Sounds like we did ok but Southend is the game to start looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see a keeper in the National League last season that you'd take over Magnus Norman? I didn't and on that basis among others I'm dead happy with our number one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if your keeper does have a weakness (which you'd expect at this level) then being beaten by long range shots occasionally should be one of the easiest things to protect him from. He seems to handle crosses, shot stopping, one on ones, penalties pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman is capable of brilliance at times but concedes too many what I would consider regulation goals. I appreciate I am in the minority in this assessment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le miserable1 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 The Bromley keeper in the last game of the season looked good,even though he was at fault for the goal.Magnus Normans positioning for Bromley’s goal was extremely poor.Goalkeepers at all levels give goals away,fact of life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Magnus defo has a problem from distance aye but he is by far the best we have had for absolute yonks and maybe even the best in the division overall. easy gets us 10pts on his own.

I’ve just caught up on the fact he’s only 26 years old, an ex-Fulham youth of 8 years and has played almost half of his professional games for us. Only going to get better, isn’t he?

Sloshed Joe Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I know injuries can happen at any time and are unpredictable but maybe Rhinoball makes players like Lundstram more susceptible to picking up knocks. The player already commented on how he was being asked to play differently - more high intensity pressing off the ball. Hope he makes a quick recovery.
