David Raya

[BFC1997]

A couple of near-howlers tonight, but some excellent saves too.

 

[Newport Pagnell Bee]

I don't expect an error from him and that fills me and more importantly the defence in front of him with confidence. Just seen his save on the highlights - impressive.

That was a great header. Goal all the way. Great save.

 

[Cham]

Two silly moments but assured goalkeeping and a great low save.. Clean sheet as well.. Upgrade

 

[RobbeeF]

Love him and a perfect fit for us

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Such a clever signing.

 

[ruislip bee]

One dodgy spillage but superb again apart from that

A clean sheet after a spillage is very impressive.

 

[North London Bee]

Love him

 

[Bristolian Bee]

Just seen the save on the highlights. Wow.

 

[kingwood bee]

Conference is built from the back and he just got loads of it, he’s not just a goal keeper he’s also a very good footballer best with had in a long time

 

[Mr Tree]

yep lots to like about this guy, not flawless but who is, a clear step up from Bentley for me. brilliant save from the header, Inaki would have been proud!

 

[romt]

Such an upgrade on Bentley, fills me with so mcuh confidence when coming for crosses, even with the dropped one!

 

[davido_i]

Such an upgrade on Bentley, fills me with so mcuh confidence when coming for crosses, even with the dropped one!

The fact that he is coming for so many crosses in the first place & looking to dominate his 6 yard box is a huge plus

 

[To Bee Someone]

Such an upgrade on Bentley, fills me with so mcuh confidence when coming for crosses, even with the dropped one!

Yeah couldnt work that out. Got so much confidence in him coming for crosses

 

[hairman]

You won't be saying that when it goes all pear-shaped.

 

[cromerbee]

Think he’s brilliant. Loved his celebration on Saturday!!

 

[Beanzz]

His celebrations gave me so much joy

[Brentford_till_die]

Dropped one was Inaki's fault

 

[JANORAK]

Followed last night’s game on here, and a combination of R London, SSN and Bet365. I thought the latter empathised the impact Raya is having.
Invariably ‘Swansea corner’ or ‘Swansea dangerous attack’, was swiftly followed by ‘D.Raya in possession’.
Increasingly GK is not a particular worry. Away games are enjoyed, rather than endured, this season.

 

[Invipai]

He is just extremely solid, I doubt there is a single fan who would take Bentley back, as much as his form was possibly based on other factors. The goal he let in against Millwall I only realised on the 4th viewing or so took a slight deflection on the way through, hard to make out but the spin of the ball does change.

Very assured at the back and I can actually relax having him in goal. Younger than Bentley too...

Having watched the Luton v Robins highlights on Quest I think it's safe to say we'd have shipped a few more of those one on one chances that Raya has mopped up this season (Stoke, Robins, etc).

 

[mhead bee]

A couple of near-howlers tonight, but some excellent saves too.

That's what you are gonna get.

I love him, think he is as mad as a fish.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Interesting. Are fish mad? Frogs maybe .....

 

[BlueJayBee]

The goal he let in against Millwall I only realised on the 4th viewing or so took a slight deflection on the way through, hard to make out but the spin of the ball does change.

I think I posted, somewhere else, that I was almost in line with that shot and (I think) he did well to even get a hand to it.

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

The millwall shot was deffo a deflection IMO. Looks like he did well to get a hand and n it

 

[A Real Mysteron]

It changed direction. Originally it was heading straight into his hands.

 

[WisBee]

A clean sheet after a spillage is very impressive.

......I see what you did there......

 

[SlumanBee]

The millwall shot was deffo a deflection IMO. Looks like he did well to get a hand and n it

100% Dalsgaard throws himself at it and it gets a nick, which messes up what Raya had in mind.

 

[BlueJayBee]

I forgot to say the bit about it being deflected, which is what I meant by doing well to get a hand to it. He was almost on the deck and stuck out his left hand at the last minute, otherwise it would have sailed over him and into the net.

 

[LingfieldBee]

One of our best signings in past few seasons

 

[The Pipe]

Loved seeing him join in the celebrations for the winning goal must have run very quickly!!! A real team player

 

[gbems92]

Scared the sh*t out of me at the end! Damn you david

 

[wanderer paul]

A couple of “wtf’s” but some superb saves and positioning too. Love the guy. :brow:

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Love this player.

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Scared the sh*t out of ms at the end! Damn you david

Don't know what you mean. What a keeper. What a footballer. What a team player. Keep focused on the massive positive that this lad brings.

 

[liverbee]

Scared the sh*t out of me at the end! Damn you david

He was having a laugh

 

[Cham]

Great save.. Small blip with cross but everything else was fine... Loved his celebrations at the end

 

[Invipai]

We got away with that one...but a clear upgrade on Bentley. At least we've gotten away with the 3 errors he's made this season... (Boro, Barnsley(?) and tonight). That said I love how he effortlessly catches every cross like it's no issue. A lot of goalkeepers are punching the one's he's collecting and distributing.

 

[ladbroke]

His distribution when kicking is exquisite

I think they were all offside anyway, although whether the flag was up I don't know.

 

[Holysmit]

A definite upgrade on Bentley and despite the missed cross tonight I feel confident with him in goal. Loved him being in the crowd with the rest of the team for Ollies late goal. He's a winner.

 

[sonofabee]

He has it in him but like Grobelaar he is worth points to us and the defence have total confidence in him. Love him

 

[West Wilts Bee]

He has it in him but like Grobelaar he is worth points to us and the defence have total confidence in him. Love him

Me to mate. How many points did Bentley cost us last season?

 

[Brentford_till_die]

He has it in him but like Grobelaar he is worth points to us and the defence have total confidence in him. Love him

I still feel very safe with Raya in goal and especially from crosses. He’s made some important and very good saves this season already. Distribution is bang on too. Great signing.

 

[BFC1997]

Touch of the Pickfords about him.

Not the biggest presence, and very erratic at times.

But very athletic, a great shot stopper and superb distribution.

 

[WisBee]

Touch of the Pickfords about him.

the biggest presence,
superb distribution.

.......sounds like a removals company.......anagram of D Raya = a dray

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

Love this guy, has the odd flap in him but I love his confidence to come and claim balls into the box.

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Spot on.

............'very erratic'?????.............absolute tosh...............one concern at Swansea,one at the Ra Ras...........unable to think of any erratic' traits................

Very erratic is harsh, the odd slip but he looks just what we needed, a keeper with great distribution who gives the whole defence confidence the way he comes for everything .
