David Raya

[Oceanbee]

Just reading an article about how Mendy, Chelsea, has within a year become the top PL goalkeeper.

We can all testify to that!!!

Interestingly, there is a chart in this article showing the top GK’s in the premier league this season, judged by saves made.
Not sure how they based the statistics.

Nevertheless, Raya is 4th in this chart!

Needless to say we are really going to miss him, as much as Chelsea would miss Mendy, if he was out.


Premier League goalkeepers with the best save percentages (2021-22) - - -

Name Number of saves Percentage
Edouard Mendy (Chelsea) 28 88%
Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal) 25 86%
Jose Sa (Wolves) 35 75%
David Raya (Brentford) 25 70%
Alex McCarthy (Southampton)25 70%

 

[JANORAK]

Jose Sa figure mistyped? Presumably 25.75%..

Simply on the evidence of his brief loan spell with us, I’ve never understood how Alex McCarthy made it as a top class keeper

He hated being here and it showed.

Told me that too

Just up on David's twitter - Link to the video footage:

The sound of catching a ball is so satisfying??? We keep working hard to be fitter and stronger every day. Step by step, I’ll be back very soon??? #bees @BrentfordFC @TheOneGloveCo

[hubble]

Wonder if he will be back sooner than we expected he says back very soon

 

[Downbeat Bee]

He hated being here and it showed.

Any particular reason?

To be honest I wasn't that fond of him being here either given the performance level.

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

Dont bet on it, he wont be rushed.

 

[Downbeat Bee]

A relatively early return, if nearly fully fit, would be a massive bonus.

 

[AB]

A relatively early return, if nearly fully fit, would be a massive bonus.

I’d like him fully fit. He didn’t walk straight back in last season so I think we’ll not rush him in.

 

[Banana]

Andy Scott?

 

[Edmundo]

Jose Sa figure mistyped? Presumably 25.75%..

I think you didn't read it carefully enough. None of the figures include decimal points.

 

[rebus]

Andy Scott?

Ben Hamer was already on loan to us from the same club (Reading) so it was slightly farcical. Richard Lee talks about it in his book released a year later.

 

[Bigbee]

anyway a geezer sat on his arse catching a ball with his leg in callipers doesnt look ready to throw him self at the feet of Premiership forwards to me just yet

 

[abeeforever]

A relatively early return, if nearly fully fit, would be a massive bonus.

Didn't you mean FULLY FIT?, We only want him back at his magnificent best, Like before his injury, Hopefully we could be back to nearly full strength in the new year, Fingers crossed

Are you ever fully fit when you return?

 

[abeeforever]

Are you ever fully fit when you return?

As I am nearly 80 and gave up playing 40 odd years ago, I couldn't possibly comment!!

 

[TOXIC BEE]

Back on the grass!!!

 

[BFC1997]

Back on the grass!!!

Funny isn’t it. Few weeks ago and Cox was our only fit GK for training and selection.

Now we have Raya, Alvaro, Lössl, Gunnarsson, Balcombe and Cox all available in group training. Must make a difference to the quality of the sessions?

 

[kaebess]

Quick hands

 

[badgerbee]

Quick hands

But tiny arms......
Will never reach the crossbar in that getup......

Bit of a dinosaur I would say.....

 

[Brentford77]

Bit of a dinosaur I would say.....

Surely we can do better than Arsenal’s cast-offs?

 

[Inappropriate Smilies Bee]

Back on the grass!!!

Back on the crackpipe more like.

 

[wibs]

Back on the crackpipe more like.

even the other players were like "Er good one Dave" whilst edging away from him

He even had to say “It’s just banter”. I guess in case people thought it was an actual dinosaur. Nice earring though.

 

[Inappropriate Smilies Bee]

& Why hasn’t anyone complained yet that he might have injured himself larking about with his high jinx? GPG GPG do your job!!

To be fair there a few of us on the Jensen thread complaining he should have not let Raya do it.

[johndub]

Good to see. Won’t be long now, I hope.?

 

[Ruislip_Rich]

We all hope so. Our most important player.

 

[Jim Rourke]

No knee brace today ?

 

[Untouchable]

We all hope so. Our most important player.

Will make a massive difference to our performance once he’s back.

Out of all the injuries, losing Raya was the worst.

 

[ruislip bee]

No knee brace today ?

Chris I hope he still has 2! Is this worse than first thought?

 

[GABS]

Any whispers on his first XI return date?

 

[readingbee]

We all hope so. Our most important player.

Far more important than a lot of people realised. I’d guess his loss has cost us somewhere between 7-10 points.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Don't think he's far off. Would be surprised if he's not starting in February.

 

[davewfilms]

David looking good in training

 

[James30]

David looking good in training

So glad David is nearly back he’s been missed allot

 

[North London Bee]

Beginning, middle or end?

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Beginning, middle or end?

Not Everton is my best guess.

 

[Lush55]

Arsenal or Palace....................IMO?

 

[addlestone bee]

If not a couple more, inspires confidence in defence and great distribution when playing out allowing the rest of the team to deliver. Cant wait to have him back

 

[davewfilms]

Been back in full training since 10th jan so hopefully palace game as that is a game we have a fantastic chance of winning

Quite possibly.

I’d play him against city, that would be good for his match sharpness.
