Long

[SE14]

The turning point was Longs save from Jed who should have gone round him
Jed was nowhere to be seen second half

 

[Shawmi]

Solid game from Long, good distribution, couldn’t do much for their goal and positioned himself well to deal with Jed’s chance.

 

[albertrn]

Think he’s only had 2 or 3 saves to make since he replaced Bart. Defence has been tight.

 

[Phlion54]

His kicking as made a big difference to our game , not many long balls have sailed over the touchline unlike barts....we are lucky to have 2 great goalies

 

[Lion1964]

Long also much more verbal in communication with the defence.

 

[Lionman]

Love Bart but little errors have shown themselves of late and long deserves his chance....excuse the pun but he's taken it with both hands and has certainly added a different element to our play out from the back

 

[partisan_lion]

Apart from the og by Hutch and the slight deflection by Danny Mac(?) Yesterday Long could have two more clean sheets.

 

[Peckham Lion]

Much better all round game than Bart, his distribution probably gets him the nod for a starting bearth.

Reminds me of Horne v Sansome. I thought Paul was the better keeper (and less likely to be chipped ) but Brian’s kicking was better suited to aiming punts at Teddy and Tony.

Bart is more likely to pull off the reflex save but George’s general housekeeping and awareness, as well as his distribution, is much better.

Regardless, a really decent pair of keepers to have

Sansome is one of my favourite Wall keepers.

 

[EVOJM1972]

His distribution is spot on; he's getting us on the front foot way quicker than Bart. First goal against Watford being a great case in point

 

[albertrn]

came out fast to make a good block against Jed.

Watched on highlights, he closed Jed down lightning quick

 

[brockleyhuts]

yes, difficult to see Bart getting in at the moment, he looks a decent keeper, obviously one Paul Robinson cock up and confidence is broken, but he seems pretty resilient, and that kicking is good, has he got a throw in his locker? not seen that yet

 

[STWall]

Sansome is one of my favourite Wall keepers.

I’m pleased for you mate!

 

[Wippa]

Still only 28 as well, so relatively young for a keeper. And with Bart as back up looks like we’re sorted for that position for the foreseeable

Didn't someone mention on here this was Bart's last season and he was looking at heading back to Poland?
Could be wrong. But long is a more than capable keeper. Getting in a new backup will be on the transfer list.

Didn’t know that

 

[BigPaul]

Didn’t know that

I wouldn't bet your mortgage on it being true.

I've been very impressed with Long. His distribution is superb and has added a new dimension to our attacking play.
