i wasn't at griffin park tonight
but it sounds although the hinckley keeper tom whittle
had a superb game to go with his adept performance in the first
match

i wonder if he would be worth signing?

Was competent against a side who didn't push him enough.Rhodes save was good instinct,aerial prowess was because of naff corners.Distribution wasn't amazing.Most saves were within reach of his position.Better keepers out there.

I was thinking he looked very good, but i recall although he's a young lad he retired earlier in the season when at Oldham. So unless he gives his compensation back he wouldn't be able to play league football again. Shame as he impressed me.

Certainly looked capable at playing at our level, not sure what the score is with his past but would be a very capable backup to Nelson, two of his saves were very good.

What I liked about him was his calmness, good hands and decision making. He has the physique and is good enough to make it at FL level given good coaching.

Reckon Nelson is more of a natural and could go al the way but Whittle is excellent.

which is what I thought too. He looks like a capable shot stopper but he looked dodgy on more than one occasion with high balls and crosses last night.

What does their keeper do during the day - an financial advisor? estate agent? Perhaps he could be useful in other ways.... :D

You should ask the Hinckley women in Stripes after the game whether Mr :banana: was there ! :rolleyes: lol

Mr :banana: was just about to take a piccy of them to share with the GPG when the Hinckley Police walked in so we had a listen instead - nosey buggers eh ! :D

i thought he was released by oldham, didn't think he "retired"...

their keeper's a trainee electrician, i remember the beeb saying. tho according to Brook Road, i think he works in Tesco's ;)

Thought he made a number of decent saves, but we should have given him no chance with some of them - particularly Rhodes effort after 5 minutes, which was a good bit of anticipation, but which he should never have been given a chance with.

One of their better players, but no more.

Have to agree.... we never really tested him, everything we hit was straight at him... but he did like to roll around a bit everytime he gathered the ball ;)

Oh and the abuse Nelson was getting from a few fans on the Brook Rd was uncalled for I felt.
 

tom whittle

Worth a trial their keeper. With full-time training he could be a good sub keeper. The performance Julian gave against Milton Keynes convinced me as to his lack of abilities, we need another keeper until Lennie is ready for league football.

Why was Nelson getting abuse? He had a couple of wayward kicks which Salako recovered fine, he was no problem at all.
 

tom whittle

Nelson has to work at aiming the ball, ffs - he consistently kicked it the other side of the pitch from where may or burton were waiting. i can understand some people getting frustrated. but he is a class keeper :sorted:

oh, the bit where the ball bounced over his head outside the area was a bit worrying too......
