Allan Julien

After last week I should just like to say how well Julien played in goal today and on the odd ( very odd) occasion that he was beaten the defence stepprd in and did their thing. It was a very llong second half but well done Alan as it was down to you predominateley that we came awy with 3 points. Thanks :

Well done Alan Julian. You have a song now as well!!! Kept us in the game today.

Well done Alan Julian.

Ditto. Wasn't at the game, but listened on the radio and all I could hear was his name (not sure if that's a good thing thinking about it), but still. 3 points is 3 points!

Come on you Bees :bound:

How does it go? (the song?)

 

[love and mercy]

Will he keep his place when Smiffy is back from suspension?

 

[nocoat]

I don't think he will, even though he is double good and was fantastic yesterday. I hope he does NOT keep his place, as the value of one of bees prized assets - Smith - would drop down and down if he sits on the bench, and that we canny afford

Competition for places is a healthy thing.Do Paul good to fight for his place in the side.

Julian,you start against Blackpool.

I'm sure Smithy will be back on Tuesday but Julian will saviour the moment for some time as he deserves to. If he can play as consistently like yesterday he has a big future.

He needs to be used in LDV cup games and like to get more first team experience so he is ready to take over when the inevitable happens.

We are lucky to have two such talented youngsters as goalkeepers, credit to Stannard perhaps???

no credit to that fat fulham plonker from this part of town
credit to the teachers...

Julian is a fine shot stopper with excellent reflexes that much is clear. However he needs to work on commanding his box and in particular collecting crosses something which Smudger is far better at than Alan Julian. This aspect will improve as his self confidence grows and this is reliant on him getting more experience. It may be that he will need to be loaned out to gain this.

 

[Brickie Chap]

He won the game for us yesterday and whilst he has some more to learn, fully earned his money.

Alan, Alan Julian. Something like that. to the tune of x-0 to the super bees.

A superb performance from him on saturday, didn't suffer a confidence drop from the week before either, must say something about the morale in the camp.

Smith must come back in though.

We have two quality keepers on our books.
IMO Smith is the better keeper, but I haveno problems with Julian being the number one if/when Smith is sold

Julian will need a bit of time and some games to grow into the role. I have no doubt he will be good enough when the time comes, but this season is a bit too soon IMHO.

 

[Loughtonbee]

I've always thought he looked sound whenever he's played but he had a stinker against plymouth, am I right in thinking it was his first home game though? Maybe a touch of nerves, came back well on Saturday & made at least two world class saves. Well done that man.

Annoyed that Wally praised the central defenders on Ceefax and not Julian as it was his saves which gave us the 3 points in a game which we were very lucky to have won. Great PR by Wally to bring the players over to us at the end of the game but I simply do not rate Wally as a tactician. It was like the Alomo in the second half with wave after wave of Rushden attacks in our penalty area...there was just no one in our midfield to retain the ball and Wally was quite content to let this go on when he should have changed the side to try and stem the tide. Julian saved our bacon with some classy saves!

It was interesting to see Julian's pre-match ritual of kissing his gloves and touching the posts and crossbar before kick off. it would be interesting to see if any other player has a good luck ritual.....we certainly need them!

Well done MOM Julian and a message to Wally....please don't play Somner at left back ever again....I fear this will happen when Dobson is fit again

i think that he is a good goalkeeper and there is loads more games like rushden to come from him the best game ive seen him play in was barsnley away last season.
