It would be great if Sullivan makes it. I have had my doubts based purely on the pre-match warm-ups. It is probably a bit harch - but he just never looked either convincing or commanding. He was the right size and all that - but did not look to have that "no-one is going to score" look that Kuipers has.

Well done the Club and well done Sullivan.

I think that would have been a little OTT and embarrassing in the area semis of the JPT.

A bit like the fans singing about going to Wembley despite having two games to play first.

How long is Sully's contract - I hope we have him tied down at least until the end of next season.

I have to say i was very very impressed with sullivan and not just the saves as his kicking and leadership around the box was awsome.

Kuipers is no 2 now i hope;):clap:

There are obviously some exceptions, Hart, Rooney, Wallcott, etc that can make it at that age, but they are all very good players, so no you cant compare them

not sure what your point is old bean? I'm not saying sullivan is as good as joe hart or ross turnbull. my point was that they are good enough for their level and age hasn't come into it. The original post from the badger chappy stated that young goalkeepers shouldn't be in the first team, I was simply refuting that statement.

Egg on face time here - I said he was shit the other day. I do think that was his first 'good' game though - a BLOODY GOOD one at that!
