Tmatter]

That's not saying much. I'd feel more confident with NOONE in goal than the Irish Clown.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

He was superb, his kicking was fantastic espically in the second half. He looked confident and he commanded our back four superbly. If it wasn't for him, we could of been three or four nil down at half time.

 

[BensGrandad]

His handling and kicking were superb his organisation of his defence is very good oh sorry I am repeating what I said on another thread yesterday when people asked how good he was and could he step into the team. I must admit I didnt think that he would be as assured as he was but all credit to him.

 

[Deano's Invisible Pants]

He couldn't be blamed for either goal, the second of which was a result of shocking defending. Overall a very assured performance and he should definitely keep the shirt.

 

[Silent Bob]

More good kicks tonight than the entirity of Kuipers career.

 

[Zesh Rehman]

I cant believe your saying this Badger! But you're right for once. Sullivan started bad (his kicking anyway), but he was bloody superb.

 

[Dave the OAP]

our defence still gives me cold shivers.

Whing and Richards are ok going forward, but in the first half, we were exposed time and time again.

Sullivan looked very assured in the second half.

 

[andybaha]

I'm really pleased for him. He has been around the first team for so long without ever being given a chance. When they re-write the Albion A-Z at least he will appear in it now.

Didn't put a foot wrong in the second half.
